Part III wasn’t something anyone expected, or wanted, to see when Shamrocks is 52 and Gracie is 49, but it happened Friday at Bellator 149.
The trilogy didn’t last long, but did end controversially. It’s not shown in the clip below, but Shamrock caught a knee to the groin. The referee didn’t see it and wasn’t able to step in to give Shamrock time to recover from the illegal strike.
Shamrock then took another knee to the head and Gracie dragged him to the mat. That’s when Shamrock started reaching for his groin in agony while Garcie was unloading punches to his face.
