- The name Ken Shamrock still appears here and there. It is very difficult to overestimate the importance of this fighter for the sport, although Ken himself is not distinguished by modesty.
Today we would like to begin the story of the legacy of "The Most Dangerous Man in the World." We will try to dive into his life, examine him from all sides in order to finally decide - does this fighter deserve all the glory that he has, or is he just a bright figure that shone in his time? We will find out if he was able to be competitive in modern realities and recall many bright fights.
Fasten your seat belts - there will be no stops.

Shamrock looks great on tv. I saw him at a high school wrestling match in San Diego 20 years ago. Iβm decent sized. Shamrock had his shoulders in two different zip codesβ¦ He is huge. The only time I have ever seen some that big was at the Mr.O in Las Vegas. I have a ton of respect for this guyβ¦ Great athlete.
Bc heβs on rocket fuel
For anyone that hasn't had a chance, you really should read his book. Shows why he is willing to work so hard to compete. Hard life.
I really did grow up watching Ken Shamrock was a kid in the 90's and after I started to train in mma my instructor&coach had showed me 70% of Ken's mma fights in my teens by the end of the next year he had shown me all of Ken's vintage fights that I am pretty sure that I missed out on when original aired in USA and after that we started finding his fights over seas mostly in Japan
Yeah but did you watch his IMPACT wrestling career? He wrestled the Sami Callihan.
Who F$cking cares
One of the first ones in the sport a veteran, very cool and humble man, my respects to him, actually got to meet him at apple Annie's restaurant in Tulare where I worked years back ago, took pictures and had a few words down to earth and straight forward individual. God bless and stay righteous brother
Anything but humbleβ¦dudes a roid head ..has been all his life
Humble??? I think you are mistaking him for someone else.
Incredible athlete with unmatched skills set in the fighting arena.
Many youngins only knew him as his character as a wrestler in WWF. He's Rounda Rousey or Logan Paul. Nothing but blood in his eyes
Ken is one of the best of all time. His fight with Dan was classic Ken. I like remembering him like this an not WWF π thanks for the great video.
Say what you want about ken, he is a pioneer in MMA and I met him several times in person and he was great to me. May God bless you ken π
I heard in an interview he had to completely change his fighting style after his time in WWF cause pro wrestling fked his knees up so bad he couldn't shoot for takedowns anymore. That's why he became mostly a striker after
Ooooololololpppop]lll)po])ololll)poooo
In his day, this man was a beast
He was packing some heat with the extreme size balls in his pants too. 4 children and 2 wives (well 7 childrens, but 3 are not his own)...
Talk about some Zoo kind of action in the bed. No current Marvel character would survive that kind of action.
Sure thing.
I've always enjoyed following the two Shamrock brothers. Lot's of heart, scrappy and competitive.
Ken and his brother Frank were really world class outstanding fighters of their time,total 100% respect, But like so many Great athletes and fighters who much later return to the scene of their great glory they often fall on their own sword Father time, L Holmes,the great Klistkows bros,Anderson Silva, Hoise Gracey, Joe Frazier, the great Joe Lewis, even the amazing undefeated EMPEROR Fedor, or Cain Velasquez, anyway more often than not brave men return to the scene of the crime at their great peril
Ken was a pathetic roid cheat
Steroids
Fedor has lost several fights. 1 by submission and 5 by knockout
Who's to say when someone is at their prime though? Is that call up to you or some other stranger? Don't belittle their accomplishments by pretending their later efforts weren't up to par.
Don't forget Muhammad Ali. Stayed out there way too long.
Ken-what a physique and the skills to match.
This 2 part series is a great tribute to the definitive early MMA legend its great to see people have renewed interest in legends like Ken Shamrock he and Frank don't get the credit they deserve for helping to grow and develop the sport into the billion dollar industry we now know not only was he an incredible martial arts champion that proved he could still clash with the best into his 50s as well as showing his talents as a performer in the WWF and TNA all while being an amazing coach that created the first real MMA gym that pumped out great fighters with the Lions Den and basically carried Zuffas rebuild of the UFC with his rivalry against Tito Ortiz he was also one of the first fighters that would grow and develop their repertoire of in ring skills instead of just relying on their base the man is truly an underappreciated legend that should be held in the regard as one of the greatest to ever step foot into the octagon
Frank was the real deal. Lightning submissions, great cardio, big fight IQ etc... Frank also knew when to walk away.
Ken , not so much
The Shamrocks get an insane amount of respect.
Legendary in early eraβs
The most dangerous man in the world is the one that doesn't have anything left to lose
Actually I'd say the most dangerous man in the world is a sociopath. No emotion no care for consequences only to do what they want At their own desirable will.
Jack Reacher?
Feeding the KRplus algorithm. Great story. Ken is a storied fighter, an amazing competitor, and a fantastic teacher.
If it wasn't for Ken and Frank there wouldn't be a UFC ..... people loved to watch these guys and can't forget the Gracie's mainly Royce the sport was so rugged.. gritty...no holds barred type of game at the time a lot of these dudes wouldn't of survived fighting 3 times in one night sometimes that's just hardcore for any competitor....and Kens rage inside and outside the ring made him popular not mention the manner he beat guys in truly one of the greatest
Funaki was actually one of the guys who taught Ken shoot style when he came to Japan so they knew each other before that fight
Who writes the the voice over dialog? It's terrible and literally nonsensical at parts.
pretty sure it's A.I. generated content!
@@tomtanaka841 My friend I showed this to said the same thing. I didn't know we had AI speech that good. It sounds like a real person.
@@deadslash736 yeah, technology advanced real quick in that way over the last few years, at first I thought it was a real dude too, but there's just too many signs. Like you said the dialogue sometimes is just nonsensical, but that could have been bad translations only if the person responsible for the script wasn't english speaking (like me for example). But by listening to many of these, sometimes you can hear inconsistencies in the speech pattern that rings a bell that it actually is an A.I. the information is also stuff you can easily look up on the web. I'm not an expert on this or anything, but there's just too many signs pointing at it.
Also, the weird thumbnails that don't make sense either... Probably a company using algorithms, feeding info to an A.I. that produces those videos. It's getting pretty damn good but it's still not that good that you can tell nobody actually really worked on these!
I still remember when furbies was the best A.I. we had available, time flew by. :p
@@tomtanaka841 its not AI.
Ken was a real baddass!!he earned his notoriety!! I'd like to see him in wrestling again...
The will to win and the heart to win will always rise above all styles of the martial arts.This is why we must see these fighters fight.Results matter.
When you think about how many 60 year olds Ken could beat today AND how many of today's stars could not beat a 60 y/o Ken when they're 60... I think Ken earned the Zen!
I think the audio goes out of sync around the 9 minute mark?
Yep for me too.
Same for me
Thank for letting everyone know. I can't watch videos where the timing of the voice is off.
It went at 5 for me
It started earlier around the 4-5min mark the timing is off and its only gets worse the longer it goes
Thank you everybody for understanding thank you again we all learn from the best that's how we started Young and strong thank you
Amazing to see the progress of Ken shamrock from his very first fight what some called The Pinnacle of his career MMA UFC 6 you can see the greatness and the future Hall of famer to be an icon in the industry
He was the first superstar ultimate fighter imo. Grew to dislike him but it's all a game.
What made you dislike him? Just out of curiosity
@@EReber76 His attitude, I guess his snarly face as well lol, He reminds me of an asshole jock
I'm curious as well.
He did take on a kind of bad guy persona!
Ken had the same problem many fighters, or athletes have, the game evolved and they didn't.
regardless out of the ring antics ill always respect him as an OG of the sport
Ken Shamrock is a great fighter, and fine human being.
one tough dude!
Awsome !!!
Legend
Dan was a beast. He deserves respect
gutes informatives video. :) gruΓ aus leipzig/deutschland .π
I saw the Gracie / Shamrock fight in 1995. Hoyce Gracie was, imo, the greatest fighter alive pound for pound in his prime. Ken Shamrock was the tie for 2nd, sharing it with Dan Severn. The 3 of them together is what made MMA. They are today, the MMA godfathers.
LOL no he wasn't there was alot of people better than Royce.
He wasn't even the family champion.
Royce wasn't even good at high level
jiu jujitsu he got choked out cold .
Always remembered hating Ken back when I was a kid and he was in WWF, I didn't know back then that he was an actual fighter though.
In his time Ken was the Man πͺπ
For sure
πͺ awesome video thanks ππ
Did you listen to it? It was awful.
@@MordecaiAliVanAllenOShea of course I did, I watched ken shamrock when he was in WWE, to MMA
@@janetdear6429 did you pay attention to how horribly produced the video was? The audio was all off and poorly written.
Great video!
Nope
then came Tito Ortiz; same size but by that time Ken was somewhat out his prime while tito was the new monster.
Yep you're right. Hated to see that happen to Ken but, Tito was the young buck, hungry.
he stayed way past his prime n became The World's Most Dangerous Can
Wrestling is a important role in full contact sport, from there add any kind of other contact arts or anything from the streets in...
I like a real man sport "Wrestling" did it for 22 yrs.....got me in college....mono on mono
Ken was one of the first few fighters who are well rounded having a base in catch wrestling + kickboxing = The shoot wrestling style he had gave him advantage in the ground and in standup. Royce best him in the ground tho but it was more of a misshap in ground transition that got him choked out. So the casuals that are saying he is just a bum who tito beat 3x should think twice on what they say. Pancrase era shamrock would tire tito out and submit him in the ground.
Shamrock in his prime would have submitted Tito
Very accurate
You wouldn't think it's a game when he knocks your teeth out...
Not a mishap, he goes for a leglock Catch Wrestling style and got caught. He was a good fighter tho, Royce was just better that time. BJJ was being showed to the world, others would have lost too, so easily or easier.
Ken prime would absolutely embarass Frito Ortiz.
Always loved Ken
He's still like that and it's awesome thank you New York that's what I'm talking about a dangerous person and strong I thank you
I π The TITLE It's Totally awesomeπΊπΈπͺπ»πΊπΈβπΊπΈβ
Ken was a legend he had some Ancient Greek facial Features !
Ken has.always been just awesomely devastating! J
Ken Shamrock, one of the greatest fighters ever.
Absolutely. People just don't realize how badass this dude was.
Remember the match with Royce Gracie in UFC back then, his first loss? That broke my heart. I love "the most dangerous man in the world," still a champion to me.
@@seekanddestroy7343 How about his brother Frank? I never got around to watching his matches. And isn't it strange that they look alike even though he was adopted?
ken was good when nobody else knew what they were doingπ€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
I went to high school with Ken, he was very buff as with all the Shamrocks, black and white from all across the the country.
Β‘Ken shamrock!
Ken had a GREAT UFC/WWF career
That wasn't what happened in UFC 3. Shamrock didn't hurt his leg. He pulled out because Gracie had through the towel in just before his next fight (after fighting Kimo Leopoldo) Shamrock's intention was to fight Gracie in the final and after finding out that it wasn't going to happen, he pulled out of the tournament.π
βThis Wayne Shamrock kid has a lot of potentialβ¦β
some of the audio cuts out?
Ken shamrock was something else, I had no idea he beat Bas Ruten
Is the audio off ?
what happened to the andy hug video?
From Macon GA. I lived there in the early 70's, and my Son was born there. The hottest place I have ever lived.
Ken Shamrock is the real deal !! Tough as nails, and he proved that by fighting the best of the best!!π―πΊπΈπ
?
1:35 "just move the rake, no one will notice that you''ve never farmed a day in your life and you look like an idiot.... I promise"
π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
Shamrock. I know his name ! He is a great mma fighter
#1
It's good if you turn the volume off!
Although he did struggle with much smaller Gracie.
I never liked it that Royce could use his gi as a choking weapon. This wasn't a Jiu Jitsu match and if Royce was going to be allowed to wear it he shouldn't have been allowed to use it that way.
It cheapened the win in my eyes.
I mean how do you get to use a piece of cloth to wrap around a guys neck and call it a fair fight.
But I guess when your order brother is running the promotion and they want you to win that's how it goes.
This sucks to try and follow because the description doesn't match what is showing. Not going to watch any further because of this.
Shamrock looked like a bodybuilder
Voice over out of sync, Lazio? Seems like it's describing another fight. Good vid though
Not to mention Severnβs Legendary Manly mustache .
In Mason GA?
Ken not getting that W over Royce is one of the greatest crimes in UFC history. I mean, look at their heads afterwards. One guy looks like he fell off a train. One looks like he got a coffee.
cool
I always expect him to show up with a chainsaw for a hand lol
Did ai write the script?
I had no idea Ken was from Macon/Warner Robins. Thatβs where I live.
Itβs MACON, Georgia
(think bacon π₯)
pronounced βMAKE-unβ.
Not Mason, like the jar.
Thanks, Captain Dictation.
The first time I became aware of Ken,Was pride.Nis feuds whit Don frye
πͺππ€
If we compare his body shape, with todayβs fighters. Itβs so obvious steroids was involved. He was so muscular compared to the new age fighterβs.
Part 2?
Seems like the video footage doesnβt match your commentary in this one.
Who writes the text for these videos? Is it the two foreign guys who try to talk American, from Family Guy?
Did Ken ever talk about what Dan was saying to him after this fight
I bet homie regretted wearing those boxing gloves to fight Shamrock.
These are the guys that created MMA. Fucking legend.
Respect because he was a stepfor 100 milion people from his country fight
In the ring ofcourse. He was goooood
Your commentary isn't synched to the action in the fights
Ken is the Godfather of MMA. He was the first true mixed martial artist. All the other guys were based on one style but Ken trained in & could do many styles. If not for Ken MMA would have been jiu jitsu matches & would have all but died off. I have the most respect for Ken & all that he accomplished. He truly was the world's most dangerous man in the 90s.
ΠΠ°Π°Π°. Π¨Π΅ΠΌΡΠΎΠΊ ΡΡΠΎ Π½Π°ΡΠ΅ Π²ΡΡ
Hes in mma and wwe or wrestling right
Gracie.. Hold my beer
He just has a face of a fighter
Crazy how the boxer has gloves on and is expected to grapple against Shamrock.
π€π€π€
Video and Audio way out of sync here.
Howβs was he known as the most dangerous man in the world, when he was beaten on numerous occasions?
Is Ken known as a good guy outside ring? I know that shouldn't mean anything - just curious
Is the audio really off to anyone else?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£ world's most dangerous man OMG I can't stop laughing π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
His Lions Den dojo didnβt produce many long time winners. He was good
