Sherk's only 5'6 or so and his opponents are usually taller. So he's packing the same amount of weight as them on a smaller frame. Hughes cuts weight to get down to 170. I'm betting Penn doesn't have to cut alot of weight to make 170. If you saw BJ at 155 he'd look more like the other fighers, instead of when he fought up in weight classes.
