Ryan Shamrock's Opponent Named

The following excerpt was reported on www.mmaweekly.com.

Cage Rage on Monday announced that Ryan Shamrock, son of Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Ken Shamrock, will face Giorgio Andrews on its March 8 event at Wembley Arena in London.

Ryan made his debut on his father’s show, Fight at the Falls, defeating Josh Besneatte with a choke in the first round. That is his only professional experience at this point in his career.

His opponent is a Cage Rage Contenders veteran. Andrews has won both of his professional bouts by TKO in the first round. Contenders acts as a developmental show for Cage Rage.

Ryan and Ken Shamrock both signed with EliteXC recently and are both scheduled to fight on the March 8 event. Ken faces Robert Berry in the main event, which is expected to air on the Showtime network in the United States.

ProElite, the parent company of EliteXC, also owns and operates Cage Rage.

Now for my portion. I'm thinking that Ryan Shamrock will be more in demand than his father Ken. I still don't see how he got a main event bout with EliteXC. It does show where they stand in terms of talent against other organizations.
