Frank Shamrock: I think so, I think I can beat anybody now. My knowledge of fighting and my skill is better than it's ever been in my entire life. I look at this as a chance to show that. Ken's still a formidable guy and he won't give up so I'm gonna have to put an ass whipping on him. Ken's son will definitely be on the card as well. We'll have the whole family on it [laughs].

Fightline.com: Ken came out in a few interviews and voiced his discontent about your relationship with your adopted Dad, Bob Shamrock. Can you elaborate on where your relationship went wrong with Bob.

Frank Shamrock:Bob and him were very close, very intertwined and when I felt that it was time for me to leave and it was my time to go...they didn't think I was a fighter. They thought I was too nice. They wanted me to run the gym and just be a supporter kind of guy. But I felt I had the skill and ability to make it. But whether they wanted to protect me or jealousy or whatever, they didn't want me to go and be my own man. But it came time for me to leave and they didn't take that well. First Bob was really upset and then Ken got really upset and they kind of traded back and forth and they had a very close relationship. When I left there they made it very clear that if I went that I couldn't come back and that I wasn't part of the family anymore and that was it. I took my blue pair of boxing gloves and I left. I was twenty-four. I was at that borderline position where I was ready to be serious about the sport.

Fightline.com: Have you every had to use your MMA skills in a street fight?

Frank Shamrock:I've been in three street fights. Two as a pro. I got into a fight with Tank Abott's crew one night and I beat up there big guy. They wouldn't leave me alone. We were in Alabama and after one of the UFC events and we all went out partying, I'm sure it was at a club or something. It was about four in the morning and we came back to the hotel and the big guy from Tank's crew got out and picked a fight with me, started chasing me around our taxi and wouldn't leave me alone so I beat him down and knocked him out and then they were all nice to me. But he came up to me the next morning and apologized and we were cool after that.

The other one was at a fight with a guy outside of a hardware store in Los Angeles. The guy cut in front of me in line and I asked him politely not to and he told me basically where to go so I asked him one more time, he told me where to go so I followed him out to the parking lot and told him I can't believe you did that...whatever...whatever, and he told me where to go once more so I kicked him in the stomach, kneed him in the face and gave him the right hand of death. And then he got up and pulled a knife on me...and I ran [laughs]. But I felt pretty justified about it when it was all over.
