Ken Shamrock is apparently proceeding with a legal action against UFC parent company Zuffa, claiming breach of contract.

This is despite him stating after his third match with Ortiz that it would be the last time fans saw him fighting in the Octagon. MMA.tv today reports that Shamrock is proceeding with an action against Zuffa. Fighters Only

He must need the money. I could understand if he was young and had a career ahead of him. That is not the case here. He needs to retire.

He needs the money for another cycle of roids.

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

What he needs is to take a final trip out to the desert.

put out to pasture would have been better, but the message is solid.

i'd like a UFC legends mode..

I think it would be awesome to play as Royce, Tank, Old Coleman, Shamrock, etc…

I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.

He’s talking about the EA game.

Yeah, I am. So if those “UFC Legends” like Ken, Frank, Tank, Royce, and Bas are not signed to the UFC Likeness Agreement, the EA game can have an “MMA Legends Mode” which could feature the above named fighters, as well as guys like Sakuraba, who might not matter to casual fans, but could be made to matter through “Legends Mode.”

by madiq on Aug 11, 2009 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The UFC is at war with EA, and believe me, the UFC is going to throw alot of money at these old UFC stars (the ones who they are still on good terms with) to keep them out of the game.

I highly doubt money is going to be an issue when it comes to fucking up any of EA’s plans. So, the chances we see a multitude of legends is slim to none. Definately not enough to make a legit “Legends Mode” maybe only get a few unlockables that make us go “Meh”.

Apparently the fighters in the game made between 30-85k in sponsorship money.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

Which game are we talking about? EA or THQ’s game?

Either way, holy shit.

THQ. This is from mmalogic, so take it with a grain of salt, but it makes sense that they would get sponsorship money.

There are a lot of fighters in that game that don’t matter to the casual fan, so why not? And I’m fairly certain that Frank wouldn’t be considered a Legend and Royce did sign the agreement.

I STILL poop rainbows.

Odds we will see Ken outside the EA headquarters with a sign “will be digitally scanned for food” ?

Love that show. They show it here in the uk but not very often

Yeah, me too

They even aired the old Japan episodes in Lebanon while I was there on their version of Foodnetwork.

Well I guess Ken has plenty of free time on his hands right now to get around to suing Zuffa for something that happened in 2006. It’s that or try and figure out what the next Wargods card is going to be.

by who me on Aug 11, 2009 11:13 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I think the next Wargods card will be co-promoted with M-1…

That would really be fun :D

This isn't really news, though

People get sued everyday. I’m getting sued, too, and that guy doesn’t have a case either. Nothing extraordinary here..

So you’re saying those pics of you with his cattle are photoshopped?

It’s not anything new he’s been posturing lawsuit since shortly after he was released in 2006 (after he announced he was retiring). The only news now is that he still hasn’t gotten around to it yet. Lawsuits aren’t like fine wine, they don’t improve if you leave them down in your basement to age for a couple of years.

Lemme guess, Skittles is suing you for making their “taste the rainbow” slogan look bad.

Counter suing, because they campaign from me! Argh!!

I STILL poop rainbows.

by Blackout612 on Aug 12, 2009 1:05 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Or umm..

Stole the campaign.

I STILL poop rainbows.

If Zuffa owned up to the fact that the contract with him was still legit

couldn’t they just counter-sue for his fights in other promotions as its own breach of contract?

by Razreshat on Aug 12, 2009 8:23 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Surely they can break a contract when a guy tests positive.

And Kenneth tested all sorts of Barnett.

If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.

I know, but in reality it’s Frank Shamrock’s retarded brother.

Damnit Ken

Go away.

Please.

by Shaun32887 on Aug 12, 2009 1:40 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

If I was Ken Shamrock...

…I’d sue myself.

And still lose.

They should do Ken vs Barnett.

Then they can do all the roids they want beforehand.
