Frank Shamrock Likely To Commit Consensual Elder Abuse On Brother Ken - But Will the Fight Happen?

Good news for folks who couldn't get enough of Faces of Death - it looks like Frank and Ken Shamrock are finally getting ready to fight, according to this report by ESPN:

"We've both signed a contract to fight each other," younger brother Frank Shamrock told ESPN.com. "Ken is down with it. We talked about it two years ago, and we've agreed materially to fight."

"Will the fight happen? Absolutely," Ken Shamrock told ESPN.com. "He's got a buttkicking coming to him. Everything I've learned, everything I have bottled up in me, is going to come out on him. I've still got love for Frank, but I'm angry at him."

Now people, if you thought Kimbo vs. Ken was destined to be a bloodbath at the expense of the elder Shamrock, Frank vs. Ken will probably be about ten times worse. Frank, after all, is a well-rounded fighter with solid striking skills. Let's face facts. You don't need solid striking to knock Ken out. You just need functional arms, or a pillow.

Maybe Ken would have a shot in this fight if it gets to the ground, but Frank will likely aim to embarrass Ken with a highlight reel knockout. So at the end of the day, this is nothing but consensual elder abuse.

By the way, I'm a little concerned by this "we've agreed materially to fight" statement. That sounds like there are still some issues to work out, and given the rocky history between these two, don't count on them fighting until they actually climb into a cage together.
