MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT - Frank Shamrock (21-7-1) vs. Renzo Gracie (12-6-1):
-Larry's Pre-Fight Prediction: Renzo Gracie (RD 2 Submission)
-The Fight: Gracie is coming off strong wins over Carlos Newton and Pat Miletich in the last year, which is why I think he'll make the upset here. Of course, I am wrong a lot.
ROUND ONE: Here we go with the main event. Shamrock with a combo and leg kick to start. Another combo by Shamrock lands. A leg kick and they clinch. Shamrock with shots and a knee by Gracie. Take down by Gracie. Shamrock with rights from the bottom. Side control by Gracie, Shamrock kicks off the cage and Gracie still with side control. Shamrock with knees from the bottom, Shamrock doing a lot of work from the bottom. They get stood up. Leg kicks by Shamrock. Gracie shoot sin and eats a right and a knee. Leg kicks by Shamrock again. Gracie shoots in, take down and top control. Side control by Gracie, Shamrock with hard knees from the bottom again. Gracie with top control, good work as Shamrock keeps landing shots and fighting from the bottom as round one ends.
LARRY'S SCORE CARD: Gracie seemingly had control, but Shamrock was constantly striking with knees and rights from the bottom. It was a rare instance of the bottom position having a lot of offense, but I will go Gracie 10-9.
ROUND TWO: Leg kick by Shamrock to start the round. Gracie shoots in, but Shamrock shoves him away. Gracie gets the take down now, Shamrock is seated though and Gracie gets side control. More knees by Shamrock. Shamrock tries to work off the cage and gets a knee to the head. Dean breaks them up as Gracie is down. Not sure what happened there. Gracie is hurt and dazed. Herb Dean takes a point from Shamrock as the trainer checks on Gracie. He has 5-minutes to recover. Apparently it was a knee to the back of the neck that caused it, which is illegal. Shamrock talks shit to the announcers. Gracie looks out of it as he talks to the trainer. He has to hold onto the cage to stand. Shamrock dances and plays to the crowd. EMS is now checking on Gracie and they are putting a neck brace on him, I guess this is over now. Goldberg speculates that it is a concussion. Gracie is being helped from the cage and to the back to be further looked at.
Herb Dean, the announcer and the Commissioner discuss what the call is. Looks like a DQ on Shamrock.
OFFICIAL DECISION: 2:00 of Round Two. Intentional Foul, Renzo Gracie Wins.
***Personal Enjoyment Index: (1-10) N/A.
-Glazer is with Shamrock. He says he came to fight, and that is what he was doing. He know she hit him in the head, but he thought Renzo would move. He does what he does to win, and he is sorry to hurt him. He says he was just fighting. He says he barely hit the guy and Renzo took the foul and the win. Herb Dean is here and says early on there was a blow to the head, he warned Shamrock. He won't say it was malicious, but you lose some credibility when it happens again. Renzo's manager is there. He says there are rules, and this isn't a bar fight. There is no kneeing the head and when that happens, the rules say DQ. Shamrock says he would rematch, because he wasn't even sweating. He's sorry, he'll take the loss, but will keep doing what he does. Renzo is on his way to the hospital and has a concussion. His manager feels Renzo won the first round. Shamrock says he should go to a rules meeting. He followed his strategy but he apparently broke the new rules. He says it sucks and he disappointed the fans, but the controversy and rivalry goes on. If they want to quit like that, oh well. Shamrock thinks he pussed out.
-Mauro and Goldberg say it is a disappointing end to the a great night. Goldberg says Herb did his job and the rules are the rules. They look at the replay again continue to discuss the situation. Goldberg thinks Dean should have jumped in a bit earlier and it is unfortunate.
-Glazer is with the Gracie camp. He does have a concussion and he is going to the hospital as we speak.
-They run down the results.
-We see Renzo being taken to the hospital.
