Ken and Frank Shamrock Aren't Real Brothers

[@jessehayes8052]

Ken and Frank Shamrock the real sibling royalty of MMA, Frank was my biggest MMA influence and but Ken is arguably the greatest of all the original pioneers of MMA

[@kainenmorden]

Frank was way more well rounded and the prototype for the modern MMA fighter, he had skills everywhere. Another thing that perhaps isn't as big of a deal because a lot of guys weren't as well rounded back then but he'd beat guys that had huge weight advantages. Both brothers were great tho, no doubt

[@alanguages]

100%. Frank was able to transition from stand up to ground and fight in either environment. Even his training was to do both, by bringing in guys like Maurice Smith as a striking coach. Although Marco Ruas was able to do both, but seemed uncomfortable and difficulty with the transitioning from one to another during a match. Unlike Frank.@@kainenmorden

[@kainenmorden]

@@alanguages I'll also note, frank was very dangerous off his back, many were not like Coleman, Kerr, Ken, etc. but their game was to be the bigger, stronger guy and take you down and gnp or work a sub, when they couldn't do that, that's when they'd get beat though Kerr did have some stand up as well. Frank lost some big fights but also gave up a lot of size/was just getting older in many of his losses and fought some guys who are legendary in their own right like Tito, Nick Diaz, etc. etc.

"Only" 84 miles? As a Brit I consider anything over 15 miles a long journey.

[@moeleicster2737]

Americans think 200 years is a long history, while the British think 200 miles is a long trip.

[@krissanders987]

Right. I don’t consider hour 30 minutes drive right up the road lol

[@kevinsullivan2362]

That's a Western US thing. I'm a NYer who lived in Cali for 20 years. NYers are like Brits, but out West they drive hundreds of miles like it's nothing.

[@RyTrapp0]

@@kevinsullivan2362 More of an "outside of big cities" thing than a "western US" thing TBH

[@kevinsullivan2362]

@@RyTrapp0 No. Driving hundreds of miles at a pop does not typify East Coast culture because traditional life was more localized with smaller distances between urban centers.. In the West, it is much more common because there are vast distances between places, and before the late 90s cheap air travel, people drove those distances. Its a part of their culture.

That's probably the reality of it all on the low.

Their faces, their physiques, proportions. Everything is similar about them except that Frank is obviously of Mexican heratige.

[@chakir348]

or native american

[@bencritterson640]

I think it’s crazy how many people are saying they didn’t know this because Frank has been open about his Mexican heritage and Ken is obviously not Mexican.

[@cozyprimo]

I've met people who look less Mexican then him and their Mexican

[@bencritterson640]

@@cozyprimoyou are right in general but the similarities that Frank and Ken share facially come from fighting (broken nose and welts over eyes) and not because of a shared heritage.

[@m.michaels]

That's how a lot of us look in the Valley/209 area because we're all so mixed. The valley ( Sacramento, Stockton, Manteca, Elk Grove) love mixing it up when it comes to dating. Its even more colorful now. I knew so many mixed black kids who spoke Spanish but just looked black, a few white kids who knew Japanese and Vietnamese because of their mom and dad but they looked straight up white. Siblings who looked nothing alike until both parents where near them. Very beautiful. I knew they weren't because my dad loved Ken and I knew everything about him growing up.

[@fighterck6241]

Doesn't preclude them from being half- brothers with different mothers. But I always knew they were both adopted.

[@KilNova]

Ken Shamrock was born Kenneth Wayne Kilpatrick in Georgia. He has 2 brothers, Richard and Robert Kilpatrick. They all moved from Georgia to Napa Valley California. Their southern accent got them into all kinds of trouble. A knife fight in back of a 7/11 by Redwood Middle School along with other fights separated the brothers into group homes. Bob Shamrock being the group home that Ken would grow up in and later on coach him through his MMA.

[@kennyblacketer491]

I worked with a guy named Donnie said he was in that group home. Guy was cool. Crazy, but cool 😂

[@hakr4751]

The craziest thing is that although frank was 10 years younger than ken, he knew when he was done and that the mma game had passew him and retired, but ken kept fighting for almost 8 years after his younger brother retired That's just insane
