Filed under: Bellator , Featured , Featured Videos , News , Videos UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock is not going quietly back to Nevada after a TKO loss to Royce Gracie in this past Friday’s Bellator 149 headliner. On Sunday, Shamrock, via his legal rep, filed a complaint with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and asked the commission to overturn the result to a no-contest after the referee missed an illegal knee to the groin. “The contest was stopped erroneously due to Ken Shamrock’s inability to fight back or protect himself after the illegal knee,” read a statement released today by the 52-year-old fighter, who raged at Gracie and referee Jacob Montalvo following the first-round stoppage . Shamrock (28-17-2 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) later collected himself, apologizing to Gracie (15-2-3 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) for his outburst while maintaining he was fouled and Montalvo did not do his job. A public records request for Shamrock’s complaint is pending with the TDLR, which oversaw the Spike-televised event at Houston’s Toyota Center. Spokesperson Susan Stanford confirmed to MMAjunkie the complaint was filed
