Regardless of what you may think about Ken Shamrock’s decision to return to action against Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson, the 44-year-old UFC legend wants you to know one thing: Ken Shamrock is a fighter.
Critics of Shamrock (26-13-2) have been vocal since the announcement of his participation in the main event of EliteXC’s next CBS broadcast. But Shamrock recently told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com (http://www.mmajunkie.com)) he intends to win the Oct. 4 fight—and disprove his critics in the process.
“I’m a fighter,” Shamrock. “I’ve done a lot in the MMA world, and I’m very happy with the things that I’ve done. There are things that I want to go back and change. And I can do it with this fight.”
Shamrock nearly had the opportunity to face Slice on May’s CBS-debut broadcast. A loss to Robert “Buzz” Berry at a Cage Rage event in England forced EliteXC to seek out another opponent. The organization terminated Shamrock’s contract in the process.
Shamrock accepted full responsibility for the loss and said he didn’t harbor any ill feelings toward EliteXC when they contacted him about the chance to appear in October.
