Royce Gracie: Ken Shamrock’s alleged steroid use ‘made no difference’ at Bellator 149

Royce Gracie returned to action almost nine years after his last MMA fight, scoring a TKO win over longtime rival Ken Shamrock at Bellator 149. Weeks after the contest in Texas, Shamrock took another hit when his drug test came back positive for nandrolone and methadone, and also for an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio.

Gracie, who improved to 15-2-3 as a mixed martial artist and 2-0-1 against Shamrock, wasn’t shocked when he found out that his rival failed another drug test. In fact, he didn’t even seem to care.

"I don’t think too much about it," Gracie told MMA Fighting.
