In fact, she claims Ken is straight up LYING about the fight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We broke the story ... Shamrock claims he was breaking up a girl-on-girl brawl in a mall in Modesto, CA earlier this month when someone jumped on his back. Shamrock claims he believed the person was a man, so he took \"him\" down. Turns out ... \"he\" was actually a \"she.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Garcia claims it's all BS ... claiming Shamrock didn't actually break up the original fight, but rather screamed at her to do it ... which she did. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garcia claims Shamrock began to yell at her for not stopping the fight sooner ... and then snapped and PUNCHED her in the face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garcia says her mom ran over to intervene ... and Shamrock punched her too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon after the alleged girl-punching, security and police arrived to the scene ... and only then, Garcia says, Shamrock backed off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TMZ has text messages from Garcia to her sister (who goes by \"Hoochie\" in the phone) just moments after the fight in which she describes the incident. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0824_text_message\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/08/24/0824-text-message-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garcia tells TMZ ... if the police don't press charges, she plans to file a lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rep for Shamrock tells TMZ ... Ken doesn't believe he did anything wrong ... and only acted in self-defense."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
