CULVER CITY, Calif. -- Ken Shamrock has wanted a third fight with Royce Gracie for going on two decades now. Gracie won the first at UFC 1 in 1993 and the second was a 30-minute draw at UFC 5 in 1995.
Shamrock has always wanted revenge. Gracie has been ambivalent.
Now, though, the fight is on. Gracie vs. Shamrock will happen in the main event of Bellator 149 on Feb. 19 in Houston. Shamrock believes he knows why: because Gracie thinks Shamrock is ripe for the plucking after a loss in June to Kimbo Slice.
