Ken Shamrock to compete in England this July

[The Great Cochrane]

Legendary fighter Ken Shamrock will return to the cage for the first time since 2010, taking on Ian Freeman in England. The bout will go down July 27 for the Ultimate Cage Fighting Championship promotion.
Shamrock, 49 years old, has not fought since November 2010. He is a former UFC superfight champion and pushed for the bout with Freeman while commentating BAMMA 12 recently.

Freeman, seven years younger than Shamrock, has also been on the sidelines for a few years, remaining active in charity kickboxing fights and running his own gym. He once defeated former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir inside the Octagon.

The two were originally set to meet at UFC 43 before Shamrock tore his ACL. MMA Opinion first reported the bout.

Wow, this is gonna be awesome! That one's definitely gonna be a war on the ground if they both can still show the same kind of intensity they had 10 years ago.

Ken Shamrock is my dog so this is excellent news. I hope he's getting in fighting shape. Should be a blast.

That article has a typo. It should say he's 493 years old.

Just looked up where, Leeds so no chance for me.

 

[Switchblake]

Isn't he 463 years old?

It says he's 49 right in the article...

I know, I realized that and edited my post. I'm pretty sure the article is wrong. :

Ian Freeman's a bit of a geezer himself, and hasn't fought for a few years either.

I guess we can call this a modern day version of Randy Couture Vs Chuck Liddell
