Celebrated former five-time world champion and MMA pioneer Frank Shamrock and world renowned, revenge-minded Brazilian Jiujitsu expert Renzo Gracie will usher in the next generation of Mixed Martial Arts with EliteXC when their match-up highlights an explosive MMA fight card airing live for the first time on premium television. http://fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=954
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
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:
