I am new to watching MMA. I am trying to do a lot of catching-up through looking at fighters W-L records and You Tube videos..

Is Shamrock-Gracie a compelling match? On paper it seems that Shamrock will have ring rust working against him while Renzo Gracie doesn't seem to have ever been a world-beater.

However, I will say that Renzo appears to be tough as freaking nails. His not "tapping-out" with that ugly elbow dislocation against Sakuraba is unreal.. Unless of course, he was in shock...

So help a newbie out. Is this one worth watching? Is this a one and done for Shamrock or will he continue fighting if he wins?

its not a card worth watching just for this fight, thats for sure.....

liken it to a modern day matchup of holyfield and tyson....kind of intriguing, but meaningless, nonetheless

is Frank Sahmrock better than Ken?

Prime for prime, and p4p4?

Prime for prime, and p4p4?I bet you'd get alot of people who would hotly debate that one way or another, not too many fence riders......I dont have an opinion on it though:jester:
