His opponent was supposed to be announced today but it was pushed back another 24 hours, it seems that Brian Pardoe is the probable opponent. I dont see why there having such a hard time finding an opponent for him, this would be an excellent oportunity for any young fighter. They need to hurry though because the fight is on March 27th......

Agreed...I would have guessed guys would be jumping at the chance to make a name for themselves.

It didn't hurt Jeremy Horns career any. In fact, his loss(but good showing) to Frank was probably his big break.

The way I see it they have nothing to lose by fighting Frank, if they get there ass kicked, well everyone already expects that, if they do well but still lose it can help there career, and if they beat him, it will probably open alot of doors......

Except Jeremy Horn was already a skilled and arguably established ighter when he fought Shamrock. Of course he didn't have ny previous fights w/ top competitors. I don't even know how many fights he had, but he had a lot of trainging in JJ and was trainging w/ Miletich. A lot of guys out there could really use a win to elevate them up. Frank Shamrock or not a loss is a loss and this sport doesn't pay that great. Sure if it were the UFC or Pride, even KOTC or Shooto, but a smaller organization such as this really doesn't boost a career. Still TTT for anyone willing to stp up tot he challenge.

Frank Shamrock used to be my favorite fighter, but I just don't think he has it anymore. He'll beat a couple of nobodies and then lose. He looked like **** agsainst a limited Elvis Sinosic. It's just not the same UFC anymore. I hope I'm wrong, but I almost never am.

I read that this morning. Apparently he is fighting at his heaviest weight ever. I wonder how that will affect him.
