UPDATE: Ken And Frank Shamrock Date Announced

As MMATrivia previously reported, Ken and Frank Shamrock have signed a contract to fight each other, although no date or promoter had been announced (see original story here: http://mmatrivia.blogspot.com/2008/10/shamrock-brothers-sign-contract.html)

The brothers are looking at fighting in March or April of next year, according to Frank Shamrock. They are considering Elite XC and Affliction as promoters, under some kind of cross promotion, and want the show to be aired on Pay per View or Primetime.

Here is what Frank had to say on the matter, including some rather derogatory comments about his brother:

"We are definitely going to see it happen; it’s a done deal. I’ve just got to get his old ass into the cage now. Now he’s so old he can’t even get in the cage.

“We finally got it done and we’re looking forward to March or April for kicking it off, try to get him a wheel chair so he can get himself into that cage next time.”

Shamrock Brothers Sign Contract

Ken and Frank Shamrock are reported to have signed a contract to fight each other some time next year.

The contract was signed last week, with no fixed date or promotion attatched to it. Elite XC have shown interest in the bout, but whether they can afford to pick up such an expensive fight at this time remains to be seen.

Ken and Frank Shamrock have been feuding since Frank left Ken's gym, the Lion's Den, and hope this fight will releive some of the tension between them.

Kimbo To Face Ken Shamrock

Elite XC have officially announced that Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson will face Ken Shamrock at their Ocotber event.

Shamrock holds a record of 26-13-2, and is currently on a 5 fight losing streak. Ferguson is relatively new to the pro fight game, with a record of 3-0.

Elite XC Official Jared Shaw has said this of the match up:

This is the biggest fight that can be made right now. It's bigger than Brett Rogers. It's bigger than Sean Gannon. Millions and millions have been entertained by Ken Shamrock over the years in Japan, in the UFC, and in the WWF, now the WWE. He's the biggest proven pay-per-view commodity in the sport. Together, those two will maximize the eyeballs for mixed martial arts on Oct. 4th."
