“… I know there are a lot of people out there doing steroids, cheating and every time I run into one of them, I’m going to call them on it and then I’m going to beat the shit out of them.… It’s going to be a historic night because all the kids out there will realize that you can do it with just hard work alone … he wants to say he has heart and all this different shit, but you can’t confuse steroids with heart…. It’s two different things, a guy with heart is a guy doing it with blood, sweat and tears, waking up with the sore back, the sore body.… What would happen in the old days when you get caught with a couple of aces up your sleeve, they kill the guy right there and that’s why I say Sean Sherk is dead….”
A fired up UFC Lightweight Champion, BJ Penn, talks about his upcoming title defense against Sean Sherk at UFC 84: “Ill Will” at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 24. “The Muscle Shark” tested positive for steroids after his win against Hermes Franca at UFC 73: “Stacked” in July 2007 and has not competed since because of a six-month suspension. Penn doesn’t like steroids or steroid users very much … this one is personal.

I think BJ will win!
think.? hell i know he’ll win! this fight is indeed geting very personal.
Sherk is going to win.
hahahahahahahahahahaha….you cant be serious, but lets do the math for fun..sherk couldnt finish florian, lost to matt hughes who bj destroyed the first time they fought,sherk couldny finsh franca even when he was juiced, hes a chump punk bitch who should of got the boot from the ufc…bj penn late 2nd or mid 3rd round victory…will not go to the judges…ill pray for you sean the steroid shark sherk
With respect to Hughes, lets not forget that Penn got destroyed in the second fight. Say what you want about the earlier rounds and his broken rib. If he even had a broken rib, it was because Hughes broke it, right before he smashed his face about 20 times.
Natural Shadow, BJ was destroying hughes the 2nd fight, hughes couldnt stand up with him, he couldnt even take him down. The only reason hughes won was because when BJ reversed hughes and then he tore his ribs, hughes did not have any effect on BJ’s ribs.
Dude a loss is a loss, you’ve got to accept it regardless. I know Penn could probably take Hughes in the rubber match but Penn still has a loss on his record. Now if Penn loses to Sherk, there still should be no excuses and the same goes for the opposite. A loss is a loss and at the end of the day you can only add it to experience, like don’t over exert yourself in a fight. If you injured yourself in a fight its still your problem for not knowing your own limitations, but I still would say that Penn never gave up even with broken ribs. My hats off to fighters like that. Anyway Sherk 4th by GnP.
Sherk! you are going to see what a fighter is all about son! on the ground and all around.
So Kenny Florian, Hermes Franca, Nick Diaz, Matt Hughes, GSP are not complete fighters?
BJ speaks the truth!!
That is the greatest quote ever. You know BJ is all business now. BJ by amputation!
how can any fight fans not LOVE BJ PENN. He should be in every single fans top 5! He always speaks out about everything and keeps it real. He talks trash and backs it up (unlike Tito). I dont understand how some fans can actually hate on him. He is one of the most skilled fighters on this planet and has a great personality for the sport! He is absolutely right about sherk and I cant wait to show the world that he is on another level.
“In the old days u got killed for getting cuaght with an ace up your sleeve…sean Sherk, ya dead”…Now thats a classic quote.
Tune in Monday on mmamania.com when sean sherk is sure to fire back with some lame George-bush-like, stuttering come back, that makes no sense what soever. I really cant wait till UFC 84!
I hate BJ. He’s an arrogant spoilt brat. I also think he’s challenged in the IQ stakes, a bad combination….
BJ is a fucking moron. So is anyone who thinks Sherk roided.
I pray that Sherk shuts that cocky loudmouth up.
You know I give Sherk the benefit of the doubt due to CSAC’s handling of the test, and the politics behind it. But calling people moron’s for believing he roided is a bit silly. He tested positive, that’s why people believe it. Right or wrong.
And I think BJ will take this. But hey anything can happen, Sherk isn’t a pushover.
I am with you dude. Sherk is not a roider. It was one of those stupid things and BJ is just talking shit like he is always does. He is a pretty ignorant dude and I think Sherk is gonna beat him.
BJ talks because he can back his shit up.
Luke - Is it necessary to use such foul words to get your point across?
I think Sherk probably didn’t intentionally cheat but you have to look at what happened.
If he had been intentionally juicing do you think he’s just going to come out with it? No. He’s going to hire a lawyer who specialises in getting other steroid users off and make a bit fuss about it all.
You have to look at the facts. The dude tested positive.
You will be surprised. Sherk could upset. He’s pretty fast and accurate.
