Talk talk talk. Bj Penn will finish him off, gonna be fun to watch.

Come on Sherk, prove you need stamina and muscle. Push it to 5 rounds and take this guy out. I’m sick of BJ

i dont know bro i like BJ alot but, sometimes he is too cocky i think Sherk is fired up and will gas out BJ i dont see Penn being able to overwhelm Sherk like GSP did i think Sherk will win the crowd back when they fight. it will be up in the air but, longer it lasts more % chance Sherk will win

I have never put money where my outh is, but I plan to for this fight. There is no way BJ is walking away with the strap. Sherk said it best, ” As far as im concerned thats still my belt and he hasnt beaten me yet “. I dont want to hear you all saying “all he does is Lay N Pray” or “Steroid Freak”, regardless if he was/is guilty or not when it came to the roids, time served. He paid his dues for that. Move on.

Sherk Reclaims his strap 1st round TKO - Only cause its personal. (and I would love to see BJ get KTFO for the first time)

he’s got some rage in him…..BJ takes this fight.

BJ Penn is in big trouble!

BJ penn WILL kill sherk. sherk got skills but bad style match up for him.

BJ PENN winner in 1st round VIA rear naked choke

I like it when Bj talks trash, now Sherk is gonna run his mouth and BJ feeds off that kind of motivation. We all know sherk is a cardio machine and will push the pace of the fight for all 25 minutes (if it lasts that long). BJ is fully aware that Sherk will push the most furious pace he has ever seen. we all know it, so does anyone really believe BJ isnt aware of it? With thats said, BJ knows he is gonna have to train like he has never done before and be in the shape of his life. Thats just a formality though, that can be accomplished.

I think you have a fighter truly a outclassed when all they have going for them is their Cardio against you. There is nothing in Sherks skill set for BJ to fear, only his cardio. Cardio is the easiest thing to improve on….especially at that level with those kind of conditioning coaches. All u have to do is work harder. Which is all BJ has to do from now till may 24th. Just work hard!

Sherk on the other hand, has a lot of work to do IMO. The only skill he does better then BJ is wrestling, and BJ eats wrestlers for breakfast. Sherk has trouble finishing people and I think BJ has the best chin out of anyone that Sherk has ever faced…so finishing BJ will be very hard for Sherk to do. Penn’s skill level just cant be matched by Sherk! Simple as that. All BJ has to do is copme into the fight in Phenominal shape and he will retain the title.

That title means a lot to BJ and no one wants to be a 1 pump, chump! Expect to see an even better and more well conditioned version of BJ Penn against Sherk then we saw against Joe-Daddy…..and thats SCARY!

sounds like he’s back on the ‘roids.

hummm..Sherks comments don’t seem to be coming from such a dominate Champ. He doesn’t “Think” BJ can beat him. A fighter of his caliber should know these things.

At UFC 80…I loved. ” Sherk..ya dead. ”

then RoidBoy comes in thinking that he will pop off some smack talk..and Penn walks right back into the cage..extends his hand..and says..” It’s going to be a good fight “.. Sherk shaked his hand. So IMO Sherk looked more like a fool..BJ said what he said..and RoidBoy had nothing better to say than..” That’s not a real belt around your waist..” f’n cry me a river.

We all watched the rise of B.J now its time for the fall

SHERKS GONNA FUCK BJ UP… BJ’S A PUNK…GO SEAN!!

Roid rage!! He must be planning his must smothering lay and pray yet!

What happened to Kevin Kelly? He used to be all over these Sherk threads?

Sherk takes this by beat down in round 2. BJ seemed to be back-peddling in comments he made after his Stevenson fight saying that his beef with Sherk was nothing personal. Yeah right. I think BJ’s a little worried low knowing that Sherk is able to fight again.
Regardless of who wins, it’s going to be an awesome fight!

Sherk is just Lame. I will truly be Sick to my stomach if Sherks wins back the title from BJ. Having Sherk as champion is almost as bad as having Tim Sylvia as champion.

Noguerra and BJ better pull through

Having your these fighters hold the title in the UFC would look real good:

Heavyweight Champion: Noguerra
Light Heavyweighth : Rampage
Middleweight: Hendo or Silva, can you really go wrong?
Welterweight champion: GSP
Lightweight champion: BJ Penn

Now that is an impressive list of fighters to have representing each weight class!

i dont reli care for either bj or sherk but if i had to put money on it, i wud go bj

so BJ talks crap, at least he dnt eat it. yeah sherk is a cardio freak - i wonder how he got that way. Should be a good fight. I already know Sherks game plan.

sherk can only go 5. Finish somebody bi*&h

BJ is screwed. And if your so confident let go to bet.com and load up son. I know who takes this fight. BJ is scared and trying to get into his head. BJ is a one pump chump.

I’d love to see BJ KO Sherk but the betting man in me says Sherk has enough savvy and strength to weather the early storm…

Then when the cardio advantage kicks in its TKO via ground and pound.

Sherk TKO in the 4th.

Those aboved named would for sure..provide some sick title defenses..and if Dana can keep current Champs off his reality show..let’s speed up those title defenses.

Anderson Silva in 2007 was the only one who is escused. He fought very often.

The only way I can honestly see Sherk winning is by decision. And that is unlikely with how well BJ has been shape lately. I’m sorry sherk fans but when BJ comes in motivated and in shape, there really is no one that can hang with him. BJ’s stand up is way better than sherk’s and his BJJ is off the charts and he has amazing takedown defense. I really expect BJ to put sherk away. I know sherk says no one hass ever really hurt him in a fight but that was a legitimate ref stoppage when he lost to GSP. I fully expect BJ to hold that belt as long as he wants it. Sherk is the only real threat to bj in the light weight division. The only thing SHerk has an advantage on BJ is strength.

Sherk’s strength and explosiveness could give BJ a little trouble, but BJ’s striking and ground game will probably prevail.

Come on . . . BJ back peddling LoL, The “Sherk ya dead” was strictly FIGHT PROMO!!! And BJ goes back to shake his hand because he doesnt want to appear like the bad guy in this situation, he wants Sherk to play that roll without knowing it. Sherk would have been smart to not say anything at all and just leave BJ’s comment out there for the world to speculate on. Instead he did just what BJ wanted him to and mumbled through some dumb incoherent statement about “Thats my belt, weyyyyyyy, f*cking cry baby!” BJ has faught at 205 against an undefeated fighter overseas (not close to home) and that fighter had just knocked out Rich Franklin and BJ knew he could be in better shape and BJ took Lyotto the distance . . . Scared of a midget 155lb dude, not very likely man.

All the cardio in the world won’t help when your face is turning purple. He’ll weather the storm and wait for Sherk to mess up and give up his back.

BJ via rear naked at 3 minute in 2nd round.

sherk is a clone of matt hughes, except not as skilled. should be an interesting fight. i will be very impressed if BJ can choke sherk out. i dont think that we’ll happen though bc sherks neck is so damn girth. i can see Bj winning by some sort of arm submission or i can see BJ gassing in the 4th or 5th round. I dont see this fight ending in a knockout. Prediction: Sherk by decision but i really want to see BJ win

I like this matchup. Bet you will see Shrek take the same approach to this match as Hughes did. Would like to see BJ win just so he gets cocky enough to move up to heavier weight class and squares off with GSP.

Personally feel GSP won the first fight in a split decision, but would like to see the two go at it again. If it ever does happen again…think GSP will pull off a much more convincing win.

As far as BJ/Shrek it is a toss up. Depends on who is capable of fighting their match and making their opponent fight their fight.

I will have to agree with that. I could see Sherks face turning purple… BJ eventually takes every wrestlers back. Sherk couldnt finish Florian, and BJ has a phenominal Jaw!

Wow I love it. This is about as polarized as a matchup has been in a while. I think that BJ is a punk, but he is the more exciting fighter by a long shot, so I hope he wins.

I still don’t see BJ getting into 5 round shape, so he’ll have to finish Sherk off in less than 3 rounds if he wants to win. If it goes more than 3 I think Sherk will win a la Matt Hughes v Penn II.

Can’t wait to see it though. I think BJ will win.

Man he doesn’t sound too confident, “It’s not going to be an easy fight for him by any means and he’s going to have to pay for his comments so we’ll see. He’s not going to walk through me and I don’t think he’s going to beat me to be honest with you”. Sherk is a tough guy for sure, he’s only being finished once by gsp, if penn wins he’s be the second guy to finish sherk. Penn needs to beat sherk within 2 or 3 rounds because if it goes past 3 I think he runs the chance of losing a decision.

Sherk will do his usual thing of trying to get the take down. If he does get it, he won’t do anything but roll around with BJ and might get submitted while doing so. Or, they get stood up and he gets outpointed by strikes by BJ. Sherk has never proven he can finish a fight. He questions BJ’s stamina, what about his ability to finish a fight? All he does is roll around and hold. He doesn’t do any damage.

If it finishes early Penn
Later it goes better it gets for sherk the fact is BJ Penn hasnt fought a full five rounds in a long time..Caol Uno or Jens Pulver those two fights.When it goes later in his fights when hes confident thats when things start going bad for him

I’m bringing the heat and a lot less muscle mass!

This fight is obviously tough to call but if we look at all of their past fights, you have to go with BJ. I was in Sacramento when Sherk fought Franca. Every round was Sherk shooting a takedown and getting a knee in the face or placed in a guillotein, then blanketing Hermes for 4.5 more minutes. Anyone who saw BJ vs GSP knows that BJ’s wresting takedown defense is unparalled by anyone and his guard is amazing. Styles make fights and this fight is made for BJ to win.

I know MMA math doesn’t work but if you see how Sherk handled Hughes and GSP. He got worked big time. When u see Penn’s performance against Hughes and Penn, he did a lot better against them(beating Hughes once, a very close split decision against GSP, and a lost to Hughes, which he won 2 out of 3). If GSP can’t hold Penn on the ground, I doubt Sherk can. This leads me to believe that Penn will most likely win. I don’t think Sherk has the skills to put Penn away.

As PhilQNY said, The only way I can see Sherk winning is LNP for 5 rounds on a gassed Penn. Sherk knows how to keep a guy on the ground but I believe GSP is stronger and better at doing that, so I think as long as Penn isn’t gassed, he should be able to get back up. I’m curious to see of Penn gets on top of him, how good will Sherk on his back? Joe Stevenson has better BJJ and is better on his back.

Thx for the betting but..I only go as far as MMAplayground.

BJ didn’t back up..or look P#$%y IMO..He kept in Professional. While RoidBoy wanted flip his top..he could only shake the hand of the man who said he’s dead. If Sherk felt so disrespected..Why did he shake BJ’s hand??

Houston Alexander vs. James Irvin, Clay Guida vs. Samy Schiavo Added to UFC Fight Night 13 !!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with everything except that I dont even see Sherk being able to lay n pray on BJ for 5 rounds. As you pointed out Penn will be very tough for Sherk to control once on the ground. That doesnt just mean that he will be able to get up often, but it also means he wont just stay in his guard(which his world class anyway). Its gonna be hard for sherk to get Penn down, but once he does get him down thats were the fun begins, because his advanced skilled ju jitsu, and freak like flexability will allow him to find away and get Sherks back….and then his face will turn purple and he will tap to a rear naked choke. It shouldnt take longer then 3 rounds.

Look for Penn to explode out the gate like he did against Joe daddy. As coach on TUF Penn, always emphasiszed to his fighters to “be 1st”. Attack before they attack you. There will be no stalling, Bj is gonna go right after him…sherk will probably do the same….It will be entertaining!

phatmac? What spot are you watching?

As long as BJ’s conditioning is still up, he’s got this one.
Sean Sherk’s wins come in decisions. He just can’t finish. And making out with Hermes Franca’s backside for 25 minutes is no exeption. BJ has beaten Matt Hughes once, and came close with GSP, both of whom outright pounded on Sherk. And BJ is arguably better now and more focused than he was then. I can’t wait for this one.

Its funny how Sherk keeps saying he doesnt care what BJ say’s about him, but yet he brings it up all the time. And how could BJ not know that Sherk was at ringside when they announced he was going to be commentating on the fight a week or two before hand? I think BJ is is Sherks head and Sherk is letting it get to him, Just like a little girl.

WHATS ALL THIS I HEAR ABOUT THE RISE OF BJ HE HAS HAD 2 FIGHT WELL 3 IF U WANT TO COUNT TO BEAT DOWN FROM MATT HUGHES AND JENS LIL EVIL WAS WAY TO SMALL TO BE IN THAT FIGHT JO DADDY NEVER HAD A SHOT AND NOW SHERK WILL BUST BJ UP IN THE LATER ROUNDS NO QUESTION CARDO IS WAHTS GOING TO WIN THIS FIGHT I REALLY HOPE SHERK BUST THE HELL OUT OF BJ IM TIRED OF HEARING HIM TALK B/C THATS ALL IVE SEEN HIM!!!!!

REALLY? A champ that defended his belt once in that last 2 years AND got busted for steroids? Unless the fight takes place in Minnesota or a Major League Baseball clubhouse, the crowd will be rooting for BJ Penn (with the exception of a few muscle heads)

I never thought I would dislike a fighter more than I dislike Tim Sylvia and Matt Hughes, but I really can’t stand Sean Sherk anymore. He put the belt on the line only twice and he’s talking all this $hit, I lost all respect for him. If people wanna hate on Penn for being real, than they should hate on Sherk for his lack of title defenses and his cheating.

If I remember correctly, “Sherk…your dead” was one of BJ’s last comments, most likely the last thing he said before EXITING the octagon. Then Sherk comes waddling into the octagon looking for a mic, while BJ was already half way down the ramp on his way to his dressing room. Once BJ realized Sherk was in the octagon, BJ came running right back in. BJ didn’t back down. Neither of them did. Neither Sherk nor BJ are worried about the fight, they are both truely 100% confident that they will win.

BJ went to fight Machida, GSP, and Hughes. It was also rumored that Wanderlei Silva when he was the most feared fighter and BJ said he would fight him. This guy moved to 205 division to fight Machida. 50 lbs. above his original weight class. Let’s be real, why would BJ be afraid of Sean Sherk?

I think BJ said it was going to be a good fight to make Sean Sherk look like a jackass because Sherk was looking for a verbal fight.

i guess we’ll see if sherk performs at the same level when he isn’t juicing.

You guys, c’mon…there is no way that Sherk can win this fight. BJ is way to talented for Sherk. BJ is in the best shape of his life and will probably be in better shape for Sherk than he was for Joe. Like BJ or not as a person, the guy is going to BEAT Sherk.

i have to say this should be a good fight. i like bj though, he has much more to work with than sherk. i think people don’t realize how big a difference steroids makes. maybe you should just ask shawn merriman…the only highlights you see of him are him getting put on his rump! i think all the sherk lovers on this site will be sadly disappointed when they see sherk doesn’t have that great cardio he once did. it will be a close fight, probably won’t go the distance though and b/c bj has more skills he might have the advantage in later rounds when BOTH men are pretty gassed. i say bj, probably round 3 via the classic rear naked choke or even better ground and pound.

Not a great fan of either guy but after ufc 80 looking forward to this one. I pick bj to win just cos he looked impressive at 80 destroying stevenson. also gave gsp a hell of a lot more trouble than sherk did. , gsp dominated him. anything can happen but i just think penn got this one…

Does everyone here think that BJ is gonna gas. He knows that his cardio was not exactly top-notch and has taken great lengths to correct that by changing his diet and working harder than he ever has. This was obvious when you saw him beat Stevenson. IMO i think that if BJ worked on pure conditioning for this fight he would still win because lets be honest people, Sherk is not nearly as good as BJ on the ground or standing up. his skills are garbage compared to BJ’s. Sherk couldn’t beat Florian or Franca and those guys were tiny compared to him strength wise. He layed there and held them down. The odd time he’d get side control but that was it. BJ has this in the bag if his cardio is as good as it was against Stevenson.

Look at who he has stepped into the ring with (and he, BJ, has demanded most if not all of the fights with huge opponents) He hasnt faught guys as tiny as Pulver, Stevenson, and Sherk in years. To BJ the 155ers are a joke and just warm ups to get him into great shape for the Welter weight class, where the real fighters are and where BJ belongs and will make his home for a long time! Sherks a midget!! And without Roids he’s not even a worthy midget of a match with Penn!

y is sherk so pissy. is it that time of month again? he doesn’t finsh fights. he lays on guys 4 25minutes. never finshes unless he is put in there with a crappy fighter. i’m glad he had the belt taken away. he sucks. tell him 2 go join WWE or TNA. i bet he would b better at that then MMA. UFC let sherk go. i’d rather sleep then watch him he is just so boring. i’m tired just thinking about him fighting again. if sherk is in a good fight the other fighter makes it good not sherk. and was he having roid rage at the last ufc event he sure seemed all worked up over nothing. settle down man and lay off the juice. his nickname should freak. cause he looked like he was about 2 freak out at the last ufc

REALLY? A champ that defended his belt once in that last 2 years AND got busted for steroids?

Unless the fight takes place in Minnesota or a Major League Baseball clubhouse, the crowd will be rooting for BJ Penn (with the exception of a few muscle heads)[/quote]

hay i’m from minnesota and i’ll b going 4 penn. sherk sucks don’t judge us all on him come on!

I hope Sherk smashs BJ. Lift Sherk and take what belongs to you!!

How does the belt belong to him? Sherk cheated, so he deserved it when he got stripped(the stripping was way too late in my opinion). Even if h didn’t knowingly take the roids, as a champ he should have manned up and absorbed the consequences. He’s for sure not a champion in my eyes. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, 2 title fights in two years just doesn’t cut it. There’s so many up and coming fighters that deserve a title shot. It’s partially Dana White and Joe Silva’s fult too. But two title defenses in two years is ridiculous..This ain’t boxing.

i think this is what u would call mmmm idk ROID RAGE!!!!

atta boy JIMBO!!!

Roid Rage, Roid Rage. They should test Sherk before the fight to just to make sure! BJ sucking out all of Sherk’s blood.

[quote comment=”285425″]The only way I can honestly see Sherk winning is by decision. And that is unlikely with how well BJ has been shape lately. I’m sorry sherk fans but when BJ comes in motivated and in shape, there really is no one that can hang with him. BJ’s stand up is way better than sherk’s and his BJJ is off the charts and he has amazing takedown defense. I really expect BJ to put sherk away. I know sherk says no one hass ever really hurt him in a fight but that was a legitimate ref stoppage when he lost to GSP. I fully expect BJ to hold that belt as long as he wants it. Sherk is the only real threat to bj in the light weight division. The only thing SHerk has an advantage on BJ is strength.[/quote]
And conditioning, two things that can win the fight if it goes past the 2nd round. Sherk has more than a hard enough head to withstand BJ’s early flury and after that Sherk will gas BJ. It’s hard to believe Sherk would finish a fight, but I can’t see BJ lasting 5 rounds at Sherk’s pace. I would have to say Sherk win in the 4th by ref stoppage.

I’d really like to see Sherk beat Penn. Then the roid debate will continue forever and BJ will have all the excuses he could ever want.

Then again, if Penn wins I’ll be just as happy. All I really care to see is a quality match and I think this one has all the makings…

[quote comment=”285423″][quote comment=”285399″][quote comment=”285369″]hummm..Sherks comments don’t seem to be coming from such a dominate Champ. He doesn’t “Think” BJ can beat him. A fighter of his caliber should know these things.

At UFC 80…I loved. ” Sherk..ya dead. ”

then RoidBoy comes in thinking that he will pop off some smack talk..and Penn walks right back into the cage..extends his hand..and says..” It’s going to be a good fight “.. Sherk shaked his hand. So IMO Sherk looked more like a fool..BJ said what he said..and RoidBoy had nothing better to say than..” That’s not a real belt around your waist..” f’n cry me a river.[/quote]

Sherk is just Lame. I will truly be Sick to my stomach if Sherks wins back the title from BJ. Having Sherk as champion is almost as bad as having Tim Sylvia as champion.

Noguerra and BJ better pull through

Having your these fighters hold the title in the UFC would look real good:

Heavyweight Champion: Noguerra
Light Heavyweighth : Rampage
Middleweight: Hendo or Silva, can you really go wrong?
Welterweight champion: GSP
Lightweight champion: BJ Penn

Now that is an impressive list of fighters to have representing each weight class![/quote]

I would vomit on myself if Timmy and Sherk both held UFC gold at the same time..it jsut makes my stomach uneasy.

Those aboved named would for sure..provide some sick title defenses..and if Dana can keep current Champs off his reality show..let’s speed up those title defenses.

Anderson Silva in 2007 was the only one who is escused. He fought very often.[/quote]
GSP also fought 3 times in 2007.

Sherk’s only chance aside from a flash KO is a lay-and-pray decision. Sherk hasn’t TKO’d anybody in his last 8 fights. His last TKO came in a minor league. BJ has never been submitted in his career, and he’s fought Uno, Pulver, Gomi, Serra, Hughes, GSP, Machida, and Joe Daddy. There’s no way he’s getting submitted by Sean.
