Never cared for Ken Shamrock but after seeing this clip feel I was wrong about him. He deserves all the accolades he has received...seems like a great guy

The guy is the pioneer of MMA. The tito thing, and lawsuit with Diana white put a damper on him publicly. If he had the capital, he'd own the UFC. Man came away with nothing from the fighting (relatively) but still takes care of his fighters like his own kids. Just a great fellow all together and not many people show the respect he deserves.

Ken Shamrock is a legend... A Real One!!! From UFC to WWE, his legacy is cemented. Shamrock Vs. Gracie is one of the greatest UFC rivalries of all time, & Shamrock Vs. The Rock (WMXIV), is one of the greatest matches that WWE produced. My dream matches were always Shamrock Vs. Cormier (UFC), & Shamrock Vs. Angle. (WWE) Shamrock should be in the WWE Hall Of Fame. Long overdue & very underrated as an MMA fighter & as a wrestler. Definitely one of the greatest of all time. Dope interview Vlad!!! Keep them coming!!! Salute!!!! 💯👑☘️

Nobody can argue that the attitude era was the best time of wwe. It was a man’s soap opera. Excellent scripting and storylines that made you want to watch the next week’s raw. Nowadays it’s fallen apart, don’t get me wrong there’s some great talent in wwe nowadays but there will never be another Shamrock,Rock,Stone Cold,HHH, Undertaker,Mankind,Edge and Jericho not to mention the stables of DX, Nation of Domination and The Corporation I can go on and on 😂

💯%. Shamrock will always be “The Worlds Most Dangerous Man” 💪🏻

This man is my hero. I dont watch NFL, NBA, or MLB. I only follow MMA. I've been following MMA since 1994. His younger bother Frank Shamrock is my favorite fighter, followed by Wanderlei Silva. This man fought in UFC 1 when he was 30. His MMA career started at 30, which is the pinnacle of a fighters prime. My Nephew is actually named by a close personal friend who fought Ken Shamrock in 2009. It was the fight that ended up with Ken being suspended for steroids'. I am extremely surprised Ken Shamrock was very articulate in this interview after all the damage he took in his late MMA career.

Living legend. Sorry to hear he had such a rough beginning. Man was my hero in the first few UFC's. Happy to see that he seems to be doing great!!!

This was Ken's best interview. He did great. He's become a good speaker.

At 65, I always enjoyed Shamrock's persona and fights. Much respect, thank you for sharing. Stay safe, great interview mate.

Its great to see Ken’s life story. Talented Person much respect for him.

Ken Shamrock ☘️ is an absolute legend. He’ll always be “The Worlds Most Dangerous Man” which was an accurate description. His style of Catch Wrestling aka “Shoot-fighting” was a skill that had been long forgotten, he kept the catch wrestling tradition alive. With the development of folkstyle & freestyle (which came from catch wrestling) the traditional American & British submission wrestling almost disappeared but was thankfully preserved over in Japan where a great American like Ken could continue the tradition. He was an Amazing athlete & competitor who not only became a star in both Japanese & American pro wrestling & combat sports but had an giant impact on combat sports, grappling/wrestling & fighting. He really was the worlds most Dangerous man! 💪🏻 🇺🇸

man a very honest interview, i loved it, the dudes very humble and chill, was always a fave of mine in ufc, great to see his perspective

Totally agree that Shamrock won the Frye fight at Pride: got out of trouble by his own mean with technical reverse while Frye got saved twice by end of round.

I'm so happy to see someone who I idolized and respected so much one more time. Especially the fact he's looking so healthy still and also that he seems to mentally be in a good place and Happy. He's once again inspired me to be a better man. Thank you Kid Shamrock (CHAMP).

I have so much respect for Ken Shamrock. I had his action figure as a kid. Thank you for this interview.

Thank you for such an exciting time over your career Ken. A fan for life.

So much respect for this legend. It's good to see him doing and looking well.

Ken is a great guest.. he made the art we see today 👊💯💯👊 never know what someone had to go through as a child. Be peaceful people we all have been children!

Absolute Legend. Remember my dad order UFC2 on PPV watching both Ken and Royce. Still a fan to this day.

Damn good interview Vlad, Ken Shamrock is a true legend.

I remember my mom and dad was splitting up and I went to stay with my dad. I always had trouble sleeping and he had this smaaaall tv and the UFC was on TV. Then my dad told me about Ken and that he was a bad ass. Then his ankle lock in the wwf with all that energy. Great times👍

I love the setting and structutre of this interview. I'm a NEW FAN FOR SURE!

Fantastic deep interview of Ken Shamrock here . Ken looks and sounds amazing and is one of the most outstanding combat sport athletes of my lifetime . Such a generous willingness to share his personal insights of his life and career. Also a tribute to Vlad tv channel showing your amazing ability to bring out the best in your guests. You are well prepared ask great questions and most importantly let your guest finish their thoughts and keep the conversation real.

UR THE MAN KEN!!! You and your brother and Don were my favorite of all time. I never missed a second

I heard Ken Shamrock's story and upbringing on Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast. And if you listen closely, I think Steve Austin kinda shed a tear for him. You can hear him sniffing at his story. The way Shamrock described his upbringing was brutal. He DESERVES to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Ken is one of the biggest legends in Mma never gets the credit he deserves a real tough street guy coming from absolutely nothing.

Well done interview man!, you really did your research. Props to you and Ken for his amazing career and accomplishments.

What an awesome interview

Ken Shamrock going to the WWF in 97 was the best thing for the MMA world considering that he brought wrestling fans to the MMA.. Hell once I started watching UFC which was in 98 which was the time I was a Hardcore wrestling fan even though I was watching professional wrestling since the early 80s, however whenever I started watching UFC and saw some of the Shamrock fights, I became a massive fan of Shamrock in both UFC and WWF

Great interview. Shamrock is a well spoken Man.I see him in a different light from this. Big Respect for his Career and the work he does for the Youth.💯🙏🏼👊🏼

Thanks Champ for this Interview!

I've been waiting for this to upload since you put teaser videos out

Ken Shamrock is really an American Treasure. Thank you man.🙏

This is an unbelievable video of Shamrock. I never really knew that he was this great of a person until now seeing this. What a great video. 👏🏻

I think everyone needed to hear this story.

Had a chance to meet him back in the early 2000s. I just waved to him, because he was setting up for one of his fight promotions. Seemed like a down to earth guy. This was in Battle Creek Michigan by the way.

This man is a living legend. I respect him greatly.

Wow man, I was such a fan of his in the early 90s.

Ken Shamrock becoming that cosy grandfather. I love this. 😊

This guy is one of the reasons i got I to mma but his brother was why i stayed, him, royce, frank are some of my first memories of mma

This man was doing mma when it was a no holds barred feee for all.. truley some frightening knockouts back then these days with cte awareness etc its just not the same, the fact shamrock came through it relatively normal is a miracle. Total respect for Shamrock hes a legend 👏

I met this legend in San Diego years ago. He’s very down to earth. Good person.

Love this guy. Great interview.

... He is an absolute legend.. I remember Ken shamrock always being there ever since the sport was in its embryonic stage, and there really were no rules.. I think Ken deserves so much respect just for getting through his youth, and all the shit he went through... All that and then going on to make a successful living as a pro fighter which is something most of the toughest men alive are not able to do... not to mention what he has done for the sport, and how he helped it grow.. Plus he has had other successes along the way... To say he is the worlds most dangerous man is both accurate, and an understatement considering all the hardships and success that he has more than earned and endured...

Great interview, really enjoyed this

God bless you Ken! You got fans all over the world brother! Never forget the 1st Gracie fight I saw him in. Straight legendary.

One of the best Ken Shamrock interviews. He should be in WWE HOF

Great interview.

Great interview, Shamrock is very interesting.

Great interview. So much respect for Ken. Good stuff.

Ken is such a legend. One of the most terrifying fighters I've ever seen in his prime, and a class dude to boot. Thanks for the upload!

Ken is my friend and a great guy. He is a self made success. I spent a lot of personal time with him and it was a pleasure. True real guy and good friend. I always pray for him and wish him the best. Love you my pal,Sammy🙏🏻👊🏻💯❤️

There are some Big gaps with some important stuff left out. But great Interview!! I went to HS and was on the same wrestling team with KS..

I've always been a fan of Ken Shamrock not just for his fighting abilities but because he has always been sincere and devoid of bullsh!t, and drama. Not sure if in some way he adopted this bushido kind of code while training in Japan. He appreciates his wins and makes no excuses about his losses and it's good to hear that he still stays in touch with his former rivals like Royce. Ken Shamrock could have had a lot more "W's" but was unfortunately never 100% and was already mature compared to other fighters in their prime when MMA really started to take off after Y2K. Many people don't realize that his knee was so bad that he could not shoot properly for a dominant position which greatly affected his ability to use his shooto catch wrestling style. But the man still managed to hold his own.

One of the best interviews ever!

I’m sure Ken took some of that childhood anger out on his opponents. A true warrior.

That's so true! VHS at Blockbuster , I was probably 10 years old renting all of them..and when the shut down I still kept a few

What a solid guy. He just oozes good dude vibes. I always like Shamrock. Tough man, solid heart.

I remember being about 12 or 13 years old watching UFC one... And Ken is not kidding, you literally had to go to the adult section to get it... We went there and we tried to go in there to get it but we had to leave and then my Dad or Mom went in and got it for us. Lol. We had to explain to them that it was just fighting. Lol That was almost the coolest night ever. We had WWE and then we had this that came out and we were just like wow. Lol. So cool. Miss you Ken.

Ken Shamrock has always been one of my favorite fighter's. I'm from MACON, GEORGIA like Ken. And i can say as a white boy in a predominantly black neighborhood it was extremely hard upbringing and still to this day it has not changed.

This is your best interview

Ken, Brock, Angle, Blackman. One of a kind dudes. Shamrock is GOAT IDAF💯

Pioneer 1 of the goats 🐐. VHS days were great, made the whole family sit n watch

Yesss ladies and gentlemen 🔥🖤🖤 that’s Mr : Worlds Dangerous man “ ken Shamrock “ What a career sir , what an icon for UFC An absolute Treasure And a great humble guy. My childhood Star 💫 god bless him forever

What a story, holy shit.. This man really went through life. I can definitely relate to the mother/father situation, you truly do need to hear it from both sides before passing judgement.

His first major fight was the rough and tumble in redding ca that he won. We both attended shasta college around "87". The first time i met him was in the weight room. I was a good athlete and had some big guns like him. We had a stare down and i looked away, good decision on my part. At 5'7" i could dunk a basketball, one day we were playing basketball and he stood under the rim and leaped up and grabbed onto it. I was not expecting that from a big guy wearing a knee brace from an injury. He has fast twitch muscle mass (power).

Great interview!!!! Attitude era was awesome!!!

One of the best interviews ever ken tells it so good an vlad asks all the best questions .
