Well it’s official, sorta…. not really.. But the Shamrock brothers have both agreed to tape up and step into the octagon settling this final chapter in the long running feud as confirmed to MMAWeekly Radio Show. Now they just have to find a promotion to take the fight ,shouldn’t be that hard right? Wrong, who is really going to wanna pay thousands of dollars for shamrock to be wheeled up ringside to face his train wreck, ahem train track sorry (braces) brother? Elite XC isn’t being to quick to jump the gun after the “scratch” Ken suffered meer hours before his proposed “epic battle” with one Mr. Kimbo Slice that cost them thousands of dollars.

It's my turn brother!

While they haven’t set a date or anything yet they have said it will be sometime in 2009. While big bro would love the chance to step back in the octagon he doesn’t seem quite as excited as little brother Frank. Seriously, this guy is going off the reserve folks. He looks as giddy as a virgin school boy on prom night about to get his first blowjob from finally getting some action… in the ring. While Ken is still recovering from his eye scratch lil bro is out and about trying to hype this to be the biggest match of 2009!

“I think if any fight ever were a pay-per-view match, this is the one,” he commented. “I really feel like network television and cable television can really support this pay-per-view by showing other media properties that kind of tell the story of this sport and tell the story of the Shamrock family. That’s my real focus right now, get these other networks to kind of drive some stories to help boost this fight.”

Does he stop there? Oh, no he doesn’t. Little bro wants this shit documented to the “T” with a  HBO 24/7 style documentary detailing the training and everything up until fight night. I think he’s just doing this so he has some proof that he can actually win a fight and that nobody can take it away from him. Oh well I guess for right now we can just sit back and look at this and realize our own sibling rivalries could turn into a cash cow if it makes for good tv.

Shamrock vs. Kimbo

Oh how we love pre fight weigh-ins. They give us so much to work with…. Here are some of the best quotes from the main even fighter.

“Ken’s fighting in Florida, which is no place for an old man. I’m mentally prepared and ready to do it and represent the crib. It’s going to be ‘305’ (his area code) all day.” - Kimbo

“Kimbo has gained a lot of notoriety, but, in my opinion, he doesn’t deserve it. Snap, crackle pop. I am going to walk across the ring, hit him on his ugly beard and break his leg. …Most of the talking has all been said, so I will save the rest of my talking until Saturday.’’ - Ken Shamrock

This leads me to an interesting point, has anyone seen Kimbo WITHOUT hes beard? We haven’t but if you can find any pictures of it we might make it worth your while! What’s also interesting about this fight is that it’s in the “305″ which is Kimbo’s hometown so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out… until then…..

snap, crackle, pop!
