Prior to his Elite XC main event fight with Kimbo Slice, MMA legend Ken Shamrock sat down with ESPN Radio in Florida to give a candid interview on his upcoming fight, his career, and his current relationship with his family.

When asked about why was he so talented at promoting his fights, Shamrock responded:

“That’s just me, that’s my character. I find something that irritates me about somebody and I try to dig on them about it. I guess that generates into some good viewing, but it gets me ready for a fight.”

Shamrock went on to add that his training and preparation for this fight have been good, and for the first time in four or five years he will enter the octagon without being hampered by a lingering injury. Shamrock understands he cannot take Slice’s punching ability for granted, because if he gets lazy in his defense it will a short evening for him. Coverage of the Elite XC card begins at 9 PM Saturday on CBS.
