There is no doubt Sherk has fought top competitors. He has fought Hughes and GSP although unsuccessfully. Why can he not finish his opponents with respect to his UFC bouts. I mean not everyone he has fought in the UFC has been been Hughes or GSP. His style appears to be a submission wrestler. I would not call him a GnP stylist or at least not an effective one. He did not appear to do any damage to Franca in over 25 minutes. It is true you can argue whether Franca is top 10 or not, but he is definately not top 5 in the World not talking about UFC but out of all Orgs. But whatever I will get more to the point.
People think Sherk will beat Penn because of Strength? Why would anyone think his strength would help him against Penn? Penn has fought much stronger people and I don't think Penn used his "Strength" to stop Hughes takedowns. Oops I am getting off topic again! Damn!
Okay what is my point...Hmm let me think. I think I got it. Since his GnP is not very good and he won't be able to submit Penn and he has no power in his stand up. Why would anyone think the fight between Penn and Sherk would be even close. I consider a huge mismatch in Penn's favor.
Before responds please do the following. Watch Sherk's fights and prove to me that he has successfully GnP, Submitted, or Imposed his Standup on some near Penns level. I willing and wanting to see and consider changing my perspective based on real evidence.
Thanks for reading and responding
