Would you guys have given Ken in his prime a good chance against a prime Tito?
no
NO
No.
Not even close
I doubt Ken Shamrock in his prime was good enough to audition for TUF.
No, he wasn't that great in his prime. Tito can take him down at will and let the pounding begin just like in their other 3 fights.
I dont know guys.
Shamrock was a tank when he first fought Severn. He also looked really good against Fujita before his heart exploded.
I say shammy wins in their primes.
Dont forget that in their first fight Ken dropped Tito and Tito had a hard time putting him away. Shamrock was old and waaaaaaay past his prime then.
It would have been back and forth battle, not one sided for either fighter.
^^ True but that was not in Tito's "prime"
Bill Pharoni - I doubt Ken Shamrock in his prime was good enough to audition for TUF.
Right. In that case then I guess Bas, Kimo, Royce all couldn't have made TUF either?
jeremy hamilton -Bill Pharoni - I doubt Ken Shamrock in his prime was good enough to audition for TUF.

Well no.. it was an exaggeration. I think it's obvious that plenty of no-talents find their way on to TUF.
Ken Shamrock was a pioneer in the sport, but was never a great fighter in comparison to today's top contenders. Add Bas, Kimo and Royce to the list as well.
Tito more than held his own against several of today's top contenders.
Yes
Tito beat the crap out of Guy in what was his second fight ever. It has been a while since I have seen that fight so correct me if I am wrong but didn't they stand that fight up to check a cut and with the rules back then the fight just started on their feet and Tito got caught in a choke on the shot. That was way before Tito's prime.
