Thank you for your interest and criticism. The injury to my sternum occured in the first round from a roundhouse kick, however it wasn't until the knee in the second round that I felt it was appropriate to bring it to the attention of the referee, as I thought that the doctor should look at it before the fight continued, fearing permenant injury. The referee however ignored me completely as did my corner and the doctor in between rounds, the only people who seemed to care were Tito and Kendall. The injury I suffered was a costo-chondral seperation, as two of my ribs were torn off of the catilage of my sternum one more severley than the other, and it will never be the same as bone and cartilage do not grow back together so easily. Most people are unfamilliar with this type of injury, which takes longer to heal than broken ribs. For two weeks I could not sleep on my sides and it took approximately 10 weeks before I could do a single sit-up. It was extremely disappointing to see Ken Shamrock attack my character like he did, and to have him ignore me after the fight, one would think that he would give me the benefit of the doubt until some contradictory evidence presented itself. Forming opinions and making assertions with little or no evidence however is what made Ken into the great genius we see today and we should not expect this to change any time soon. I like Kendall and none of this should take away from his win, I still talk to him and wish him the best.

Thank you. I'll be fighting on the 24th of June. Training with Colin Daynes(96 Olympic Team for Greco Roman Wrestling) and Kultar "The Black Mamba" Gill(Superbrawl Champion, K-1 vetern). Was in Las Vegas training with Forrest at the Xzience center, a great guy who went out of his way to accomadate me. He is a 230-240lb machine, and I left depressed with two black eyes. My training has been hampered by the injury, which forced me to take 10 weeks off but I'm working hard and I have great people around me. Thanks to those who have continued to support me through my recovery and training, see you soon.

I have two questions for you. 1. what weight do you think would be best for you in UFC? I think perhaps dropping down to the next weight class may benefit you.
2. what would/could have been the longterm damaging effects of the injury you suffered in your match with Kendall?

1 I think middleweight is good for now I have a hard time making 185 so 170 would kill me.
2 My cartilage is permanently damaged.

Ken does excellent circuit training on the weights, the best I've ever had. We did it once in seven weeks.

Dan was a very nice guy.

Roman was an excellent boxing coach.

We had no wrestling or jiu-jitsu training to speak of. Ed and I taught Soloman, Tait, Mike, Jesse etc. at the gym and in our spare time at home on the carpet. We were only allowed to train at designated times, which was absolute crap if you ask me. I came there in excellent shape and left in the worst shape I've been in in years, this is not an excuse for my loss by the way, I was beaten fairly, it's just a fact. In the seven weeks prior to my semifinal fight I had about two weeks worth of good training. Ken stopped me from training with Ed, my best sparring partner, because he thought we may end up fighting later on. Every day going to the the gym was a disappointment and I did not want to be there at all, which is not the way I am usually.

I would love to however I'm training for my fight on the 24th and then I'll be helping Kultar Gill prepare for the K-1 heroes tournament. If your interested in scheduling a seminar contact Epic management or Revolution Fight Team. Thanks for your interest.

Nice, "Great Genius" Kalib PWNED Ken! Sucks he really had to be injured to be right though.

[JOECALIFORNIA]

Get the hell outta here Starnes

[Euph662]

Shamrock messed up alot of those fighters.

[ModernWarrior]

To think everyone was calling him a pussy when he had a serious injury.

[MCscratchNsniff]

It was a hell of a fight. That was funny how Kalib talked about Ken though.

[zigzzagz]

I had no idea the training was so poor and so seldom done. I thought they were there specifically to train. You'd think they'd be at it every day all day. I wonder. Maybe not Kalib?

Every day going to the the gym was a disappointment and I did not want to be there at all, which is not the way I am usually. From Kalib.

Looks to me like he contradicted himself. Did he really give it his all? Or did his attitude about going to the gym hurt him in the end. You get in return what you put into it. He made sure he had those damn sunglasses all the time.

Everyone wants to blame someone or something for their shortcomings whatever they may be.

I would like to see how many times Ken and some of the other true warriors have been cut open to repair damage inflicted upon them.

Ken Shamrock has been around the fight game a long time. There is a reason why....he has fought in many orgs and just because his best fighting years are behind him does not mean he can't coach.

Sometimes people will not buy into what coaches are trying to coach.

So, all you bashers of Ken keep piling on. Most of you bashers of Ken and other fighters would wet all over yourselves to meet and have your pic taken with them.

Get over yourselves.

I remember Kalib and Tait hating Ken's training camp from the beginning.

It's a shame the UFC didn't let them roll at the house or whenever they wanted.

You figure all of them are sequestered in Vegas for 6 weeks away from them families, jobs, and training centers/gyms, that the UFC wanted competitive fighters that were in gladiator mode, eating, living, and shitting MMA, JJ, Boxing, MT, whatever combat instead of the drama BS on the show.

It's shame Ken dissed Kalib after the fight and Kalib is using Internet forumsand that radio show conversation he had to get some credibility back.

No, I'm not Starnes. Just another Asian with a bad attitude on the forums. ;) STFU

You don't mess up fighters in 7 weeks time.....and in the total time they trained.
