Shamrock Gets Buzzed

By Sherdog.com Staff Jan 18, 2008
Cage Rage has announced that mixed martial arts icon Ken Shamrock (Pictures) will meet English competitor Robert "Buzz" Berry in the heavyweight headliner of their March 8 card at Wembley Arena in London.

Pro Elite, the parent company of the English-based Cage Rage, announced this past Monday that they had signed the 43-year-old Shamrock, as well as his undefeated 19-year-old son Ryan Shamrock, and stated that both father and son would take part on the March 8 card.

Shamrock, who has lost his last four bouts, all inside the first round, has not competed since his much-watched Nov. 2006 loss to Tito Ortiz (Pictures).

Berry, a Cage Rage staple, is coming off a loss to upstart Neil Grove (Pictures) in December. After dominating the undefeated Grove in the opening round, an exhausted Berry quit in his corner, dropping his mark to 11-7.

Ryan Shamrock, a 135-pound competitor, made a successful MMA debut this past August, submitting Josh Besneatte in the first round. No opponent has yet been named for the teenage Shamrock.
