KEN SHAMROCK QUOTES:
“Competition. The minute you stop, your whole life changes and it’s the thrill of competition that has kept me going. When you’re done as an athlete, you have to know it, and I don’t know it yet.

“There were a couple of times when I had injuries — one to my knee, one to my shoulder — when I thought I would be forced to quit. But rehab got me stronger and stronger every time. I have never imagined myself retiring.

“It’s an honor to be considered a pioneer in this sport. And it is inspiring to see these young guys coming up to carry the torch.”

BUZZ BERRY QUOTES:

“I have a lot of respect for Ken Shamrock, but when it is fight time and the first bell rings, it’s time to explode. I have to stay within myself; my strength is that I am an all around fighter and my power is my (main) strength.”
