Frank Shamrock is fighting Renzo Gracie
Looks like Frank is going to be fighting again real soon. I heard he was supposed to take on Baronni but that fight fell through for whatever reason. He destroyed Ceasar Gracie, who had never fought an MMA match before. I think he will have a lot more trouble with Renzo Gracie, who tapped out Pat Militich with a guillotine choke. Renzo has been beaten but has never tapped out in a fight. I think this will be an awesome fight and wish I had showtime so I could watch it. It will be taking place as a headliner match for the first MMA show on showtime in their new Elite Xtreme Combat promotion.

What is it with Shamrocks that has to have like family on family stuff?
Should be a good one though.

That's kind of weird. I read about Frank 's possible match with Renzo, and also yesterday there was another post about Frank with Baroni is back on again too. I wonder which match will come first. Either way, it should be exciting to watch Frank Shamrock back in action. For some reason, I've always admired him as a fighter, win or loose.

I think Frank has to ask why so many are dissing him like Thomson
Nobody is gonna wanna watch this fight. This is another Caesar/Shamrock gimmick.
GOD it makes MMA look stupid with idiota's like Frank around.

So Renzo and Baroni are not good fighter? Both are way above Caesars level, so I woldn't compare them. As for me and my camp, we'll watch both fights!

If Frank can get the fights lined up he'd beat Wandy, Chuck, Rampage, or Shogun. Renzo was a very good fighter before the injury, and is an accomplished BJJ practitioner. I think Frank will eat him alive though. Too many under-rate Shamrock's skills, because they wanted to see more, or hate his personality, that is beside the point . . . he is and was one of the BEST fighters in the world.

I have to pick frank for this one, I wasn't too impressed with Renzo Gracie's latest fight against Carlos newton, in fact I think carlos should have gotten the decision. Renzo should put up a much better fight then Caesar, but I just don't see him pulling out the win.
