I had lunch with Frank and his dad once in Birmingham before a MMA event. He was a complete gentleman on that day. I was happy to met him and always pulled for him to win. We all go through bad times that we are not proud of, not everyone sees the error of their ways. I have a lot of respect for Frank.
Legends aren’t perfect. They are human too. Frank knows he made mistakes and those mistakes haunt him. But he always survives and rises above it all! Like a true legend.
Frank is The Man! Never have regrets! Only grace & gratitude for your life lessons. You can't save everyone, not even your own family. Everyone has to WANT to be Helped and Begin by helping themselves, not expect a hand out. You gotta rise up on your own! At the end of the day... God already has tomorrow planned 👍

My God, that got inside me and brought me to tears. This was something I'll never forget. It takes an enormous amount of courage to face demons, but even more to face Ken Shamrock. LoL My hat comes off to Frank for striving more toward manhood by seeking to resolve his past. It's great that Ken was man enough to hear him out, to accept his apology and to apologize himself. Remember Ken, the world adheres to no man's principles. Each of us is an individual with our own sets of values, beliefs, fears, goals, dreams, desires, etc. You can't expect Frank to act or react the way you would. Frank is Frank and you are you. This was medicinal to watch. Thank you, Frank.
Frank. I looked up to you as one the Greatest fighters ever. But, I looked up to you even more as a human being. You're a Warrior in and out side of the ring. God-bless You and you're family.
Frank was the first fighter I saw as a serious technician. Massive heart and talent. Ken and Frankie are both great fighters, but Frankie was the benchmark, in my eyes at least.
" I'm not a fighter, I am human! " No complaints here for this awesome video. Thank you for uploading it, because I missed it when it came on TV due to being in prison from 1994 to 2015. What was so touching for me, and I'm sure this video touched a lot of people in many different ways, was how parallel Frank's and my life were. Instead of having an older brother or an adoptive father, I had a maternal grandfather that loved me unconditionally and was a legend in Baltimore's La Cosa Nostra. However, he groomed me and raised me to be a good man and not a criminal, and I had a younger brother that was the most talented artist I have ever known in my life. I once read an article that my brother was interviewed in and he was giving me respects in reference to street art, something I turned him onto as really little kids. I didn't deserve the credit, he was the one with the natural ability, but he was genuine in paying his respects to me for that. I never really knew the full story as to why these two adopted Brothers were so angry at one another, and I am appreciative to know why now. This story had me in tears quite a few times. This is definitely a great story for people to see who had familial problems in the past or currently, whether they are into MMA or not. Again, thanks for the video upload and ciao Fratello, from Baltimore Maryland. By the way, my grandfather died 18 years ago while I was incarcerated, and my brother still resents me for things I did as a child and as a young adult that caused grief to my mother, like prison and the possibility of me getting killed in these streets. I've reached out to him many times since I have been home, and I'm hoping as Ken Shamrock did, he one day forgives me and we can be a family again. Famiglia Siempre!
Frank Shamrock is the best to Ever do it. Never saw such natural aggression and fight iQ. He was so comfortable when fighting , like he was engineered to fight.
Ken was the typically bully elder brother who never believed in his little brother and was his fathers favourite. Frank is a true fighter inside and out the ring.
I met Shamrock by helping him on a very respectable project he endeavored in. I laugh now because when I met him, I told him he should be a professional wrestler. He said he was. I laughed again, and we got to work. I've never checked on who frank actually is because he has awesome energy, and we just got along like we've always known each other. We were at lunch one day, and I told him how glad I was he wasn't a arrogant jerk cause I couldn't work side by side with him. It makes my heart hurt thinking about what Frank went/goes through. He carries himself like a true man, and you would never know, I didn't. He never bragged about his success and never looked at me differently for mine. Frank is a great person, and he fights ok too. Think about that. Nothing but love Frank
Loved this video very deep. This film had everything love hate bravery sadness and passion pride compassion and finding your inner peace great movie documentary.
Frank inspires me. Fighting abilities aside. To take on your past, right the wrongs, and ask forgiveness and reconcile with hateful people while being the truest version of yourself... That's a great man.
Comments about Frank leaving his bro under a bridge: Sometimes people on the street don't want help to get them off the street. It's starts with the brother wanting help. He may want what his problems need, perhaps drugs, alcohol. Frank left his number to wait for his biological brother to make the move to get help. I'm sure once the bro asks, or gives permission Frank will reciprocate.
I agree wholeheartedly. Fact is sometimes don't want truly help. Yeah they'll ask for things and complain but what does their actions say? It is always best to help those that want to help themselves. But I also hope if his brother asked for help again, he gives him a shot.
You're making the same mistake most make, blaming homelessness on a choice and drugs and alcohol. Every substance abuse professional knows that all long term alcohol and drug addicts are self medicating for either mental or physically disabled and that is same reason can't hold a job or deal with the red tape nightmare of social service help off the street etc the drugs and alcohol are NOT the reason they're homeless it's their disabilities and ailments and those are the same reasons they use drugs and alcohol
@@fishncapt26 Drugs and Alcohol add to mental illness, I know because I ended up.on the streets, Due to a drunk driver hitting me in a cross walk. I did not self medicate, I worked hard to improve my situation. These street people can decide to quit the drugs and work their way to health. I had a severe brain injury, so don't tell me these people can't help themselves B.S.. Most decide between Drugs and fixes, over leading a Drugless life style cause they love getting high.
Mark King whatever lol you can spew nonsensical opinions all u like facts dont care about your feelings and are impervious to opinions. FACT that every credible substance abuse expert Wil tell you is long term alcoholic and drug addicts are self medicating for either physical or mental or even emotional disorders disabilities syndromes diseases etc etc and that is not subject to your opinion fabrications or ignorance its proven inarguable FACT. bipolar manic depression ptsd schizophrenia etc etc, or physics shit like degenerative disc or spine diseases chronic severe pain post injury etc, etc etc etc, these are not a choice and not a matter of simply "suck it up, git er done" lol which a why the abject failure war on drugs and total failure of forced sobriety rehab industry are total long term failures. Addicts use because can't cope with pain or ailments of body or mind, forcing sobriety upon them always fails long term, and the ONLY true effective option Long term is to get them the proper treatment and legal drugs aka medications they need to be comfortable and cope and not suffer, and the red tape nightmare is why it's easier to walk in liquor store or dealers house with small amount money and get relief. And the crack down immoral imbecilic idiotic crackdown on pain meds has now created the worst heroin epidemic we've ever had, because people can no legally get pain meds they need and ever sjnce the crackdown began with the wsr in oxycontin and has progressed steadily over into all opioid opiate and narcotic pain meds, the heroin use has directly correlated and risen exponentially every year since the crackdown began. If those folks still were able able readily legally obtain meds they required they NEVER would of ended up on street drugs illegaly on heroin. These are facts and not debatable. And you're b.s. about your experience Is totally utterly completely irrelevant. So you were abke to cope and "work through" your issues,,, and? Who gives a phukk? ! Doesnt mean every one else has so easily overcome issues nor does it mean you have a clue what anyone else lives with or through day to day.p
Best part of the whole story is the hug! We have to be forgiving people because we live in a broken world. I truly believe that Ken and Frank love each other. They should allow their relationship to grow and Frank needs to help his brother ASAP!
This entire video took a huge amount of courage and integrity to make and put out for the world to see. The amazing thing is that it probably made a lot of the viewers out there reflect on their own past hurts and disappointments and take steps to make amends with people they may have severed ties with. I know it did with me. Thanks for sharing this with the world, Mr. Shamrock.
I dont feel the meeting was a success. Maybe they will work on it. Reconciliation requires one to confess, submit and accept. Then Repentance will allow healing, redemption, and Sanctification!
i can understand how Frank feels. He should of seen his dad off. But thats something he has to live with. Frank is a great human and has a lot of pain. hes looking back at his life kicking himself for his past mistakes. Someone with a good soul will always shed tears from time to time when they relive the past. The remorse and pain from past actions that can't be changed is hard to live with. im glad hes making progress to heal and rebuild relationships. Much respect to Frank for letting the world see his true feelings in his life.
The story of a man (two men really, counting Ken Shamrock) that those born into and live the pampered life will never fully understand. Rage and aggression - Frank and his brother had it in spades, what every fighter needs to excel or even enter the cage in the first place. Add to the formula a strong work ethic and a high threshold for pain, and you've got a champion in the making.
I can't believe I've never seen this. I truly hope that their relationship has continued to mend since this documentary! Much respect to two absolute Legends!!!!
TO all those young people going through a struggle, i came from an alcoholic parents and the care system, watch this ,learn from this, i was never anywhere franks standard as a fighter but the gym and training saved me... massive respect make a change then you can help change a life!!!!
When i was a teenager i remember staring at a jesus Christ poster and was very sleepy when i finally fell asleep still with the image in my head turned into a wicket demon and it jumped out into body it fucken wierd ever since my life has been a roller coaster drugs crimes messing up relationships it sucks
Great to see Frank and Ken come to terms after all these years. Too much emotion and feelings just poured out, amazing. I love Frank and am glad to see him and Ken get closure finally! Cameras or not. :) OSU!
Fight club baby just let all the pain and rage and bitterness go by beating the hell out of each other they hug and have a good cry afterwards you'll sleep like a baby I think he should have took him up on it
Ken said, let me beat your ass and then all that pent up anger will go away. Lol Frank's like ... Nawww... I don't wanna hurt anymore, we see who's heart is still hardened.
I felt myself standing there in that room with Ken and Frank, feeling every emotion and fully submitted to the sympathy of thier chance for reconciliation.
Beautiful but sad story. Both Ken and Frank are legends. Both warriors and trail blazers. I hope they both also find the internal peace they both deserve 🤙🏻👍🏻👊🏼❤️
Frank offered his brother help, it’s up to his brother to call now and ask for it. Frank is not responsible for how any of his family made their own life choices, he offered, but is not obligated by any means.
Well if you see anyone in that situation it is obvious they need help sometimes i choose 1 random homeless person and feed them bro it makes thier day they get very happy
ive been under a bridge and its hard to say u need help like that.... Cuz ur thinking its so clear what u need so if they arent like cmon lets go its hard to ask... U think they dont want to help u if they obviously see that ur homeless
Brandon White I’ve lived on the streets myself, I lived on the streets when it snowed, if he wants help, he needs to ask, his brother is not obligated.
Hey Frank, I first discovered you when my dad rented a UFC DVD and I watched you drop a guy on his head; that was intense! I know you're not exactly proud of that moment but you became my favorite after that; I'm halfway through Uncaged and you're the real deal man! God bless 👊
You and your determination helped me thru the worst. In 96' a fellow heavy equipment operator fell into a crush zone. I went in to pull him out and lost my right arm. It was you, the scraper, the professor & the good guy who thru your fights, allowed me to stop whining. I will never forget the Tito fight. That year was very hard on me but you helped make the coming year 2000 the first New Year I was excited about. For the first time, I excepted my fate & put on the prosthetic arm that had sat for three years under my bed. Thank you for sharing, You will always be a part of my good life. God Bless you. ........... Stay safe, Have fun ~ always
Ya that's a hard sell brother or no down on his luck sure but with mental illness as well it's a strain on your relationship he has a family plus plain just giving him money isn't the same as helping change someone's life it's more nuanced than just that hell I've taken family members in several times over when they were down on their luck and usually what happens is we end up falling out at the end still love em but fool me twice shame on me🤔
Exactly! Unfortunately experienced a similar "lack of success" attempting to help some family, close friends w addiction, mental illness, etc.- Often not as fruitful as some may wish....
Notice he didn't go to see his brother with his checkbook in hand!!no he tells him u gotta get outta here if u can??HE'S HOMELESS BRO,pretty sure he would if he could man!!
Why ? He left with a promise he'd help if he called. He cannot force his older brother to accept help. I believe if he asks for help, his brother will show. Everyone must walk the path they choose for themselves. It isn't fair to lay the burden of bad choices onto others without concessions that changes need to be made. I'm not talking just verbal, but changes in action.
Its very hard to move foward without forgiving.God bless frank keep up the good work.Ken,that looked hard u did it good job.Put it Behind you move foward.
"Yeah blood brother Perry, i can plainly see you are homeless, but IF you need anything call me.. here is my home number. Leave a message with whoever answers." Something about that meeting just didnt feel very sincere. I guess Frank doesnt carry a cell phone huh? "Well bub, gotta run." "Gotta leave ya here homeless under the bridge" lol. Bullshit. Anybody out there actually know if he did anything to help Perry???
Millionaire with a homeless brother dosent make sense..20k for a year contract on an apt and send 200 a month for food at least for a start up. Get him a truck loading job he'll be str8
Michael Fleming that’s not how people with addiction problems act. You can try and help them but they very rarely change. They usually steal from you and lie to you.
I have watched Franks fights growing up and always thought he was the best of the best! This video shows me he has finally become a true Master. Not just a master in fighting, but master the true meaning of life and living! To be true in everything! Only few have walked that level ! Awesome!
Seriously dude! I mean, I get it; Dude grew up in a fucked up home and left at a really young age. He doesn't really know his brother. But don't act like you care if the cameras are on. Maybe he does care, but just buries it in the day-to-day, and the attention on him made him think more about it, but come on, dude. He reached out to you and you ignored it, why should we believe that you'll pick up the phone next time?
You two might be a couple of bad asses, but after watching you both sit down together and have the best talk I've ever seen between two brothers.....you both are everything that a father could ever wish for. You both learned your lessons very well from your father and it is truly a pleasure to watch the both of you show others how real men and true warriors are to conduct themselves. I am so glad to see you men sit down and share with others how to forgive..... I look forward to more videos from the Shamrocks.
@@theblueangel1973 with that kinda money he can set him up in any decent apartment or seperate family owned home and set him up with some kinda easy minimum wage job within his business.
An excellent documentary and story. I wish both Frank and Ken the best and hope they truly keep the peace between each other. They have a mutual bond of brotherhood between them which can't be broken but they have to work at forgiving each other together.
I know he is self concsious about his face surgery, but man... Look at Mick in "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man" ..... all the ratings in the Early 90's talked about how he was the best looking guy, yadda yadda yadda.... that everyone was so surprised that he stole the show from Don Johnson... Then when Mick Played in "The Wrestler" he worked on his physique, and STOLE THE FUCKING SHOW again.... The man is the come from behind kid personified. To see him so insecure just feels odd. It's a shame that he even bothered having facial surgery in the first place. There was nothing wrong with his look prioir to the botched face job.
Wow...Frank has literally been my favorite real fighter since the days of Pancrase. For a while, I thought that he had too much of an ego to ever make up with Ken or apologize, but the fact that he never went to his own father's funeral while his father was asking for him, he ended up being heavily burdened by guilt and from first hand experience, that can crush any man. And once I saw this documentary and how Frank has matured and grown as a person...how he has let go of his ego, how he has let down his guard, let his defense, his wall, fall, exposing himself as a very sensitive person underneath...it made me gain so much more respect for him, the legend, my favorite fighter ever.
Seems like it's all about money with these guys, all the way up to their dad. I don't know them personally, but that's just what I get from this. The dad choosing Ken's side when Ken was on top making his money, then when Frank became a champion the dad then decides to adopt Frank. Ken using the excuse that they need to get inside the ring whatever problem he and Frank has...... but you can tell he's talking about that paycheck. Not to mention Frank not even throwing a bone to his homeless brother. Just very odd, this family.
Just watched again all your wonderful fights with Bas Rutten... respect... bowing... chatting... brothers-in-arms... no negatives from those encounters... crowd was loving it... that's entertainment. I revisit that atmosphere and you were in great shape. He said you even had a beer afterwards. Love that. Take care you brothers-in-arms. Party on.
If that was my brother, I'm driving a BMW, have plenty of money in the bank, was truly serious about helping him and not show. I would have told him to come with me right now. I would have got him a room or let him move in til I get him a job. So that makes me feel it might be fake. I'm glad he is trying. But I would think he would have took him from under the bridge. My opinion.
I have nothing but respect for Frank Shamrock. I've been watching him since he and Ken shamrock first started. I never missed a UFC since #1. Frank replied and made me realize I should not have posted a drunken message. Because I have a family member who was on drugs and people would help him til they could not do it anymore. Then he would run right back to the bridge, drug house or wherever it was. I'm sorry Frank Shamrock for jumping to conclusions.
He's no good, and all about himself. Cowardly leaves the gym instead of facing Ken like a man, doesn't attend his dads funeral, and doesn't respond to his brother's message for help. He visits his brother under a bridge and says call me if you need help. If I was his brother I'd be like well, I need your help now. At least give him a roof until he gets on his feet, if that doesn't work you can make him leave. Or at least give him some money, sounds like he's doing pretty well.
@@josephdelledonne2098 i think they cut the camera away when frank gave him money but thats still a dick move cuz ive been under a bridge and its hard to say u need help like that.... Cuz ur thinking its so clear what u need so if they arent like cmon lets go its hard to ask
Very powerful story of two brothers coming together after so long and especialy the shamrock's love these guys and happy they are now connected and hope things only get better for the pair . Great story thsnk you for sharing .
I've always been a fan, Frank, but man.. this was a powerful 44 min video. I read that you had gone through some stuff in life, but I never knew what or how much. Thank you for sharing this, it couldn't have been easy. I have even more respect for you now, I wish you the best.
Granted I feel the same way but California is plagued with meth addiction that's pretty much only thing that could halt the process of inviting someone into your home. But nevertheless my door is open to any family member living on the streets
That may be true, and I know it can feel that way, but just because it's "family" doesn't mean it's a good person that won't wreck your life if they get the chance. And in that situation you may look back on it as a mistake. My good friend took his sister in after she was homeless, but it was a disaster. She was mean to his wife, used drugs in front of the kids, wasn't bathing, would not help clean the house or even pick up after herself. Was he supposed to let this person destroy what he'd built over 20 years just because they were siblings? I say no way. It's a two-way street. Frank's brother may be the same way. No way for us to know.
Your heart is in the right place however it's impossible, homeless typically have a drug addiction and and they steal, steal, steal, Nothing is safe! they slowly empty you out, they bring their friends that are drug users in to your house and they steal from you too.
He said his brother has a psychological issue. Dont know if it's schizophrenia or something like that, but if it is, or if it's something similar, there's nothing Frank can do for him. He cant take him home with him cause he isn't medically qualified to take care of someone with a psychological problem. And he probably doesn't want to have him committed cause state psychiatric hospitals are horrific places. They just fill you full of drugs like thorazine and lithium and turn you into a zombie, that's not a life worth living. Or who knows, maybe his brother was hospitalized at one point and they ended up releasing him when they really shouldn't have. There are all kinds of horror stories about how people with psychiatric problems are failed by the system, either for insurance reasons or overcrowding, but then you're back to square one, Frank's not qualified to take care of someone with psychological issues. It's easy to judge someone when you don't know the full story. Maybe we should learn all the facts before passing judgment
I have a new found respect for this guy. Some of the shit he went through is enough to bury you alive, yet he has be able to overcome some of these and continues to battle the ones he can't. That's a true fighter
I had lunch with Frank and his dad once in Birmingham before a MMA event. He was a complete gentleman on that day. I was happy to met him and always pulled for him to win. We all go through bad times that we are not proud of, not everyone sees the error of their ways. I have a lot of respect for Frank.
Nick Diaz laughing and saying "I am Frank shamrock" was touching

Haha, mate you don't half talk some tripe.

When Ken and Frank Hugged I literally felt that and I'm sure their father felt it as well in aheaven. RIP Bob Shamrock
Such an amazing story, this needs a reboot extended series for netflix.
Frank was the first fighter I saw as a serious technician.
Massive heart and talent.
Ken and Frankie are both great fighters, but Frankie was the benchmark, in my eyes at least.
"As a Shamrock, a fighter and as a man ".
Frank, you accomplished a hero's journey. I wish you the best.
BRAVO FRANK AND KENNY......2 of the greatest MMA Fighters in the world. God Bless you both.
You know Frank is a fighter when he uses a Gable grip to give a hug!
Well, at least Ken didn't use a cross-face cradle, to transition into a bro-hug. Would have been a sight!
frank shamrock is a badass and his fights were awesome to watch...mad respect
Frank will always be my favorite Mixed Martial Artist....

The amazing thing is that it probably made a lot of the viewers out there reflect on their own past hurts and disappointments and take steps to make amends with people they may have severed ties with. I know it did with me. Thanks for sharing this with the world, Mr. Shamrock.
TexasGuitarist Very well said my brother :)
Exactly...just what you said...because it sure made me reflect on mine...
Beautifully said my man.
I dont feel the meeting was a success. Maybe they will work on it. Reconciliation requires one to confess, submit and accept. Then Repentance will allow healing, redemption, and Sanctification!
ALL CAPS.... You Get It. Thank you sir.
Inspiring Story Frank ! Thanks for all the fights you gave us to enjoy, keep up the good fight! God Bless.
i can understand how Frank feels. He should of seen his dad off. But thats something he has to live with. Frank is a great human and has a lot of pain. hes looking back at his life kicking himself for his past mistakes. Someone with a good soul will always shed tears from time to time when they relive the past. The remorse and pain from past actions that can't be changed is hard to live with. im glad hes making progress to heal and rebuild relationships. Much respect to Frank for letting the world see his true feelings in his life.
Facing these demons that each and everyone of us can encounter, has a big effect on any family.
Damn 1st video this long that I've actually sat down and watched thoroughly uninterrupted (I have a short attention span). Great story Frank
@1 2 it works fine I just tend to get bored easily 😅, I usually do multiple things at the same time to not get bored
What a beautiful smile at the hug from Ken! Good luck Frank
The story of a man (two men really, counting Ken Shamrock) that those born into and live the pampered life will never fully understand. Rage and aggression - Frank and his brother had it in spades, what every fighter needs to excel or even enter the cage in the first place. Add to the formula a strong work ethic and a high threshold for pain, and you've got a champion in the making.
mark miller And to think, 2 brothers not by blood but happened upon the same man who raised them becoming 2 legends in the sport. Amazing.
Love you Frank. Thanks for the memories, and the person you are. Peace
He should be a hidden fighter in UFC games
Manny Clav lol hell yah
That would be Dope
ghey
Dama White hates Frank and erased him from UFC history.
Two truely amazing fighters who were and still are my mma heros.
Frank was rejected by Bob which must hurt like broken ribs.
And I couldn’t leave my brother living under a bridge, it nearly made me cry.
I can't believe I've never seen this. I truly hope that their relationship has continued to mend since this documentary! Much respect to two absolute Legends!!!!
I've always been a big fan. It took a lot of courage to do this and I have gained so much respect for you because of this.
if this is the real frank shamrock do you do meet and greats?
I gained a new respect watching this guy .. he’s a real person .. I never thought he had a heart ..
This shamrock story is amazing..ken shamrock is more then a man
TO all those young people going through a struggle, i came from an alcoholic parents and the care system, watch this ,learn from this, i was never anywhere franks standard as a fighter but the gym and training saved me... massive respect make a change then you can help change a life!!!!
Everyone has demons or a demon inside them. The only way to kill the demon is with love.
Love most powerful force period.
When i was a teenager i remember staring at a jesus Christ poster and was very sleepy when i finally fell asleep still with the image in my head turned into a wicket demon and it jumped out into body it fucken wierd ever since my life has been a roller coaster drugs crimes messing up relationships it sucks
Ewwww shut up you walking Hallmark card!
@@christianarrizon9796 I'm pretty sure it's the picture's fault.
@@jacobgalloway9123 no its jesus christ that guy is evil
This broke my heart, I never knew of his childhood..... mad respect to Frank Shamrock
Legend
Pioneer
Icon
Master
Human being
We'll done Frank for facing your demons..touching documentary and helped me to decide to face my own demons. Thankyou.
Great to see Frank and Ken come to terms after all these years. Too much emotion and feelings just poured out, amazing. I love Frank and am glad to see him and Ken get closure finally! Cameras or not. :) OSU!
Frank Shamrock's got a true warrior face; a landscape of ferocity and hurt. Amazing documentary.
Don't we all in a way, need the forgiveness of Ken Shamrock in order to move forward with our lives?
Best comment
Hahahaha 👏
Fight club baby just let all the pain and rage and bitterness go by beating the hell out of each other they hug and have a good cry afterwards you'll sleep like a baby I think he should have took him up on it
Buyerofsorts NO , we don't need Jack shit from Ken shitrock. What's your fucking problem ?
Ken said, let me beat your ass and then all that pent up anger will go away. Lol Frank's like ... Nawww... I don't wanna hurt anymore, we see who's heart is still hardened.
I felt myself standing there in that room with Ken and Frank, feeling every emotion and fully submitted to the sympathy of thier chance for reconciliation.
his brother needed a place to stay
nah he needed money to blew it on drug
as a long time fight fan,, thanks for the docco. the real hero in my eyes is Bob Shamrock and his wife
For all the crying he does, he certainly didn't help anyone or anything that was bothering him, but life's hard and there's reasons. Still a legend
I am from different culture and this men is real human been respect
Ken’s manager “ Ken would win” Frank’s manager “ Frank would win” clearly no bias
Beautiful but sad story. Both Ken and Frank are legends. Both warriors and trail blazers. I hope they both also find the internal peace they both deserve 🤙🏻👍🏻👊🏼❤️
Frank offered his brother help, it’s up to his brother to call now and ask for it. Frank is not responsible for how any of his family made their own life choices, he offered, but is not obligated by any means.
Well if you see anyone in that situation it is obvious they need help sometimes i choose 1 random homeless person and feed them bro it makes thier day they get very happy
ive been under a bridge and its hard to say u need help like that.... Cuz ur thinking its so clear what u need so if they arent like cmon lets go its hard to ask... U think they dont want to help u if they obviously see that ur homeless
@@upstylo keep your head up brandon
Brandon White I’ve lived on the streets myself, I lived on the streets when it snowed, if he wants help, he needs to ask, his brother is not obligated.
Dude it’s his brother
The original mixed martial artist - a legend.
When he said " i was already drinking in the park with hobos when i was 7 " i felt that
i was selling cocaine at 13 so what?
We never know what people go through just to get to the other side to find peace of mind... great fighter great human being
Still love his fight with Phil baroni.
First time ever seeing this...I have a new respect for those guys. Always been a fan of both.
Hey Frank, I first discovered you when my dad rented a UFC DVD and I watched you drop a guy on his head; that was intense! I know you're not exactly proud of that moment but you became my favorite after that; I'm halfway through Uncaged and you're the real deal man! God bless 👊
You and your determination helped me thru the worst. In 96' a fellow heavy equipment operator fell into a crush zone. I went in to pull him out and lost my right arm. It was you, the scraper, the professor & the good guy who thru your fights, allowed me to stop whining. I will never forget the Tito fight. That year was very hard on me but you helped make the coming year 2000 the first New Year I was excited about. For the first time, I excepted my fate & put on the prosthetic arm that had sat for three years under my bed. Thank you for sharing, You will always be a part of my good life. God Bless you. ........... Stay safe, Have fun ~ always
He doesnt care
awesome cant wait to watch this youre a legend frank
Love you Frank
You were the greatest during your time, I remember man
I wonder if he actually done anything to help his brother??? I would have took my brother home with me. Not later or in a week.Right then
Ya that's a hard sell brother or no down on his luck sure but with mental illness as well it's a strain on your relationship he has a family plus plain just giving him money isn't the same as helping change someone's life it's more nuanced than just that hell I've taken family members in several times over when they were down on their luck and usually what happens is we end up falling out at the end still love em but fool me twice shame on me🤔
Exactly! Unfortunately experienced a similar "lack of success" attempting to help some family, close friends w addiction, mental illness, etc.- Often not as fruitful as some may wish....
I think his brother passed ,frank did an update video on it,he said he tried to help him in it.
I lived at the shamrock house out by emerson lake loved it there some of my best childhood memories there
Legend!!!
I always like his style of fighting. Explosive, tuff and skilled.
Notice he didn't go to see his brother with his checkbook in hand!!no he tells him u gotta get outta here if u can??HE'S HOMELESS BRO,pretty sure he would if he could man!!
Ray Pratt he's a fake fuck
Why ? He left with a promise he'd help if he called. He cannot force his older brother to accept help. I believe if he asks for help, his brother will show. Everyone must walk the path they choose for themselves. It isn't fair to lay the burden of bad choices onto others without concessions that changes need to be made. I'm not talking just verbal, but changes in action.
@@johncooper8839 Your coming with me end of story'
Its very hard to move foward without forgiving.God bless frank keep up the good work.Ken,that looked hard u did it good job.Put it
Behind you move foward.
"Yeah blood brother Perry, i can plainly see you are homeless, but IF you need anything call me.. here is my home number. Leave a message with whoever answers."
Something about that meeting just didnt feel very sincere. I guess Frank doesnt carry a cell phone huh? "Well bub, gotta run." "Gotta leave ya here homeless under the bridge" lol. Bullshit. Anybody out there actually know if he did anything to help Perry???
Why not put him up in a cheap motel for a couple of weeks why they try and arrange some kind of emergency housing?
Phoenix Brown helping drug addicts with mental illness is probably harder then you think
@@relikvija true, they have to be willing to accept the help and often times they are not
Millionaire with a homeless brother dosent make sense..20k for a year contract on an apt and send 200 a month for food at least for a start up. Get him a truck loading job he'll be str8
Michael Fleming that’s not how people with addiction problems act. You can try and help them but they very rarely change. They usually steal from you and lie to you.
I have watched Franks fights growing up and always thought he was the best of the best! This video shows me he has finally become a true Master. Not just a master in fighting, but master the true meaning of life and living! To be true in everything! Only few have walked that level ! Awesome!
What do we do now. Im almost 40. Warrior days fading. The code no longer serves. Im lost and getting in trouble
Wow! Lots of respect to Frank for being so open and honest. Thank you for letting us in to your fascinating story.
i hope his brother isnt still living under that same bridge
If Frank really cared about his brother he would put a roof over his head for a month or two and see how his brother would react to it.
Seriously dude! I mean, I get it; Dude grew up in a fucked up home and left at a really young age. He doesn't really know his brother. But don't act like you care if the cameras are on. Maybe he does care, but just buries it in the day-to-day, and the attention on him made him think more about it, but come on, dude. He reached out to you and you ignored it, why should we believe that you'll pick up the phone next time?
Sure ! because the best way to cure homeless people is giving them free stuff....not.
WhereThereDude it's his brother!
Well... Frank could "move some strings" to get him a job or pay him for rehab if he is an addict.
You two might be a couple of bad asses, but after watching you both sit down together and have the best talk I've ever seen between two brothers.....you both are everything that a father could ever wish for. You both learned your lessons very well from your father and it is truly a pleasure to watch the both of you show others how real men and true warriors are to conduct themselves. I am so glad to see you men sit down and share with others how to forgive..... I look forward to more videos from the Shamrocks.
Ok Perry gotta go back to my mansion preparing for a gourmet meal tonight a real feast, let me know if there's anything I can do buddy see you later.
I looked up Franks net worth after that scene under the bridge and he is worth a cool $10 million. I was surprised. That really was a dick move.
@@italyavenue ikr there is no way my brother would be living like that if I cared about him at all
Damon 2A would you let a possible monster you haven’t seen in years in your house with your kids? Grief
@@theblueangel1973 with that kinda money he can set him up in any decent apartment or seperate family owned home and set him up with some kinda easy minimum wage job within his business.
An excellent documentary and story. I wish both Frank and Ken the best and hope they truly keep the peace between each other. They have a mutual bond of brotherhood between them which can't be broken but they have to work at forgiving each other together.
Who the hell told Mick that glasses and hat combo was a good look? Jesus Christ
Dude's self-conscious about his botched cosmetic surgery.
yes. a real man doesn't obsesses about his own face... most actors are insecure sissies.
Praise Jesus
I know he is self concsious about his face surgery, but man... Look at Mick in "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man" ..... all the ratings in the Early 90's talked about how he was the best looking guy, yadda yadda yadda.... that everyone was so surprised that he stole the show from Don Johnson... Then when Mick Played in "The Wrestler" he worked on his physique, and STOLE THE FUCKING SHOW again.... The man is the come from behind kid personified. To see him so insecure just feels odd. It's a shame that he even bothered having facial surgery in the first place. There was nothing wrong with his look prioir to the botched face job.
IronHillsTraining Mick don't give a shit.
Wow...Frank has literally been my favorite real fighter since the days of Pancrase. For a while, I thought that he had too much of an ego to ever make up with Ken or apologize, but the fact that he never went to his own father's funeral while his father was asking for him, he ended up being heavily burdened by guilt and from first hand experience, that can crush any man. And once I saw this documentary and how Frank has matured and grown as a person...how he has let go of his ego, how he has let down his guard, let his defense, his wall, fall, exposing himself as a very sensitive person underneath...it made me gain so much more respect for him, the legend, my favorite fighter ever.
Seems like it's all about money with these guys, all the way up to their dad. I don't know them personally, but that's just what I get from this. The dad choosing Ken's side when Ken was on top making his money, then when Frank became a champion the dad then decides to adopt Frank. Ken using the excuse that they need to get inside the ring whatever problem he and Frank has...... but you can tell he's talking about that paycheck. Not to mention Frank not even throwing a bone to his homeless brother. Just very odd, this family.
Thank you you guys have make history Not only in martial arts but also in the human condition
why didn't he take his brother with him?
HIS BROTHER NEEDS TO "WANT" TO GO.
he didn't want to get his car dirty
Just watched again all your wonderful fights with Bas Rutten... respect... bowing... chatting... brothers-in-arms... no negatives from those encounters... crowd was loving it... that's entertainment. I revisit that atmosphere and you were in great shape. He said you even had a beer afterwards. Love that. Take care you brothers-in-arms. Party on.
If that was my brother, I'm driving a BMW, have plenty of money in the bank, was truly serious about helping him and not show. I would have told him to come with me right now. I would have got him a room or let him move in til I get him a job. So that makes me feel it might be fake. I'm glad he is trying. But I would think he would have took him from under the bridge. My opinion.
I have nothing but respect for Frank Shamrock. I've been watching him since he and Ken shamrock first started. I never missed a UFC since #1. Frank replied and made me realize I should not have posted a drunken message. Because I have a family member who was on drugs and people would help him til they could not do it anymore. Then he would run right back to the bridge, drug house or wherever it was. I'm sorry Frank Shamrock for jumping to conclusions.
This was a powerful testimony...
frank has a brother on the streets he has not seen him for 8 year if the camera crew were not there he would not have goon
Mark Hutt it's fucking despicable
Definitely facts
thankyoufor sharing your story we all do make mistakes thank God your brothers are close to you again. God bless you and your family
34 minutes in. he leaves his brother with call me some time under a bridge... that is weak
It was funny in a cruel way
Ken and Frank show a lot of respect for each other especially without editing.
Would not...Could not.. leave my brother under a bridge
No cap g same
That shows what kind of guy frank is
@@christianarrizon9796 very true
He's no good, and all about himself. Cowardly leaves the gym instead of facing Ken like a man, doesn't attend his dads funeral, and doesn't respond to his brother's message for help. He visits his brother under a bridge and says call me if you need help. If I was his brother I'd be like well, I need your help now. At least give him a roof until he gets on his feet, if that doesn't work you can make him leave. Or at least give him some money, sounds like he's doing pretty well.
@@josephdelledonne2098 i think they cut the camera away when frank gave him money but thats still a dick move cuz ive been under a bridge and its hard to say u need help like that.... Cuz ur thinking its so clear what u need so if they arent like cmon lets go its hard to ask
Very powerful story of two brothers coming together after so long and especialy the shamrock's love these guys and happy they are now connected and hope things only get better for the pair . Great story thsnk you for sharing .
I remember seeing Frank at a UFC. I yelled his name... he ignored me.
Frank is definitely a Hall of Famer and one of the GOAT
You see your brother like that you tell him come on lets go your coming with me
Lol are you for real ??? Brother thats funny
@POC Skellington lol
@POC Skellington your funny brother
La respuesta de mis horacianes han sido contestadas
@POC Skellington funny huh
I've always been a fan, Frank, but man.. this was a powerful 44 min video. I read that you had gone through some stuff in life, but I never knew what or how much. Thank you for sharing this, it couldn't have been easy. I have even more respect for you now, I wish you the best.
Seriously i would take my bro In If he ever was homeless money isn't an option
Granted I feel the same way but California is plagued with meth addiction that's pretty much only thing that could halt the process of inviting someone into your home. But nevertheless my door is open to any family member living on the streets
That may be true, and I know it can feel that way, but just because it's "family" doesn't mean it's a good person that won't wreck your life if they get the chance. And in that situation you may look back on it as a mistake. My good friend took his sister in after she was homeless, but it was a disaster. She was mean to his wife, used drugs in front of the kids, wasn't bathing, would not help clean the house or even pick up after herself. Was he supposed to let this person destroy what he'd built over 20 years just because they were siblings? I say no way. It's a two-way street. Frank's brother may be the same way. No way for us to know.
Would it be forever?
Your heart is in the right place however it's impossible, homeless typically have a drug addiction and and they steal, steal, steal, Nothing is safe! they slowly empty you out, they bring their friends that are drug users in to your house and they steal from you too.
@@SlLVERFAWKES yes they do! Doesnt matter best friend, brother , mom ,dad ,grandparents nobody is above there addiction an sht will come up missing
thank you sharing your story . I learned so much .
"Get outta here if you can" okay Frank, quit being such a narcissist if you can and help him
Yup, that was ridiculous...
He said his brother has a psychological issue. Dont know if it's schizophrenia or something like that, but if it is, or if it's something similar, there's nothing Frank can do for him. He cant take him home with him cause he isn't medically qualified to take care of someone with a psychological problem. And he probably doesn't want to have him committed cause state psychiatric hospitals are horrific places. They just fill you full of drugs like thorazine and lithium and turn you into a zombie, that's not a life worth living. Or who knows, maybe his brother was hospitalized at one point and they ended up releasing him when they really shouldn't have. There are all kinds of horror stories about how people with psychiatric problems are failed by the system, either for insurance reasons or overcrowding, but then you're back to square one, Frank's not qualified to take care of someone with psychological issues. It's easy to judge someone when you don't know the full story. Maybe we should learn all the facts before passing judgment
I have a new found respect for this guy. Some of the shit he went through is enough to bury you alive, yet he has be able to overcome some of these and continues to battle the ones he can't. That's a true fighter
