Frank Shamrock Not Impressed With Cung Le, Could Fight Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz

Frank Shamrock is 35 years old and clearly past his prime as a fighter, but in this interview with MMA Rated, he makes clear that he's got plenty of fights left in him:

Shamrock said he expects his next fight to be in October against the winner of this month's EliteXC Scott Smith-Robbie Lawler rematch. But he then detailed a long plan in which he said he'll keep fighting into 2009, 2010 and perhaps beyond.


Shamrock said that he'd like to have a rematch with Cung Le, but he expressed frustration that he'll have to be the one who does the bulk of the promoting for that fight.

"The problem with Cung is he's not a good promoter -- people don't know who he is," Shamrock said. "Cung is a good martial artist. He's not very good in front of the camera."

And then Shamrock added that he expects that he'll eventually fight his adopted brother Ken Shamrock, and that he'll have a rematch with Tito Ortiz, even though he has no idea who will promote it.

"The deal is progressing nicely," Shamrock said of a potential Ortiz fight. "We don't really have a company for it yet. EliteXC is making a good bid for it."

Even though Shamrock is past his prime, fights with the Lawler-Smith winner, Le, Ortiz and his brother would all be big ones. We'll be hearing a lot from Frank Shamrock.
