Bellator has released their ‘Countdown’ show that previews their upcoming tentpole event featuring Ken Shamrock vs Royce Gracie 3, and Kimbo Slice vs Dada 5000.

Apart from extensive smack talk from the 4 featured fighters, there were a bit of random clips featured like Royce showing off his armory of guns, Dada returning to where he had those street fights, and others. Also among those shots from the Spike TV special, was Shamrock doing some strength and conditioning in a swimming pool. (Watch above starting at the 14:30 mark)

“What can I do that’s going to help me become a better fighter?” Shamrock asked. “This training in the pool, is helping me get that workout in, but not damage my body.”

Royce has since responded to this, throwing another jab at his opponent from social media:

Gracie is 49-years-old, while Shamrock is 52. They will complete the trilogy on Feb 19, over 2 decades since their first two meetings.
