Look at the first three fights of the UFC roster, 90% will have fought guys with WORSE records. He has really fought some solid fighters, for a beginer (although they have all left bad tastes in our mouths).

lol Tito is a wrestler and has better ground then shamrock. He couldn't take tito down and even if he did advantage would have went to tito sorry. Fugita was as strong as an oxe and it was very hard for ken to out wrestle fugita. Did you watch the Sean sherk vs BJ Penn fight. Sean sherks greatest strength is wrestling and hes very good at it yet he chose to bang with BJ because he has great takedown defense and its hard to keep him down. Shamrock did the same with tito and fugita. If you think Shamrock has a clear advantage on the ground over tito then you don't know what your talking about obviously. Tito isn't a striker and is very poor at it actually if u know anything about MMA and Sham knew that so he thought thats where his best chance to win would be. I can't believe you think Sham is better on the ground then tito lol. Not to mention in Sham's day he was so good because he didn't really have anyone that could challenge him like today. MMA has come so far since those days and fighters are more well rounded and just plain better. How do you know what his mentality was? You assume alot don't you? Thats subjective at best and I didn't see it sorry. Even if that is the case like you say and Sham just wanted to keep banging with everyone maybe thats because he got old and everyone got stronger and he couldn't take people down like he once could? I dunno is that crazy to think that way? Sham can't just oppose his will on anyone he fights if he just goes for the takedown especially if there actually good like u seem to believe. Also as far as Fujita goes he was also a national champion in Japan in Greco-Roman wrestling. It's just funny to read this because the sad thing is you think you are actually right lol. Ask anyone about MMA and they would tell you the same thing....wheres KBreezy at huh?

Its absolutely amazing that you could be so wrong. Tito has great wrestling and great g'n'p, BUT going into the first fight Shamrock was still known as a true Freestyle fighter, a great wrestler with good G'n'p and very good subs. Shamrock didnt strike with Tito because he thought that was his best advantage, he only stood with him because he is just as stubborn as Frank and wanted to prove a point. Since then that is all he's done. You really need to go rewatch some fights. Why would he think that his striking would be an advantage against Fujita who had NEVER been KO'd.

If you think the reason that he has only tried to stand and bang for the last seven years is strictly advantaged based, youre delusional.
Please go get Kyle Bradley, Id love to hear his insight on this.

BTW, A former King of Pancrase, who learned catch wrestling from Karl Gotch and Funaki is scared to go to the ground with Robert Berry, dont make me vomit.

Shamrock would get murdered by Tito no matter where the fight went IMO.

All u come up with is subjective BS like ur inside the guys head and know what hes thinking, which you don't. Like I said fujita was a greco roman national champion in wrestling and u failed to ackknowledge that. Aslo Tito was a Abu Dhabi wrestler and competed in the tournament to place third, just to lose in the semi's to Ricardo Arona, who is one of the best in the world without a contract right now. Tito had wins over the likes of matt hughes..etc in that tourney. So my little pal buddy sir, you are point blank wrong and no sham would not dominate any of these guys on the ground.

If Shammy beats Kimbo, will a wave of tards come forth proclaiming his return to the upper echelon of MMA?

I always think of MMA like this... At one time, If you were really great at one thing you could win. Then came guys who were great at two things (Hughes, Tito) and they dominated. Now we're seeing the true evolution of the sport where you have to have all three aspects of MMA PLUS cardio or you will be beaten (like Hughes and Tito are).
