Why are there no LW challengers in the UFC?

From the Muscle Sharks forum:

http://www.seansherk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14

"I really wanted to fight on the UFC 62 card as planned. I told Joe Silva I'll fight 155 or 170 for a title or a non title fight but they were unable to find an opponent. It looks like I'll be fighting in October now, I just took 2 weeks off training and I'm ready to get back after it now.

I have one goal in mind, to kick the shit out of Florian!!"

It seems that you scare the people away from fighting you. I admit that I am fairly new to the MMA scene and I have not seen you fight yet, but it appears you are a force to be reckoned with. I think spencer fisher would accept a fight from you. What is your take on him?

You'd think Dana would of given one of his famous F-bomb "Do you wanna be a fighter?" speeches.

You're right, I guess excuses are easy to come by when you have to face someone like Sherk.

Are you also new to the use of quotations in a post?

That was just a line from his forum... Thats not Sean Sherk... =)

Kenny's not scared to fight him.. he just wanted a few more weeks to train. It'll be an awsome fight to see.

Yes, my mistake. Please don't bash me. But what about Fisher?

the sheer fact that they were unable to find a SINGLE fighter willing to step up to the plate to fight sherk is ridiculous and says a lot about the ufc's overrated LW div. shit, pay tyson griffin or uriah faber some money and throw them in there! i'm sick of this danny abbadi/jorge gurgel JV crap.
