I'm really hoping he can win , it was bad enough seeing Cung Lee beat him before i just hope his experiece pay's of not that Diaz is a newbie .

I mean he comes across as a kn*b head which is a shame cos i think he's a talented fighter he just need's to control his agression . I know a lot of people don't like Frank Shamrock cos he's a bit cocky but he doesn't seen aggresive with it , Ken on the other hand ...
Cristiane Santos vs. Hitomi Akano Good to see some women on the card i hope it's a good match .
 
I'm pretty sure the sensors aren't going to pick up on knob head, lol (had to look that up, lol...i thought u were writing knob).

I tend heavily towards not liking cocky people, but Ken is still my favorite fighter ever. He has nothing to be cocky about lately. Hopefully the Ken/Frank fight will come to fruition. Seems like Diaz is the cocky one according to that video.

Do you think the Ken vs Frank fight will ever happen ? I'd love to see it although i'd find it painfull to watch , fan of both but Frank has the edge for me .
Who do you think would win if it does happen ?
