i just re-watched this fight and wow what a performance by BJ. like some people pointed out he did look exhausted afterwards and i wonder what would have happened if Joe could have lasted a round or two more. i think it's BJ's ability to finish people so quickly that will mask his suspect cardio and despite everyone saying Sherk will last 5 rounds with BJ i just can't see it happening. Sherk has great wrestling but BJ's grappling is amazing and he should be able to pass Sherk's guard pretty easily. BJ has better striking than Sean and will punish him on the feet if Sherk wants to make it a boxing match. the thing is BJ can KO Sherk on the feet, sub or TKO Sherk from the top or sub him from the bottom. the only way i can see Sherk winning is by staying on top and managing to somehow avoid subs for 5 straight rounds which i just can't see happening against a master in BJJ like Penn. i'm calling BJ by armbar in the second round.
