Frank Shamrock Dropped From IFL, But Will Rematch Renzo
According to MMA Weekly, Frank Shamrock will be stepping back into the cage to face Renzo Gracie in their long awaited rematch. Shamrock stated “I’m going to fight Renzo in April…. my wife is having a baby in May, and then I’ll probably fight again in (or around) September.” For those who don’t know or remember, Shamrock lost the first bout with Gracie due to a disqualification from illegal knees to the head. Last I checked, the video from this fight was still lingering around youtube so feel free to check it out and see for yourself.
Also reported was the release of Frank Shamrock and his San Jose Razorclaws from the IFL roster. Fans however do not seem to be as disappointed with this piece of news, and appear to be more excited with his announced rematch with Gracie. Shamrock commented on the IFL’s decision “They said they were going a different direction with their business….They’re good people and they’re a good company. They’ve got a hard road ahead of them. I’m still willing to help in any way because they treated me real good.” It has not yet been stated which organization will be hosting the Shamrock-Gracie rematch, but I speculate EliteXC since they’ve hosted or at least co-hosted Shamrocks last two bouts. Without going too in depth, I take Shamrock to beat Gracie in the rematch as long as he doesn’t “accidentally” pull another illegal move and get himself disqualified.

I think that Frank will beat Renzo this time around. Frank is a really good fighter and I see him finishing Renzo. If the Frank Shammrock that destroyed Phil Baroni comes in against Renzo Gracie this time around, then Renzo might be in some trouble. This should be a good fight.
this match up is a good one.although frank has the edge, renzo always comes to fight so it could be a close one.
I was disapointed with Franks attitude after his DQ, but I guess he is known for being kind of a dick. He seemed really respectful when he was comentating for Elite’s last set of fights though, and he is a great fighter. You know the fight I want to see. I want to see Frank Shamrock kick the hell out of Ken Shamrock. I know they don’t like each other, and how cool would a brotherly bloodbath be!
I would really like to see the Renzo Miletich rematch. That would be a good one. Gracie choked hin out in the last one. I may be gone for the next month guys!! Dont forget about me….Scotchy..anyone talks ****…get ma back! haha

Yeah, thats where I am originally am from. Tim Sylvia used to be a bounce at one of the bars there, I had seen him a couple times but he wasnt really well known at that time. I was down there this summer at this big festival they have every year and he was walking around with his girlfriend…he had to felt pretty strange…everyone was quiet when he walked by….buuut he had just lost to randy not too long before that…so I dont think people knew what to say. I would love to go to MFS to work out and learn sum ****..but its pretty $$. Haha…il just continue to learn things on my own and practice my jui jitsu on my girlfriend haha.
