Last night in the main event of Bellator 149<\/a> Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock faced off for the third time in their MMA careers. <\/p>\n

After the bout, Gracie spoke on the situation at the post-fight press conference:<\/p>\n

“I’m very happy, that was my first knockout, but, I was telling Ken, we come from an era where there was no time limit, no weight division, no gloves, no rules, groin shots were allowed. But it did not catch his groin.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
