Royce Gracie wasn’t expecting to compete in a pro fight again. But when Bellator presented the opportunity to face Ken Shamrock a third time, Gracie said he couldn’t resist.
“I played a little hard to get, but for sure I knew we had to do the third fight with Ken; there was no doubt,” Gracie told MMAjunkie. “He still insisted on fighting me. I guess the guy cannot sleep for 22 years. He wanted a rematch after I choked him out and embarrassed him and made him tap.
“I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t party. I live a very healthy lifestyle. I think the Royce today would have beat the Royce from 22 years ago. I don’t think it’s the same thing for him. I think the Ken Shamrock today would lose to the Ken Shamrock from 22 years ago.”
