Sherk's UFC Record and Penn

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

Why would anyone think the fight between Penn and Sherk would be even close?(question mark needed) I consider this(this is needed to help understand your moronic sentence) a huge mismatch in Penn's favor.

Before responds please do the following.(I like the continuity of this sentence) Watch Sherk's fights and prove to me that he has successfully GnP, Submitted, or Imposed his Stand up on some near Penns level. I am(you forget way too many small words) willing and wanting to see and consider changing my perspective based on real evidence.

There's a little editing for ya moron. I bolded your idiotic mistakes. And the sentence in the bold? C'mon this coming from a so called graduate? Get a life, your thread is horse shit and is way too long to give half a shit about.

p.s. you said been twice and stand up is 2 words same as take down

p.p.s. THIS IS THE BEST THREAD EVER MADE

Thoughts?

Just for the record, if you guys are curious, this idiot has been sending me harassing PM's regarding my sig. He goes on to call himself rich and successful, and thinks I'm a garbage man...lol! It's quite amusing, so i thought I would help this so called genius with some grammar mistakes. Hey, he asked for it.

I doubt anyone will read this anyways seeing as how CRAP this thread is.

BTW this guys is a major troll. And he thinks *** is not a racist term.

ok well sherk has great skill and just because he couldn't finish top grapplers in diaz, florian, and franca doesn't mean he lacks that ability. the thing is, sherk's strategy is very obvious and so any fighter he faces can prepare for it. not only that, but sherk has short stubby arms so he lacks the power for knockouts and his standup is a bit weak as well, altho he can throw fast strikes. i think if sherk fights someone who isn't good at defending on their back then he could probably catch a sub or win a stoppage
