    http://www.mmanews.com/other/Ken-Shamrock-Tank-Abbott-Part-Of-February-Wargods-Card.html

    The reason i ask is because he is Ken Shamrock's opponent at the Wargods event that he is promoting.

    Having done some online research all i see if a very, very out of shape and untalented fighter. Can someone offer me any reason why this is not a handpicked oppoented to get a W on Shamrocks record?

    They will bill the event around Kens appearance rather than the competitiveness of the fight. He'll likely lose to Shamrock and leave those who paid to see Ken going home happy, though you wouldn't know these days given Ken's outings over the last 5-10 years.

    Imagine Tim Sylvia, if he ate even more pies, and never trained.

    Clifton has a loosing record (6-8-0) and no gas tank.
    All he has is fatman power.

    He's huge though, about 6 ft 9 and weighing between 350-400 pds.
    Ken beating him (if!) will look good to the untrained eye.

    Unfair - every fighter goes a little over their competition weight between fights!

    Don't get me wrong, i one of the peopel here who needs to enforce the rules about fighter bashing, but i can find nothing on this guy that implies he will be even close to competitive against Shamrock.

    He has punching power, but absoloutly no gas.
    It will look impressive for Ken though.

    David vs Goliath syndrome.

    Lol - sorry mate, I'm afraid I was taking the pee a bit, which I now realise is fighter bashing. I will stop, though if he did come in ripped he could probably use his skin as a Gi if he knows any good Gi chokes. OK now I'll stop.
