Frank Shamrock says former EliteXC matchmaker Jared Shaw’s recent claim of Shamrock offering to take a dive against Kimbo Slice in the main event of EliteXC-CBS on Oct. 4, 2008 was fabricated.
“No, absolutely not,” Shamrock said Monday on The MMA Hour, when asked by host Ariel Helwani about Shaw’s claim. “That’s some movie b.s. right there.”

Press Release – NEW YORK (March 21, 2011) – Josh Thornburg (6-2), of Stockton, Calif., a member of the Cesar Gracie Fight Team who’s coached and cornered by STRIKEFORCE World Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz, will replace an injured Conor Heun and face James Terry (9-2), of Livermore, Calif., in a televised 165 pound catch weight fight of a STRIKEFORCE Challengers Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) card presented by Rockstar Energy Drink at Stockton Arena in Stockton, Calif., on Friday, April 1, live on SHOWTIME® at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).
Heun, of Los Angeles, tore ligaments in a knee during training and had to withdraw.
The up-and-coming, ultra-tough Thornburg had won two in a row and six of seven until losing his last start to local favorite and more-experienced Roger Bowling in a non-televised fight of STRIKEFORCE: Feijao vs. Hendo last March 5 in Columbus, Ohio.
Thornburg dropped a unanimous decision to Bowling, who had much to prove after being defeated by Bobby Voelker in his previous start, but the 6-foot, 26-year-old was competitive, rallied to have a good second round and nearly locked up a guillotine in the closing seconds.
“There’s no such thing as a moral victory and I was very disappointed I couldn’t get it done (against Bowling),” Thornburg said. “Going in, I was super confident. But I appreciate that I’m getting a chance to come right back and fight in my hometown on SHOWTIME.”
Tickets, starting at $20, are on sale for STRIKEFORCE’s first fight in Stockton at the Stockton Arena ticket office, online at www.StocktonTickets.com, by phone at (209) 373-1700 or (866) 373-7088 and STRIKEFORCE’s official website (www.strikeforce.com).
The first non-televised, undercard fight will begin at 5:30 p.m. PT. Doors will open at 4:45 p.m.
In the main event, former NCAA wrestling stud Justin “The Silverback” Wilcox (10-3), of San Jose, Calif., will face Rodrigo Damm (9-4) of Brazil in a lightweight bout. Other fights on SHOWTIME: 2008 Judo Olympic Games Gold Medalist Satoshi Ishii (4-1), of Japan, makes his STRIKEFORCE debut against kickboxing specialist Scott Lighty (6-1), of San Luis Obispo, Calif., in a light heavyweight (205 pounds) bout, David “Tarzan” Douglas (6-2), of Antioch, Calif., will take on Caros “The Future” Fodor (7-2), of Kirkland, Wash., at 155 pounds, and Tarzan’s unidentical twin, Damian (3-1), of Antioch, will meet Wayne Phillips (5-3), of San Jose.

Anthony Pettis made national headlines with his “Showtime Kick” successfully revealed to us in his WEC 53 Lightweight title fight against Ben Henderson. And ever since, we’re sure most every MMA fighter has gone into the gym, taking a crack at it during training. Even a Heavyweight like Junior Dos Santos is practicing the famous off the cage kick while he’s in the gym preparing to get in the Octagon to meet fellow TUF 13 coach, Brock Lesnar. Dos Santos’ version of the kick is pretty good. He’s a big dude, so he’s no Fred Astaire, light off his feet but he keeps knocking down his training partner, holding the pads up for him and having a good laugh about it. Boy, we’d love to see him try this on Lesnar. Watch the video below:
