Frank Shamrock vs Phil Baroni

Frank Shamrock is an all-time great. He had no knees left at that point. Tragically shortened his prime years.

he said ken tore his knees at his lions den try-out, and despite surgeruies, they were never the same again.

That’s why I always disliked the so-called “old school” toughness initial tests. Sure, you can prove your mettle and earn respect. But, you could also get concussions, lasting injuries, etc. So dumb. We come to get better, not get destroyed.

You can easily test out fortitude of somebody as times goes on, and fairly quickly at that. It’s just a form of cheap sadism. It was frequent in many military units too.
