"The Legend" is a big fan of "Notorious," and the career path the brash UFC featherweight champion is carving out for himself.
Retired mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Frank Shamrock was truly the first athlete in the sport to understand his value and leverage, and command a hugely profitable payday for himself.
After defeating Tito Ortiz at UFC 22 in September of 1999, and defending the light heavyweight title for the fourth consecutive time, "The Legend" walked away after a 5-0 run, relinquishing his belt and retiring from the promotion.
After a kickboxing match in 2000, Shamrock would return to MMA in 2003 and defeat Bryan Pardoe at WEC 6 to win the light heavyweight title.
