I was scheduled to fight in November of 2008 in a kickboxing show called XMA. There were some controversies that happened between my management team as well as some of the promoters as far as setting up the fights. There was some talk of Ken Shamrock but nobody else had talked to Ken about it as far as the promoting.
Shawn TompkinsHe does a great job of it and keeps the sport entertaining and even my mom loves to listen to Joe Rogan when the fights are on so that tells you right there that he does something for the new fans of the sport that nobody else could.
Shawn TompkinsI think Frank Mir was 100 percent underestimated and I'm really happy to see the result because I think we needed it in the heavyweight division.
Shawn TompkinsI follow K-1 closely and also train Ray Sefo. My heart is with K-1 and I love the sport of standup kickboxing.
Shawn TompkinsThere's a lot of great strikers in the business but no one should ever forget about Chuck Liddell.
Shawn TompkinsI'm proud of them and I am happy to see that the Frank Mir that we all wanted to see back in the day is truly here and I think he's here to say. I have a really good friend in his trainer, Ken Hahn at Striking Unlimited and I'm glad that they're getting the respect that they deserve now.
