Ken Shamrock on whether he'd win an MMA fight with Steve Blackman | Full Q&A | FTLOW 2024

[@RGF91]

Dude needs to be in the hall of fame RIGHT NOW

[@SiL3NtJ-vf1xz]

10:50 for Steve Blackman question. Also, all joking aside, I think, in their prime, Shamrock would win with no weapons. With weapons though, I would say Blackman could take him.

[@pri0r_t0_a_weekago...fukwi48]

I think it would be damn close, I’d pay big money to have seen that… WWF dropped the ball

[@freshcool5]

I 💯 agree

[@norrisgilham6304]

Unless they fought well never know that's why group thinking make people stupid because they can com up with there own Narrative and all agree on it, with out any true facts presented to it, with only speculation & picking out of favoritism, especially these people who comment on youtube & just let the messes think for them?, also I see people say kicking risky?, but just think if steve blackman was to nails a Good one across ken smamrock hand,well its Not like he can't probably knock him out, especially if it cam to a street Fight, because your even more at a risk if all you Do is take every fight to the ground in every situation?, they could probably be more guy's just around the corner waiting to kick the sh×× out of you if your Beating up one of there friends & got him on the ground, were at lease I think steve blackman train in salf-awareness for that kind of thing?, that would probably give him more of advantage In that Auric fild wouldn't you think?, & Don't try to compere sportfight with fighting on the street because there Not quite the same realy there's No rules in the street You got to remember that?,, you can even look up a video of two MMA Fighter from Brazil one of there name's was a guy called Felcone who just went around picking fight's, him & some other MMA fighter got Beat up buy 6 guy's & one of them got put in a coma, then later some time felcone pick another fight & got him salf stabbed up & killed, you can even find that video it's celled MMA Fighter pick fight at gas station get put in a coma, & Also you can find another of BJ pen getting drop just buy a Fat drunk out in front of a bar in Hawaii, so there's some decent facts for you.

[@JohnLancaster-b5x]

Chris is crazy getting in the ring with him.

[@GregsProWrestling]

Great interview!!

[@johnny5805]

If we are talking in their primes, then no question Shamrock would win. That guy was in the deep of it when ball punching and headbutts were part of the game ! Steve Blackman is just a karate teacher with a great physique and a serious demeanor . Like Ken said "Unless you've done it.... there are levels". If you think Ken Shamrock is a joke then you are remembering the 40 year old guy whose body was wrecked by years of pro-wrestling, and whose legs were wrecked by Don Frye. Prime Shamrock helped define what NHBF was.

[@treadstoned9915]

A man of culture I see

[@VonKlapp1121]

Shotokan karate, jiu-jitsu, escrima, and tae kwon do are all the styles Blackman trained in, and by 2003 had a full MMA school where he taught full range MMA, so...

[@Riseagra]

​@@VonKlapp1121this is not only accurate...but are we talking a street fight with no rules?

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

KEN SHAMROCK ROCKS ATE FTLOW 2024 !!!

[@andylaabs4698]

Let’s not pretend that a guy who can take down the Big Show and make JBL apologize in front of the locker room would be a walk in the park for even Ken Shamrock.. his legs alone would make Ken weary on advancing

[@spamuraisensei322]

Nah, it would be. At that point in time Ken was so much better on the ground. He handled Bas Rutten (a much better kickboxer) with ease.

[@VultureLivesAgain]

Throwing a kick is risky against a guy who is waiting for an opportunity to shoot in.

[@christopherjames9843]

"wary"

[@kevthegoat8774]

Like the previous commentor said, Shamrock was able to takedown and submit Bas Rutten AND Maurice Smith who were much better strikers than Blackman.

[@VonKlapp1121]

@@kevthegoat8774 you saw Blackman fight?? that's crazy, where and when did you see it? I need details for this event that 100% had to have happened for you to say what you said, otherwise you'd just be an absolute fool.

[@LilBobSab]

Lions den and dungeon with Owen was 1998 😂

[@macburninman17]

We never had a chance to see crazy father Ken and his canadian son kalib starnes fight each other

[@wiseguy8100]

How could he not mention Severn as being one of the toughest backstage?

[@pri0r_t0_a_weekago...fukwi48]

Severn wasn’t there long at all, and he was lost in the card (they didn’t know what to do with him)

[@ChicCanyon]

Because its a given

[@politecat2882]

The real question would be, who will top at Ken Shamrock vs Haku😁

[@chaoticdays]

Jerry Sags almost killed him so he should be a very easy opponent for Steve Blackman.

[@davidstivers6696]

you mean when he jumped ken with Knobbs using steel-toed boots and a telephone in the hotel room in 1990 before he was one of the most skilled and feared fighters in the world? Yeah, that was a fair fight and great comparison 🙄

[@chaoticdays]

@@davidstivers6696 Knobbs was fast asleep from drugs and alcohol. Don't believe Ken's version of the story as he always has an excuse for every loss being a professional fight or a street fight. Listen to the only 3rd party eye witness account ie Col Rob Parker aka Rob Fuller who saved Shamrock's life. As for Ken being one of the most feared fighters of the word LOL. He could never beat Royce Gracie or Tito Ortiz in his prime and later lost to street fighter Kimbo Slice. He has a very mediocre UFC record. He had the look that could sell tickets for MMA back in the day so UFC marketed him.

[@gamebronnections3702]

Not to be nitpicky, but Shamrock was in WWE for like two and a half years, not a year and a half

[@opencurtin]

It must be weird going from MMA where you are trying to hurt people for real to wrestling where you are pulling your punches but also go through real pain doing the moves ! There is craft in both Wrestling is more coordinated but none the less dangerous!

[@VultureLivesAgain]

He was a pro wrestler in the late '80s/early '90s before MMA.

[@Chris-hp1wy]

Good question. Shamrock would've destroyed him.

[@1joshjosh1]

How come old dudes like Jerry Lawler and Ken Shamrock always where those designer T-shirts?

[@ShaneOMac131]

Each one of these i see, the crowd is always absolutely dead.

[@MonopolyEventsYT]

Because the feed comes straight from the desk that the mic's are plugged into and doesn't have a crowd mic.

[@ShaneOMac131]

@@MonopolyEventsYT Gotcha

[@sychophantt]

Blackman NEVER fought, dumb question

[@Larry-dq4ig]

It doesn’t mean Blackman wasn’t a legit bad ass though. He beat the shit out of JBL at the airport and took down the Big Show from a laying down position. Blackman had legit skills and survived a long bout of malaria where he lost a significant amount of mass. Most people never saw old pictures of Blackman in late 1980s where he is a jacked 265 lbs.

[@sychophantt]

@@Larry-dq4ig but to ask a professional fighter if a person who never fought can beat you is ignorant

[@Riseagra]

​@@sychophanttbut he had fought. And trained. And trained.

[@mule1783]

Shamrock really wasn't as good as he seems to remember himself being. He just came along and fought in the infancy of the sport when most guys weren't very good and were all one dimensional. There was only a handful of guys who understood grappling, and they were all better than him. And I dont care how far past his prime he was, the fact that he lost to Kimbo and seemed to forget how to apply a Rear Naked Choke, completely exposed him.

[@ivancook1247]

You a fighter? Or just a sidline watcher, like at your kids ballgame talking crap and you was a bench warmer, big difference

[@SGADRM]

You obviously don't know the 1st thing about fighting, it's ok having an opinion but when it's as bullshit as your comment it's not an opinion it's just fucking stupid.

[@treadstoned9915]

The man had the first MMA gym in America and helped bring a lot of the Japanese no nonsense style training to the states. I seriously mean no disrespect but I doubt you would survive a week at that gym in those days

[@johnsambo9379]

You know nothing of MMA and it's history. Please stop commenting.

[@davidstivers6696]

Pretty dumb comment. You must not have watched the real UFC before weigh limits and rules. Stay on the sidelines please.
