Scouting Report: Prime Frank Shamrock

Born: Dec. 8, 1972 (Age: 49) in Santa Monica, California
Division: Middleweight/Light Heavyweight
Height: 5’10”
Reach: 71”
Record: 23-10-2
Association: The Alliance

Summary: During his prime, which occurred when Shamrock ditched the Lion’s Den and formed The Alliance with Maurice Smith and Tsuyoshi Kosaka, he was way ahead of his time. His stance, movement and defense all resembled that of a fighter a decade later. He had some wrestling ability—though it was hampered by knee injuries—and great submissions for his day, along with good striking for the era, a time when few guys were even remotely well-rounded.
