Shamrock admits Diaz was “the better man”

Frank Shamrock admitted after his defeat to Nick Diaz at the
Strikeforce “Shamrock vs. Diaz” event, that his opponent was the better
man.

Referee “Big” John McCarthy called a halt to the match in the second round after Shamrock failed to defend himself against Diaz.

“I give everything to Nick Diaz,” Shamrock said.

“I knew he was a dangerous opponent. Nick kicked my ass tonight;
there’s no two ways about it. Nick was just the better man. He hit me
in the guts, and that was about all the juice I had. I doubled over,
and he put a whoopin’ on me.”

But Shamrock insists he will get back after being defeated in his hometown.

“This is my hometown; this is my arena,” he said. “I’m 36. I’m still
going. I’ll be back here. Don’t even worry about it. There’s always
tomorrow.”
