Ken Shamrock Looks More Ripped Than Ever In New Training Photo

Former WWE superstar and UFC champion Ken Shamrock has the internet buzzing after posting for a photo of himself taken after a recent workout in preparation for his upcoming Bellator MMA bout against YouTube star Kimbo Slice later this month. The bout takes place on July 19th, and is the headlining fight of Bellator 138. Shamrock, 51, hasn't fought professionally in a mixed martial arts bout in roughly five years, with his last showing being a loss in November 2010 at a King of the Cage event. With promotion for the Bellator fight in full swing, Shamrock posted the following to Twitter: https://twitter.com/ShamrockKen/status/608124635197149184 The post immediately got a large response with hundreds of reblogs and likes, and took off on MMA websites with even the mainstream media getting in on the act. Why? Well, at 51, Shamrock appears to be in better shape than he has ever been - and that has some tongues wagging. Leading into the Bellator 138 fight, it was stated that both Shamrock and Slice would be required to pass out-of-competition drug tests, at least according to Missouri Office of Athletics director Tim Lueckenhoff. That testing (the extent of which has yet to be confirmed) hasn't stopped speculation that Shamrock's physique is a little too good to be natural at this point, which isn't helped by the fact that the former champ failed a drug test in 2009 and was punished with a one-year suspension. However, barring any sudden turn of events or late injuries, the two men will meet in the cage in just over a week.
