Shamrock to Swick: ‘I was making you a man’

Frank Shamrock suffered a war of words with Dana White that included a video ostensibly in support of a nationwde anti-bullying is school campain, making dark reference to being “bullied for telling the truth.” Mike Swick responded with outrage, accusing Shamrock of injuring training partners, holding chokes through tapouts until unconsciousness, and, generally, being a heinous bully. The quarrel spilled over into twitter:

Mike Swick:

He is obviously not sincere in the least if he cant at least make an apology video to all those he bullied first. http://tinyurl.com/25kr79nMonday, November 22, 2010 11:12:00 AM
