Yardbarker: Frank Shamrock

Some Advice For Strikeforce

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:23:36 -0500

I'll continue saying it until they listen to me...Pat Miletich should be an announcer for all of Strikeforce's major events. The fact he is passed over for Frank Shamrock boggles my mind. Honestly, Frank Shamrock isn't even that well known. Most casual fans probably think it's Ken. Maybe that's what Strikeforce is going for, but they'd be a lot better off with Miletich in the booth. He's my favorite MMA announcer because of his concise explanations of the actio...

Shamrock interview: Root for Russia or the U.S.?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:05:59 -0500

It's too bad Fedor Emelianenko hasn't gotten much mainstream media coverage over the years because tomorrow night's fight against Brett Rogers really could've been pitched as a 1980's throwback promotion. Fedor resembles some of the great Soviet Olympians from 30 years ago. He's walking around the fighter hotel in Chicago with a huge entourage that includes two dudes who look like Rasputin. The world's No. 1 heavyweight is decked out in zip up jacket that simply re...

No Quit in Frank Shamrock

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:20:00 -0500

by Michael David SmithFiled under: MMA Media Watch, Strikeforce, FanHouse ExclusiveCHICAGO -- On a chain around his neck, Frank Shamrock wears the metal plate that held his arm together after he needed surgery to repair a bad break. Ask him about it, and he doesn't hesitate to show off the long surgical scar on his arm. The plate and the scar are sources of pride from a 15-year career as a mixed martial arts fighter.That break came courtesy of a Cung Le kick in March of 2008, and in his o...

Dewey Hammond & Frank Shamrock Caption Contest

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:20:21 -0500

I know, I know, there are plenty of other caption contests that demand your attention at the moment, and there's NO WAY you can fit another one into your busy life. But this one was too good to pass up. This still is from the Yardbarker/HardFortheYard.com video of MMA legend Frank Shamrock putting the rear naked choke on Yardbarker editor Dewey Hammond. So caption away! (And, no, there are no prizes for this "contest.")

Video: Frank Shamrock vs. Cung Le

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 02:26:09 -0500

Tonights fight with Cung Le and Frank Shamrock was one of the most entertaining MMA displays I've seen this year. The downright ARROGANCE of Frank Shamrock is what ultimately did him in. He refused to take Cung Le to the mat (where Frank has the advantage), and insisted on trying to knock Le out in the stand up. I can't help but think it would have been a dramatically different match had frank taken it to the mat.

Los Gatos Boxing Coach on a Quest to Get Older Folks Moving

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 23:25:47 -0500

From the article: If professional boxing coach Tony DeMaria has his way, boxing won't be only a youngster's sport for long. Having professionally coached fighters for years, including high-profile athletes such as five-time Ultimate Fighting Championship winner Frank Shamrock, DeMaria is adding a different demographic to his repertoire with boxing classes for those older than 50. The Los Gatos resident says the goal of the class is to inspire older men (and women, although none have registered) to get into shape and improve their health, while learning from a seasoned and experienced trainer. DeMaria hopes to inspire older men to fight the aging process and keep their bodies healthy... read article --- School info: Shamrock Martial Arts 5725 Winfield Blvd. San Jose, CA 95123 Gym: 408.225.2883
