Frank Shamrock thinks Ken cut himself

It's no secret that there is no love lost between estranged adoptive brothers and MMA pioneers Frank Shamrock and Ken Shamrock. Frank has taken every opportunity he's had in the spotlight over the last few months to hype a potential PPV event featuring him VS Ken. But he kind of took things to a new level in a recent interview with fiveouncesofpain.com.

Frank made it clear in the interview that he believes Ken cut himself before his fight that he had scheduled with Elite XC to fight Kimbo Slice. His motivation, Frank speculates, was that his ego couldn't handle the fact that Kimbo was making so much more money for the fight than he was.

He went on to also say that a real fighter would not have gone to the emergency room for a cut like that sustained on fight day. They would have superglued it and fought anyway. He also said that he was willing to step in and take Ken's place against Kimbo Slice, but he didn't think the network could handle that.

It all just sounds like more Shamrock brothers trash talking to me.

A PPV fight between the Shamrock brothers is not likely, and Franks next fight will be on April 11th against Nick Diaz.
