Beatdown Ep. 1543: Ken Shamrock Talks Gracie Stoppage and Appeal, Sean Sherk on Life Post-UFC

TJ De Santis and Jeff Sherwood returned to the Sherdog Radio Network Wednesday for another edition of "Beatdown." On this broadcast they're joined by UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock and former UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk. On Friday night in Houston, Texas Ken Shamrock wanted to close the book on his rivalry with Royce Gracie. Instead he wrote another chapter with what he feels was an inconclusive ending. The MMA pioneer joined De Santis and Sherwood to discuss his TKO loss, how he is going about appealing the contest that appeared to end in part to a low-blow, and what is left for him in mixed martial arts. Another fighter who's MMA career has been punctuated with an ellipses rather than a period is former UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk. "The Muscle Shark" joined the program to discuss his desire to fight Royce Gracie, his life outside of active MMA competition, and why if he does fight it will most likely not be inside the UFC's octagon. TJ and Jeff also react to the news that Nate Diaz will now face featherweight champion Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 196, how the bout might look on March 5th, and why Diaz as in fact tabbed as the winner of the "Whp Get's to Fight McGregor Sweepstakes."
