Shamrock - it might be time to retire...

[Dilaudid]

Cage Rage 25 played out to a full house of 8,300 people at the Wembley Arena who witnessed a blinder of a card featuring the legend Ken Shamrock fall to the hands of Robert “Buzz” Berry via first round KO. Berry has cemented his place into British MMA history with the win and appeared to be ecstatic with the victory.

From early on in the round it appeared as though Shamrock was tentative and unwilling to fully commit to a striking offence. When he did step in, he had to deal with a larger deficit in reach as well as an opponent who wouldn't be drawn into a brawling exchange. Berry had instead preferred to circle and pick off 1-2 combinations; a tactic that gained effectiveness as the fight wore on.

Shamrock appeared to catch a few shots on occasion, forcing him to try and close the distance. But, it appeared as though Berry had the advantage in strength and was able to avoid being drawn to the canvas. 3:26 into the first round and a big hook off the back of a knee sent the UFC Hall of Famer crashing to the canvas and out of the contest.

ALSO...

Giorgio Andrews and Ryan Shamrock had an absolute tear up in their Bantamweight bout and both fighters should be proud of their performance- it was a true back and forth battle of the wills. As soon as the bell rang, Shamrock landed a big right straight away signalling his intent and following it up with a solid takedown. Andrews was completely at ease from his back though and managed to avoid danger before getting back to his feet. From there the pair of them kept trading shot for shot and swinging for the fences with both fighters connecting well with their punches.

Unfortunately, we were denied a war into the second round as Ryan Shamrock was unable to continue due to a broken hand, as it turns out, his opening shot proved to be the impact that caused the break and he did exceptionally well to fight the way he did in the first round considering the damage.

Now, if only someone would pound the shit out of Frank Shamrock, and put an end to his career, all things would be right in the world again...

Ken is done, I just don't get why he wants to run his legacy into the ground like that.

Now Frank, he's got a few more awesome fights left in him, IMO.

Yeah, I saw that too. Frank lost that fight on his own, showboating the first two rounds. Not trying to take anything from Cung, but Frank should have won that fight.

[cutlersosa]

i agree.

i really thought he was going to win that fight.

[awakened615]

Ken is washed up IMO too. Not taking anything away from him as he is also a great fighter but time tells everything.

As for Frank well he is an entertainer and does the same thing in every fight. He smiles at his opponent, and put his hands up as to say come on bring it. I think the funniest shit he did was against Berone when he was doing piroet. LMAO. He does that tp get his opponent off there game. They are getting pissed because he is embarrassing the shit out of them in front of thousands of people. I love watching him fight. Respectfully, Awakened
