He became the first member to be inducted in the UFC Hall of Fame and also the first fighter to ever defend a title in the promotion.

Kenneth Wayne Shamrock (né Kilpatrick; born February 11, 1964) is an American bare-knuckle boxing promoter, semi-retired professional wrestler, and retired mixed martial artist and kickboxer, currently signed with Impact Wrestling. A UFC Hall of Fame member, Shamrock is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters in the history of MMA, as well as an icon and pioneer of the sport. He has headlined over 15 main events and co-main events in the UFC and Pride FC and set numerous pay-per-view records. In the early part of his UFC career, Shamrock was named “The World’s Most Dangerous Man” by ABC News in a special called “The World’s Most Dangerous Things”. The moniker has stuck as his nickname.

Shamrock’s fighting style has varied over the course of his career. During Shamrock’s prime, he was known as an explosive grappler with speed, power, agility, and physical strength. Fighter Mike Ciesnolevicz called Shamrock “out of this world strong”, and added “I was in awe of his strength, it was definitely something I will not forget.” Bob Shamrock, who ran a troubled boys youth home and eventually adopted Ken as his son, said, “I have had over 900 young men live with me in the past 30 years and I have never seen anyone with (Ken’s) athletic ability.” Shamrock learned the art of shoot wrestling primarily from Masakatsu Funaki in Japan and used this style during his fights in the 1990s.

In June 1990, after being inspired by Dean Malenko, Shamrock applied for the American tryouts of Japanese Universal Wrestling Federation in Florida. As it was a shoot style promotion, where real strikes and holds were used, Shamrock was put to spar legitimately against other participants, among them Bart Vale. After passing another tryout in Japan, he was eventually accepted, and in October he had his debut match in UWF, wrestling under the name of “Wayne Shamrock” and defeating Yoji Anjo. He became instantly popular and was put on a match against Masakatsu Funaki next. UWF folded shortly after, and Shamrock followed Funaki and other wrestlers to its successor promotion, Pro Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi, led by Yoshiaki Fujiwara.

Later he adopted the nickname “Mr. Wrestling” and a more villainous persona.

On November 12, 1993, after the first three Pancrase shows, Shamrock was introduced by his apprentice Scott Bessac to the newly formed Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a fighting tournament that would take place in America. UFC 1, was held under a one-night tournament format, but Shamrock only realized it would be real fighting after watching Gerard Gordeau knock out Teila Tuli in the first bout.

On October 4, 1992, at the Tokyo Dome, a legitimate match between “Wayne Shamrock” (Shamrock’s ring name in Japan) and kickboxer Don Nakaya Nielsen took place. Shamrock submitted Nielsen in 45 seconds, first threatening him with a rear naked choke and then locking a neck crank/keylock combination for the win. The success of this match made young professional wrestlers Shamrock, Masakatsu Funaki and Minoru Suzuki question what they had been told since entering into predetermined wrestling: that nobody would ever pay to see real matches. Shamrock, Funaki and Suzuki then founded a group of professional wrestlers and decided to pursue marketable legitimate matches. They formed a promotion called Pancrase.
