Fight Path: Despite UFC and Strikeforce fights, Josh Shockman fights for fun, not fame

The name Josh Shockman may ring a bell.

Early in the fighter’s career, he got a fight at UFC 65 when the Ultimate Fighting Championship was still building up heavyweight Jake O”Brien. And he next fights at “Strikeforce: Nashville” later this month.

But the fighter, who once had $200 to his name and fought a guy who put a $4,000 bedroom set up against Shockman’s car, isn’t too concerned with fame. His fights for money and fun, and he can do that on stages big and small.
