Yeah. Wins over Hermes Franca, Kenny Florian, Nick Diaz, Benji Radach, Manny Gamburyan, Karo Parisyan (twice), and Tiki Ghosn? 32-2-1 record? Only losses to the best WW in the UFC and the greatest WW Champ in UFC history? Throw the bum outta there!

I hate people like you who think they know exactly whats going to happen in a fight. If MMA was that predictable no one would watch it.
He said "I think"

He was stating his opinion, not telling everyone what's going to happen.


Man some of you people are dumb and blind. I'm not even arguing about the subject the TS made, i'm just getting annoyed by some of the things people are interpreting wrong.

I've always thought Sherk was a little overrated. Lets be honest, Sherk isn't going to win this fight on the feet. I think his boxing is not as good as people think. Sean is just basically a strong wrestler with great cardio. That is what he relies on in his fights. He has never beaten a fighter with the skill-set that Penn has. When he does goes against top competition, he loses (St-Pierre and Hughes).

If Sherk couldn't finish Diaz, Franca, or Florian, he will not be able to finish BJ. BJ's recent wins over Pulver and Stevenson, in dominating fashion, are more impressive than anything Sherk has accomplished.

Sherk's only chance is to take BJ down and hold him down for 5 rounds. I just don't see Sherk being able to hold BJ down. GSP couldn't do it, Hughes couldn't do it, hell Randy can't even do it in training
You should probally mention that the 2 losses were at a higher wieght class. My math does suck, but I think that would make him undefeated at 155. I'm not sure if Sherk is going to win or not, but if your going to blast the guy at least be honest and lay all the facts on the table.

An 18 year old Karo.

Benji and Tiki can't even get a fight in the UFC anymore.

Manny still has a lot to prove.



Other than Florian and Franca, these are all fights that happened years ago in small orgs. or against guys that can no longer cut it in the UFC.

Before looking at sherks record maybe some people should refresh their memories of what BJs record looks like

Not all of BJ's fights were at 155 either.
