Jared Shaw Accuses Frank Shamrock of Offering to Fix Fight Against Kimbo Slice

Even in death, EliteXC manages to churn out controversy. In a recent interview with Sherdog's Jeff Sherwood, former EliteXC matchmaker, Jared Shaw gave his side of the story on all things EliteXC.

The most interesting portion of the interview came when the son of Gary Shaw spoke about the infamous events that led up to Kimbo Slice's knockout defeat to Seth Petruzelli.

Transcribed by Cage Potato:

I don’t really have a tell-all book. I don’t want to make any more money in MMA. I don’t really care what happens in my name. There was nothing fixed about that fight. I could give two shits if it went to the ground. Ken Shamrock was going to go to the ground. I was scared of this guy’s (Petruzelli's) K-1 legs. There was no fix, but there was an offer of a fix that night.

Should I get some police protection after this….no, just kidding.

Frank Shamrock pulled me in the back of a room, turned the music up and offered to work the fight against Kimbo Slice. I almost threw up in my own stomach because I had thought for the past six months prior to that that he and Cung Le had fixed their own fight unbeknownst to me again, because I just can’t understand why Frank Shamrock didn’t go to the ground against Cung Le. I really don’t. I still don’t, but then my stomach made me throw up in my own mouth and I had to swallow it. I was like, ‘Uh, Frank, I don’t fix fights.’ And he was like, I’ll make up for my brother and…’ I was like, ‘Yo. Are you not hearing me? I don’t do that.’ Sure enough, what’s karma? I get accused of fixing a fight right after.

Who knows what kind of shit storm Ol' $kala's comments are going to kick up but the thing that puzzles me most out of them is, how in the hell does one throw up in their own stomach?

The rest of the interview is very entertaining, even if you do think it is all lies and nonsense.

Update: Frank Shamrock responds via MMA Fighting:

"No, absolutely not," Shamrock said Monday on The MMA Hour, when asked by host Ariel Helwani about Shaw's claim. "That's some movie b.s. right there."
...
Shamrock says he doesn't know why Shaw would make such a statement, but reasons Shaw's career in MMA is over and he's looking for a way to make money.

"It sounds like he's trying to sell a book or something, or write a movie script," said Shamrock before asking: "Where would I get the music at? What are you talking about here? Do I just carry a beatbox with me?"

Shamrock says he would have never "fiddled with the truth." Fighting is for himself, his art and making money.

"Nothing else makes sense," he says.
