Meeting Ken Shamrock And Houston Alexander

by Jeremy Schoemaker on August 18, 2007 · 63 comments

Went to Max Muscle today in Lincoln Nebraska where they had 2 UFC fighters – UFC hall of famer – Ken Shamrock and Omaha’s own Houston Alexander (who made Keith Jardine his bitch at UFC 71). I pinged my boy over at ufcjunkie.com to see if he could do some introductions before we showed up and he came through as always cause Houston was like hey man whats up when he recognized my logo.

We talked with both these UFC stars and when I get back from San Jose we are going to go up and hang out with Houston Alexander. He invited us to come up and train with him for a day.

Ken Shamrock was kind of a dick but Houston Alexander was fricking such a super nice guy. I look forward to getting to know him better.

Acutally Ken Shamrock came off just like he came off on the TUF TV show. Just that he demands respect and that you kiss his ass. I have met many ufc guys and this guy was by far the biggest jerkoff.

They look alot smaller in the ring on tv, those guys are huge.

17 TeeCeo August 18, 2007 at 7:16 pm

Must be nice. I keep getting the feeling that one day they will talk YOU (SHOEMONEY) into getting into the ring with someone you hate in a cool little match, is this to be anytime soon? Heck, its not like you don’t have so many haters out there to chose from. lol.

Ahh okay, shame about the attitude problem then. Suppose its probably quite hard acting like he does when wrestling then going back to being a normal person

Heh yes many haters who hide behind their keyboards. I have yet to ever have words 1 time with someone at a conference. Its amazing when people meet you in real life how different they are then online.

Shamrock is one of the coolest guys ever.

25 Nocturnal August 18, 2007 at 8:01 pm

Did any of the fighters or even the guy from UFCJunkie ever tell you that you look a lot like Marc Laimon from Cobra Kai Jiu-Jitsu over in Vegas? He has a smaller frame but you guys could possibly pass for brothers.

Ken Shamrock is a bad @$$ fighter.

27 Mason August 18, 2007 at 8:21 pm

wow you meet so many famous people… didn’t you say you were going to do something business related with another ufc guy?

Reply

28 Ruck August 18, 2007 at 9:37 pm

WOW!,

Nice photos of all the UFC fighters man. Looks like we are both big into it. To bad that wasn’t Frank instead of Ken. LOL…I wish I got to go to more than the 2 events I have been too. Oh well, can always come here and catch up.

Wish I would have known they were in Nebraska. I would have been there in less than half a day. Southeast Kansas. Anyway, it’s refreshing to know that with all the success you have, you go out and spend time doing fun stuff.

I just went fulltime from home in November 2006, so I am still in the freaked out stage where I feel the need to be at my keyboards 24/7. Thanks for all the inspiration dude. If all the haters pull their heads out of their ass and realize you have no obligations to respond to them, they might value your responses more. Some people are unteachable though.

Best,
Ruck

Hahaha, you got the hookups Shoe.

And re Shamrock calling Shamrock a dick, you got some balls too!

33 Blackbeard August 18, 2007 at 10:40 pm

Shoe, most people know Ken Shamrock from his days as a WWF/WWE wrestler, not his UFC fighting. I still remember him in UFC 1. He was never a very humble guy, but at one point he was an amazing UFC fighter.

34 Click Input August 18, 2007 at 10:41 pm

I think that was Matt Hughes?

35 JB August 18, 2007 at 11:04 pm

Your title should be Meeting Houston Alexander And Ken Shamrock. Not the other way around, why are you giving the dick’s name first.. Was it subconcious? Put the black guys name first show some respect.

Ahh apologies, I didn’t realise he had changed sports. Only ever remember him from the WWF days, as Blackbeard said.

Shoe,

just wanted to introduce myself. i’m a regular reader of your blog and hope you keep it up. you’re definitely an inspirational figure.

that being said…i’m freakin jealous of your ufc perks. i think it remains to be seen how good houston really is. i always felt the dean of mean was a bit overratted and that liddell will run right through him. regardless, i’m jealous you met him. not so much on the shamrock part. hehe

You should have challenged them to a match in a giant bowl of pudding. That would get their respect.

I grew up doing martial arts so I love watching the UFC..but fighters are a whole different breed of people. they are 1) real humble 2) 100% jackass

Hey Shoe, how tall are you – appears you have height advantage over the two boyz! As for the xlarge shirts you request for t-shirt fridays, why not go for the large – you’re in great shape dude, the xlarge looks way to baggy!
If you’re a betting man, who’s going to win on saturday – your boy Josh or GSP?

and wtf is going on remembering him from WWF? holy crap I must be getting old, I remember him leaving MMA to do WWF for a while, then he came back to MMA.

he didn’t “switch sports” from WWF to MMA lol…he has always been MMA :)
