Wargods and Ken Shamrock Promotions Presents David Vs Goliath
Feb 9, 2009
At 6'8'' and 350lbs Ross "The Grizzly" Clifton vs The Legend
Ken
Shamrock will be an interesting fight for the fans.
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Ken Shamrock has had a string of losses over the years, some due to injury - some people wonder why he still stays in the game. I think you have to be a fighter to really understand the heart and mind of one.
“I’ve had a string of bad luck. My ability to get things done in
the ring is still there. I wouldn’t do it if I couldn’t. Trainings
have gone well and it’s really just a few injuries that have kept
me from cutting loose…. When I lose the will to want to do it and I
can’t get past the injuries [is when he plans to retire]. I am
healing up. I’m getting better. I know I’m getting better. But
there will be a point in time where your body just hurts too much.
Right now I feel I’m taking it to some of these guys I’m training
with who hold belts. I know what I’m capable of doing. I just have
to get in there and do it. That’s what I’m working for right now.
The next couple of fights people are going to get in there and see
that and those people are going to have to jump on those blogs and
apologize about my abilities and my fighting. I will prove them
wrong.” Ken Shamrock - Quote
I think we can all agree good or bad there is no quit in Ken Shamrock – in the cage and outside the cage. From sleeping in cars and group homes to an upward rise to the top as an MMA Champion. Falling back down to the bottom again with a divorce, bankruptcy and then the start of a succession of losses. Ken is not going anywhere - he doesn’t know how to quit.
"This is a great throwback fight, when size didn't matter because in the old MMA there were no rules. Guys would fight guys that were 100 - 150lbs bigger than they were. That's a big dude man, how do you beat a guy like that? Im gonna show the fans how on Friday the 13th." Ken Shamrock
"As far as this being a David and Goliath match - I think thats what it is, except this time it isnt an old hebrew writing a scripture, its the grizzly knocking out a legend. This time Goliath wins." Ross Clifton

The match up between Ken Shamrock
and the Grizzly came after John Marsh and
Bo
Cantrell could not take the fight due to injury and
insufficient training time. It is a fight that Ken is excited about
and a fight that Ross thinks he will win.
