Frank Shamrock
Frank Shamrock, the adopted brother of Ken Shamrock, was the first UFC middleweight champion when the division (later renamed light heavyweight) began in 1997. He won it with a 16-second armbar of Kevin Jackson and defended it four times, including a knockout slam of Igor Zinoviev and a famous comeback against Tito Ortiz at UFC 22, and was widely rated the best fighter in the world before he retired from the UFC in 1999.
He later won the WEC light heavyweight and Strikeforce middleweight titles, beating Phil Baroni, before losing to Cung Le and Nick Diaz, and went on to commentate. CagePotato covered his broadcasting career and his long-running feud with Ken.
