Frank Shamrock - Bound by Blood

[@NuVids2025]

Frank is The Man! Never have regrets! Only grace & gratitude for your life lessons. You can't save everyone, not even your own family. Everyone has to WANT to be Helped and Begin by helping themselves, not expect a hand out. You gotta rise up on your own! At the end of the day... God already has tomorrow planned 👍

[@jamierayborn5488]

I had lunch with Frank and his dad once in Birmingham before a MMA event. He was a complete gentleman on that day. I was happy to met him and always pulled for him to win. We all go through bad times that we are not proud of, not everyone sees the error of their ways. I have a lot of respect for Frank.

[@Bobbytigerboy]

Frank. I looked up to you as one the Greatest fighters ever. But, I looked up to you even more as a human being. You're a Warrior in and out side of the ring. God-bless You and you're family.

[@zachm6825]

[@DUARTE99]

Legends aren’t perfect. They are human too. Frank knows he made mistakes and those mistakes haunt him. But he always survives and rises above it all! Like a true legend.

When Ken and Frank Hugged I literally felt that and I'm sure their father felt it as well in aheaven. RIP Bob Shamrock

[@HumbertoRomo-xp5hb]

I met Shamrock by helping him on a very respectable project he endeavored in. I laugh now because when I met him, I told him he should be a professional wrestler. He said he was. I laughed again, and we got to work. I've never checked on who frank actually is because he has awesome energy, and we just got along like we've always known each other. We were at lunch one day, and I told him how glad I was he wasn't a arrogant jerk cause I couldn't work side by side with him. It makes my heart hurt thinking about what Frank went/goes through. He carries himself like a true man, and you would never know, I didn't. He never bragged about his success and never looked at me differently for mine. Frank is a great person, and he fights ok too. Think about that. Nothing but love Frank

[@josephm.2856]

BRAVO FRANK AND KENNY......2 of the greatest MMA Fighters in the world. God Bless you both.

[@jessebrown1400]

Frank was the first fighter I saw as a serious technician. Massive heart and talent. Ken and Frankie are both great fighters, but Frankie was the benchmark, in my eyes at least.

[@nedaCFilms]

Frank will always be my favorite Mixed Martial Artist....

My God, that got inside me and brought me to tears. This was something I'll never forget. It takes an enormous amount of courage to face demons, but even more to face Ken Shamrock. LoL My hat comes off to Frank for striving more toward manhood by seeking to resolve his past. It's great that Ken was man enough to hear him out, to accept his apology and to apologize himself. Remember Ken, the world adheres to no man's principles. Each of us is an individual with our own sets of values, beliefs, fears, goals, dreams, desires, etc. You can't expect Frank to act or react the way you would. Frank is Frank and you are you. This was medicinal to watch. Thank you, Frank.

[@farting505]

Ken was the typically bully elder brother who never believed in his little brother and was his fathers favourite. Frank is a true fighter inside and out the ring.

[@joeblack7660]

"As a Shamrock, a fighter and as a man ". Frank, you accomplished a hero's journey. I wish you the best.

Frank Shamrock is the best to Ever do it. Never saw such natural aggression and fight iQ. He was so comfortable when fighting , like he was engineered to fight.

Such an amazing story, this needs a reboot extended series for netflix.

[@hectorcolon2563]

You know Frank is a fighter when he uses a Gable grip to give a hug!

Well, at least Ken didn't use a cross-face cradle, to transition into a bro-hug. Would have been a sight!

That was a really powerful video. I really enjoyed Frank as a fighter but never understood the whole back story. Frank, thanks for sharing.

[@markking2054]

Comments about Frank leaving his bro under a bridge: Sometimes people on the street don't want help to get them off the street. It's starts with the brother wanting help. He may want what his problems need, perhaps drugs, alcohol. Frank left his number to wait for his biological brother to make the move to get help. I'm sure once the bro asks, or gives permission Frank will reciprocate.

[@natecote1971]

Did you not hear him say his brother asked for help and he ignored him?

[@jonathanbowens2401]

I agree wholeheartedly. Fact is sometimes don't want truly help. Yeah they'll ask for things and complain but what does their actions say? It is always best to help those that want to help themselves. But I also hope if his brother asked for help again, he gives him a shot.

[@fishncapt26]

You're making the same mistake most make, blaming homelessness on a choice and drugs and alcohol. Every substance abuse professional knows that all long term alcohol and drug addicts are self medicating for either mental or physically disabled and that is same reason can't hold a job or deal with the red tape nightmare of social service help off the street etc the drugs and alcohol are NOT the reason they're homeless it's their disabilities and ailments and those are the same reasons they use drugs and alcohol

[@markking2054]

@@fishncapt26 Drugs and Alcohol add to mental illness, I know because I ended up.on the streets, Due to a drunk driver hitting me in a cross walk. I did not self medicate, I worked hard to improve my situation. These street people can decide to quit the drugs and work their way to health. I had a severe brain injury, so don't tell me these people can't help themselves B.S.. Most decide between Drugs and fixes, over leading a Drugless life style cause they love getting high.

[@fishncapt26]

Mark King whatever lol you can spew nonsensical opinions all u like facts dont care about your feelings and are impervious to opinions. FACT that every credible substance abuse expert Wil tell you is long term alcoholic and drug addicts are self medicating for either physical or mental or even emotional disorders disabilities syndromes diseases etc etc and that is not subject to your opinion fabrications or ignorance its proven inarguable FACT. bipolar manic depression ptsd schizophrenia etc etc, or physics shit like degenerative disc or spine diseases chronic severe pain post injury etc, etc etc etc, these are not a choice and not a matter of simply "suck it up, git er done" lol which a why the abject failure war on drugs and total failure of forced sobriety rehab industry are total long term failures. Addicts use because can't cope with pain or ailments of body or mind, forcing sobriety upon them always fails long term, and the ONLY true effective option Long term is to get them the proper treatment and legal drugs aka medications they need to be comfortable and cope and not suffer, and the red tape nightmare is why it's easier to walk in liquor store or dealers house with small amount money and get relief. And the crack down immoral imbecilic idiotic crackdown on pain meds has now created the worst heroin epidemic we've ever had, because people can no legally get pain meds they need and ever sjnce the crackdown began with the wsr in oxycontin and has progressed steadily over into all opioid opiate and narcotic pain meds, the heroin use has directly correlated and risen exponentially every year since the crackdown began. If those folks still were able able readily legally obtain meds they required they NEVER would of ended up on street drugs illegaly on heroin. These are facts and not debatable. And you're b.s. about your experience Is totally utterly completely irrelevant. So you were abke to cope and "work through" your issues,,, and? Who gives a phukk? ! Doesnt mean every one else has so easily overcome issues nor does it mean you have a clue what anyone else lives with or through day to day.p

[@frankcalabrese7074]

" I'm not a fighter, I am human! " No complaints here for this awesome video. Thank you for uploading it, because I missed it when it came on TV due to being in prison from 1994 to 2015. What was so touching for me, and I'm sure this video touched a lot of people in many different ways, was how parallel Frank's and my life were. Instead of having an older brother or an adoptive father, I had a maternal grandfather that loved me unconditionally and was a legend in Baltimore's La Cosa Nostra. However, he groomed me and raised me to be a good man and not a criminal, and I had a younger brother that was the most talented artist I have ever known in my life. I once read an article that my brother was interviewed in and he was giving me respects in reference to street art, something I turned him onto as really little kids. I didn't deserve the credit, he was the one with the natural ability, but he was genuine in paying his respects to me for that. I never really knew the full story as to why these two adopted Brothers were so angry at one another, and I am appreciative to know why now. This story had me in tears quite a few times. This is definitely a great story for people to see who had familial problems in the past or currently, whether they are into MMA or not. Again, thanks for the video upload and ciao Fratello, from Baltimore Maryland. By the way, my grandfather died 18 years ago while I was incarcerated, and my brother still resents me for things I did as a child and as a young adult that caused grief to my mother, like prison and the possibility of me getting killed in these streets. I've reached out to him many times since I have been home, and I'm hoping as Ken Shamrock did, he one day forgives me and we can be a family again. Famiglia Siempre!

[@ajf9408]

Frank inspires me. Fighting abilities aside. To take on your past, right the wrongs, and ask forgiveness and reconcile with hateful people while being the truest version of yourself... That's a great man.

[@drew856856]

i can understand how Frank feels. He should of seen his dad off. But thats something he has to live with. Frank is a great human and has a lot of pain. hes looking back at his life kicking himself for his past mistakes. Someone with a good soul will always shed tears from time to time when they relive the past. The remorse and pain from past actions that can't be changed is hard to live with. im glad hes making progress to heal and rebuild relationships. Much respect to Frank for letting the world see his true feelings in his life.

[@CHUUMPASS]

This entire video took a huge amount of courage and integrity to make and put out for the world to see. The amazing thing is that it probably made a lot of the viewers out there reflect on their own past hurts and disappointments and take steps to make amends with people they may have severed ties with. I know it did with me. Thanks for sharing this with the world, Mr. Shamrock.

[@amirharris6676]

Best part of the whole story is the hug! We have to be forgiving people because we live in a broken world. I truly believe that Ken and Frank love each other. They should allow their relationship to grow and Frank needs to help his brother ASAP!

[@kevinbraden798]

Love you Frank. Thanks for the memories, and the person you are. Peace

[@markmiller4376]

The story of a man (two men really, counting Ken Shamrock) that those born into and live the pampered life will never fully understand. Rage and aggression - Frank and his brother had it in spades, what every fighter needs to excel or even enter the cage in the first place. Add to the formula a strong work ethic and a high threshold for pain, and you've got a champion in the making.

[@chunky9791]

[@elijahrobinson2362]

I LOVE that Nick showed Frank so much respect, that Tito also did, but am still mad that Frank fought the way he did against Cung Le. All he needed to do was get Le to the mat. He just fought the wrong game plan.

[@mlscrow4817]

Wow...Frank has literally been my favorite real fighter since the days of Pancrase. For a while, I thought that he had too much of an ego to ever make up with Ken or apologize, but the fact that he never went to his own father's funeral while his father was asking for him, he ended up being heavily burdened by guilt and from first hand experience, that can crush any man. And once I saw this documentary and how Frank has matured and grown as a person...how he has let go of his ego, how he has let down his guard, let his defense, his wall, fall, exposing himself as a very sensitive person underneath...it made me gain so much more respect for him, the legend, my favorite fighter ever.

[@keeanoagustiadi241]

Hey Frank, I first discovered you when my dad rented a UFC DVD and I watched you drop a guy on his head; that was intense! I know you're not exactly proud of that moment but you became my favorite after that; I'm halfway through Uncaged and you're the real deal man! God bless 👊
