UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock isn't ready to ride off into the sunset.
The former King of Pancrase carved out a two-decade career for himself in both professional wrestling and MMA, plying his trade in organizations like the UFC, Pancrase, PRIDE and WWF.
Now, he's looking to make his mark in the world of bare knuckle boxing with an April, 2015 bout against James Quinn McDonagh.
From a news release on Shamrock's official website:
Shamrock is in great health and feels invigorated by this opportunity to continue to compete and to continue giving back to his fans. Shamrock is going back to his roots as a fighter. Knowing his body well, Shamrock knows that his decision to re-enter the ring for the love of this sport is a sound decision. Shamrock adamantly believes that age should never be a restriction to any athlete. People can do amazing feats past their prime, if it’s a priority to them.
Shamrock knows that Bare Knuckle Boxing is a sport with great potential to grow well beyond where the sport is today. His involvement in this sport is to show support and help its success.
"The World's Most Dangerous Man" last competed in MMA on Nov. 25, 2010, falling victim to Mike Bourke via TKO on a King of the Cage card in South Africa.
