Ken Shamrock vs. Robert Berry at Cage Rage 25

[NWOWolfpack]

UFC hall-of-famer Ken Shamrock (26-12-2), who recently inked a deal with Elite Xtreme Combat the same day his 19-year-old son Ryan signed, will take on Robert Berry (11-7) at Cage Rage 25 in March.

The announcement was made by Cage Rage at http://www.cagerage.tv. The U.K.-based fight promotion was recently acquired by Pro Elite, Inc., which is EliteXC’s parent company.

“EliteXC Presents: Cage Rage 25 — Bring It On!” takes place March 8 at Wembley Arena in London, England. The Shamrock-Berry fight will likely earn main-event status.

Berry, a seven-year professional, fights out of England and has spent most of his career with Cage Rage. Oddly, in 18 professional fights, only one — his very first fight — lasted more than one round. Seven of the heavyweight’s 11 victories have come via knockout.

Berry has lost three of his past four fights, and four of his past six.

Shamrock, one of the first inductees into the UFC Hall of Fame, has been fighting professionally for nearly 14 years and competed in the very first UFC event. The submission specialist left the UFC for six years but ultimately returned to fight nemesis Tito Ortiz and to coach a team on “The Ultimate Fighter 3” in 2006. He’s since severed ties with the UFC, and in an explosive interview with MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) back in October, he claimed that UFC President Dana White forced him into retirement and that he never intended to quit fighting.

Ryan Shamrock (1-0) is also slated to fight on the March 8 card, though the bantamweight’s opponent has not yet been named.

This will be interesting and will definitely help gauge where he stands after obviously being out-done by Tito.

BERRY DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MUCH OF A TEST BUT O'WELL

Well Ken's current level is questionable. Berry has experience against quality guys (though he's lost to the best of them)... if he beats Ken then we know Shammy has dropped a lot... if Ken wins then he may still be a solid fighter.

New info is that Showtime is going to air this event, which will be cool :)

^^^ Apparently Cage Rage signed some deal for 2 to 3 events per year with Showtime which is cool!!
