Their first fight, at UFC 1 more than 22 years ago, ended in less than a minute when Gracie forced Shamrock to tap to a rear-naked choke. The rematch came a few years later at UFC 5, where they fought to a draw after 36 minutes. In the co-main event, Kevin “ Kimbo Slice ” Ferguson meets Dhafir “ Dada 5000 ” Harris.
