Shamrock vs. Shamrock Signed For Early 2009?

From ESPN.com:

There are plenty of particulars to iron out, like the date (probably sometime in April), the venue (none has been chosen) and the promotional and broadcast partners to be involved (Elite XC, CBS, and Showtime, with perhaps some other co-promoters), before what is believed to be the first brother vs. brother faceoff in fight history becomes a 100 percent done deal.

"We've both signed a contract to fight each other," younger brother Frank Shamrock told ESPN.com. "Ken is down with it. We talked about it two years ago, and we've agreed materially to fight."

"Will the fight happen? Absolutely," Ken Shamrock told ESPN.com. "He's got a buttkicking coming to him. Everything I've learned, everything I have bottled up in me, is going to come out on him. I've still got love for Frank, but I'm angry at him."

I knew this was bound to happen -- it had to. The only thing is it's happening ten years too late. While Frank is still a formidable fighter, Ken has been washed up for years. While I really don't want to see this, I know I will watch it. It's like watching a train wreck: you know you should turn away but you just can't stop yourself from looking.

I would have to imagine this would take place at 205 lbs. Frank has been fighting as a middleweight for a while and Ken for the most part as a light heavyweight. Ken weighed in at 206 1/4lbs for his ill-fated match-up against Kimbo Slice.

Oh well this will be nothing more than another EliteXC spectacle, which means another black eye for the sport -- what a freakin' shame.
