MMA News and Notes

What do you guys think about Sherk vs. Penn? In detail...

BJ peppers Sherk with punches on the feet, frustrates Sherk with his god-like takedown defense and flexibility. Sherk attempts takedown after takedown but gets stuffed every time. BJ continues to score points with striking and wins rounds until BJ catches him coming in for a takedown with a knee right in the kisser, follows him to the ground, takes his back and chokes him out in the middle of the 3rd.
 
Assuming Sherk isn't handicapped by being clean, I honestly can't see him losing with the current set of rules and judging criteria.
 
I'm voting for Sherk. I still like him better than BJ, although BJ certainly is impressive.
 
Are you voting with your head, your heart, or your groin?

Is there a difference?

I just think sometimes BJ comes off as a little punk and needs to be taken down a notch (and this is one of those times). If he hadn't said that Sherk is dead and had been a little more respectful, I'd be all for him being the light-weight champion. Now I just want to see Sherk drag him out 25 minutes and get a decision that screws BJ out of the title (and doing all this while completely clean).

I know, I have a vengeance streak :D.
 
Are you guys smoking crack? GSP absolutely steamrolled Sherk and most people you ask think BJ beat GSP, and that's before BJ decided that training for a fight might be a good idea. Sherk can't strike with BJ, won't be able to take BJ down and that's about it... BJ by GnP TKO or submission.

Again, I love BJ. He's a phenomenal fighter, but I don't like all the shit talking inside the cage (makes me think WWE). Sherk def has his hands full, but I would love to see him beat BJ up for 25 minutes just to shut him up a little (respect those that came before you - even if they are on drugs half the time or are complete wash-ups).

I agree with the striking for sure. But I do think Sherk could possibly be more successful with his shoots then when he fought GSP. I still don't know how to call this one though. I guess I'll wait a while.
 
I'm going with Penn. I think he is way more technical and looks a lot stronger.
 
I think hes the same but in a different weight class.

Ive never been thrilled by either fighter, but after doing some research, how long has Sherk been a Lightweight? Only a couple of fights yes?

Yeah, he's only fought 2 times at 155. The thing is about these two is that they have 2 common opponents, GSP and Hughes. Sherk was outclassed by both, and we all know how BJ did.

BJ is just a freak of nature, and with proper conditioning I think he's unbeatable, especially @ 155.
 
BJ needs to stay on his feet. if he gets taken down, there is a high possibility of him gassing quickly. Sherk needs to take bj down, constrict his breathing and keep him moving so he gasses and starts making mistakes.

BJ by KO or RNC

I want to see Mir win over Lesnar (but to see Lesnar have a good showing), Nogueira win over Silvia (I just don't like Tim that much), Marquardt over Horn, I agree with you on the rest. This should be a good card.
