It was recently announced that former UFC star Ken Shamrock will be launching his own bare-knuckle boxing promotion, Valor Bare Knuckle.

The promotion’s inaugural show is set to go down on September 21 from the Bears Casino in North Dakota. Shamrock released a statement shortly after the news became official. Here’s what he had to say:

“I fell in love with bare knuckle in the first no-holds barred UFC promotion in 1993. There is nothing like bare knuckle. You have to be much more accurate with your strikes, and you have to train with a specific strategy in mind. Bare knuckle has always been my favorite way to compete because it is simply fighter against fighter, no more and no less. There is something pure and uncomplicated about that.”

No fights have been officially announced for the September 21 show. However, former UFC champion Mark Coleman took to his official Facebook page and revealed he’ll actually be fighting Shamrock on the card:

“Ken and I are finally going to share the Ring! BKB . I will no longer have to answer if I fought The Great Ken Shamrock! Good luck my friend. ?”

Also, Coleman’s longtime friend training partner Wes Sims took to social media as well, suggesting these fights will be taking place on the card as well:

  • Mark Coleman vs Ken Shamrock
  • Wes Sims vs Tra Trauma Telligman
  • Branden Hinkle vs Vernon White
  • Phil Baroni vs Mikey Burnett
  • Nick Nutter vs Pete Williams

Sims added that, “And talks to get Guy Mezger, Mark Kerr and others on the card. I’m stoked. Lion’s Den vs Hammer House BKB.”

What do you think about Shamrock facing Coleman in bare-knuckle action?

The sport of bare-knuckle boxing has been picking up steam as of late. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has been producing some great cards in their first few events.

Most recently, a bad-blood headlined grudge match between Paulie Malignaggi and Artem Lobov. According to a report from AP News, UFC legend Ken Shamrock has decided to get involved in the bare-knuckle boxing business. The promotion will be called Valor Bare Knuckle and is set to hold its first event on September 21 from the Bears Casino in North Dakota.

The report includes that the promotion plans for “quick growth.” Shamrock, 55, is a mixed martial arts (MMA) pioneer who has been fighting as early as 1993. However, he hasn’t competed since 2016 when he was defeated by Royce Gracie at Bellator 149.

He is currently on a three-fight losing streak to names such as Mike Bourke, Kimbo Slice, and Gracie. Gracie is a former UFC light heavyweight title challenger and has shared the Octagon with the likes of Tito Ortiz, Rich Franklin, Don Frye, Bas Rutten, and so many more.

Although he has competed at the highest level in the UFC, Shamrock was never able to capture a UFC title, aside from the UFC Superfight Championship in 1995.

What do you think about Shamrock launching his own bare-knuckle promotion?

In a sport where you are literally fighting for your life, the term bizarre can be far-ranging. For that reason, and for the sake of this list, let’s just say a bizarre ending in a fight is something that is likely never to happen again.

The list starts here, enjoy.

Anderson Silva’s Broken Leg

When Anderson Silva broke his leg in his championship title rematch with Chris Weidman, it was the first time many fans had ever seen an injury of that ilk.

It was not, however, the first time that same leg break injury had happened inside the Octagon. The now-deceased Corey Hill broke his leg at UFC Fight for the Troops on Dec. 10, 2008. Unfortunately, many fighters in several different promotions have since suffered similar leg injuries.

Silva has now fully recovered from this bizarre fight-ending injury but he has only had three fights since that fateful night in December 2013.
