Let Aoki fight 1-2 fights before he gets a chance for the LW belt so all the new mma fans can see him fight. Also I don't think Aoki's BJJ is any better than Hermes, he's just way more flexible(like da man BJ). Aoki got some quick reflexes tho and that gogo on Hellboy was pretty damn SICK!!! Still he could give Sherk some matchup problems. He gives most fighters matchup problems due to his flexibility. Hope UFC gets him.

Aoki wouldn't shoot in because he is a Judo Black Belt, He works for the clinch kid.

I agree, Sherk is way to strong for Aoki but you never know./..anything could happen

Aoki is the rubber man. He is just too crafty and tricky on the ground for Sherk. I truly see him having the ability to sweep Sherk and choke him out. He can maneuver out of any trick situation that Sherk puts him in. Furthermore, what's Sherk gonna do when Aoki gogoplatas him? Nothing, that's right.

Sherk by 5 round, brutal, grinding UD. He's too strong, too conditioned, too position dominant.

Sherk is smart, he knows the ground would be dangerous. If he can keep it standing and take out Diaz he damn sure can do it against Aoki.

aoki would sub sherk. he is one of a very few nightmare matchups for sherk. what is sherk's bread and butter? takedown, then GnP/LnP. well if he fought aoki, taking aoki down puts him in aoki's most dominating and dangerous position--his GUARD. at worse it nullifies his bread and butter. it's like fighting gomi but somehow completely neutralizing his standup. i don't think sherk could help taking aoki down or avoid aoki pulling guard on him. it's just a bad matchup for him--he would have to keep the fight standing--which is what EVERYONE tries to do when they fight aoki. somehow they all end up tapping for their lives.

Sherk would toss around Aoki like a ragdoll and GNP him out in the second, Aoki would have no idea how to deal with Sherk's strenght, intesity, and skill.
