Good fight by Tank. Good punching bag-style recieving skills by Ken.
This was a lot like that famous picture from Tianaman square of the lady in from of the Tank. But here, the tank did not stop, and the lady was Ken Shamrock.

No, in real life it's a man. But in the write-up it sounded better as a lady. When I was a kid I thought it was a lady with shopping bags tho.


The girl in the streets of that famous anti-Vietnam picture (running down the street naked and crying) moved to Canada several years after, and has lived here since. Cool true story.
