There’s something tragic in seeing the footage of Ken Shamrock living in an RV without running water leading up to a fight with a guy who has gold teeth. But, then again, much of the fight game’s charm comes from such extremes. Shamrock, who is 51 years old, isn’t just some old husk. He was a somebody. A pioneer in these mixed-up disciplines. A legend. The thought of passing headlights playing across his face as he sleeps reminds me of Bukowski’s 31-word poem, "Oh, Yes."
…And there’s nothing worse than too late.
