I've been trying to find this MMA trivia fight for madd long. I vaguely remembered a Ken Shamrock fight where he beat the hell out of a guy in PRIDE but wound up tapping out because he was having heart attack. It had been so long since I'd seen it that for some reason I thought it was Cabbage that got this dub. And then the "heart attack" was later confirmed as "bad heart palpitations" which meant the "TKO by Heart attack" was removed from listings on places like wikipedia.

So for years I couldn't figure out if I'd imagined this ish. I was sure it Ken Shamrock and thought he was fighting Cabbage; I was sure he had a heart attack...and today, I stumbled on the actual fight.

Bellator show was :ld:for the most part. Card on the 7th should be better, but I haven't been really excited about the promotion in awhile.

Igor was one of my fav fighters back in the day. Dude was always exciting to watch. One of the smaller heavyweights but dude had sledgehammer hands:wow:
its odd he was the smallest hw but likely the hardest hitter. Compact all that weight in a small frame you get nukes

Man fukk Dan Hardy, he ain't the health and safety advisor of the UFC. Was the stoppages late to a degree? Yes nobody arguing that but to go out of your way to confront herb dean live during a boradcast you're working is unprofessional, it even distracted Fielder from doing his work and made a situation awkward to work around for a brief time.
