Frank Shamrock Cleared To Fight.

Frank Shamrock’s last fight was easily a contender for fight of the year, as he and opponent Cung Le put on a striking show which mma fans in and out of the arena enjoyed. Unfortunately Shamrock broke his arm and was unable to continue after the third round intermission, and as a result had to have surgery to help fix the damage.
