Should Ken Shamrock Retire From Professional Fighting?
Just recently living MMA legend Ken Shamrock lost another fight in the cage. This time against veteran cage fighter and extremely effective kicker, Pedro Rizzo from Brazil, who himself is not even close to current World Championship status, but who can still cause some serious damage.
46-year old Ken Shamrock, who at the peak of his professional fighting career was also known as “The World’s Most Dangerous Man”, is still in incredible shape, but unfortunately he doesn’t implement the way he was known for or better feared of.
Together with legendary Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock was the first MMA fighter to be inducted into UFC’s Hall of Fame just 5 years ago.
The vast majority of his recent fights, Ken Shamrock has lost during the first round, which just has to be to frustrating to say the least.
With his name recognition he still can get crowds excited to show up in throes to watch him step into the cage.
With his vast experience and extraordinary fighting skills that encompass some of the best submission grappling prowess the world has ever witnessed, I firmly believe that Ken Shamrock could easily become a highly sought champion trainer/instructor, fight commentator/analyst and so much more that would even pay some serious dinero.
So, again I ask you “Should MMA Legend Ken Shamrock retire from professional fighting?’
While you contemplate, enter “The Lion’s Den” and meet one of the best MMA fighters ever, Ken Shamrock:

Heart-warming video. I have followed Ken since the early days of his career. He still fills stadiums with his spirit and character, which is why it is hard for him to give it up. He has truly seen the depths of despair, and has risen. A true warrior in my book, regardless of what he does next.
I guess not. He was well trained and what I know about martial art is that you get to be trained physically and mentally. So, considering that he has gone this far, he is truly a fighter.

Hey Sensei Matt,
Good to hear from you again.
I also hope that he knows when the time is right to redirect his energy and skills.
Stay tuned for my next post on an amazing martial artist from ‘Down Under’, tomorrow.

Thanks for writing in, James.
We will have to wait and see.
I just hope he finds the right time to move on and maintain his legacy that he trained and fought so hard for.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
Everyone of us has our own ups and downs. I am thinking that maybe Ken Shamrock is in his lowest. But this does not mean that he should retire because what if this is the only time he failed?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about one of the greatest MMA fighters ever.
I guess only Ken Shamrock knows whether it’s time to move on with his career or not.
We just don’t want to see him sustain extended or even permanent injuries.
Professional fighting is serious business and this is where he feels ‘at home’.
Thanks for bringing up your valid points, Darrel.
