just want somebody to beat him

Maybe his defense will show Sean Sherk UFC all access..show him snacking on some organic lettuce..and popping 22 vitamens and minerals daily..I just happy to know the deal already. I tired of this red light in the Lw division. I fall in the bracket..guilty as charged..but he got the Johnnie Crok..of sports doping..I would’nt be surprised.

i was waiting for this blogg all morning!!! .. .. does anybody think were going to see BJ vs Sherk?

I hope we see BJ vs Sherk. Man I hope he passes and learns how to cycle his roids better :>

i can’t wait to hear what happens…keep us updated!

Its about damn time this date has come. It is now time for Sean Sherk to face is fate. At this point in time, I am hoping that he is guitly for the sole reason that he put this exciting division on hold. The (argueably) 2 most exciting divsions in the UFC, LW and WW, have had thier titles be on hold for a long period of time, especially WW.

But then again, if he is SOMEHOW found to be innocent, I will be upset with the system, because it would have been the system, not Sherk, who had the division on hold.

In my personal opinion, I expect him to be found guilty today and stipped of the title. Just from seeing that episode of All Access, there is no way that I would believe that Sherk was ‘unknowingly’ putting anything into his body. He seems so obsessive about his nutrition, that he probably examines each and every one of his bowel movements to see exactly what, and how much of it has just left his body. That way he can adjust his vitamin and uncooked organic food intake accordingly. (Sorry for putting that image in your mind, especially so early…..)

Adam Smith..got caught with two differents of roids..and coke and marijuana in his system..made only $500 and was fined like $2000..and suspened for a year..which is good for him..I don’t think he can afford to fight at the rate he is going.

Urine analysis as a method of detecting nandrolone abuse has recently become somewhat controversial, following studies by the University of Aberdeen showing that the metabolite product can also show up in urine in quantities above the upper limit from a combination of high-protein diets utilising the legal nutritional supplement creatine and hard cardiovascular exercise. The reason for this unexpected result has not been determined. Another possible (though unlikely) reason for a false positive result is the consumption of beef from cattle treated with steroids including nandrolone. Heavy consumption of the essential amino acid lysine could also force a negg test result.

He needs to face the facts as stated above and let the division get on with another champion. I don’t see how the commision is going to reverse their decision. No matter how the banned substance got in his system, it is illegal and he should do what he has to do in the future to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I’m sure he is well aware of what he is ingesting.

His lawyer is going to get him off. Wish he got guilty but Sherk covered himself too good.

..are you representing Sherk at the appeal..he could use you on his side.

nandrolone is also found in many protein builder drinks from smaller more agressive companies who like to slip a little extra in. This is well known.

In addition, the nandrolone metabolite can stay in the system 6 months, meaning even if he followed a strict pre-fight protocol of avoiding suspect supplements, it wouldn’t help the spiked protein drink.

he should win the appeal.

you do the crime you do the time……

If it’s in his system, no matter how it got there, he’s done. There have been entirely too many athletes who test positive and claim to not know what they were taking (I thought it was flaxseed oil and arthritis balm). These people make their living with their bodies. If they don’t know what’s going into them, then they are monumentally stupid. If they take some non-FDA approved supplement from Spike at their local gym and it produces a positive test, then they are monumentally stupid for taking it. As much attention as Sherk paid to what he was eating and ingesting, I find it almost impossible to believe that this was an accident or the result of hormone-laden beef. The positive test will be upheld, Sherk will be out for a year, and at his age, his career will be about dead.

if he’s guilty his one year suspension should start now rather then after the franca fight. It seems like this dude has had the title for a longggg time for only one title defense.

http://www.mmanews.com/pride/Dan-Henderson-Confirmed-For-PRIDE-Return-In-Las-Vegas.html

Does it really matter whether they suspend him or not? BJ Penn was just going to work him anyway.

if he’s guilty his one year suspension should start now rather then after the franca fight. It seems like this dude has had the title for a longggg time for only one title defense.

What about time already served?

man, I was so happy when i saw your post, I thought he might me fighting at MW. Then I went to the site….what a disappointment….1 year late bro…I hate you,,,,lol

What about time already served?

The suspension doesn’t begin until after the appeal process is complete. Franca knew he cheated and would not be cleared so he chose to forego his appeal and begin serving his suspension immediately. Sherk is attempting to lawyer his way out of his two positive tests through appeals, so his suspension won’t officially begin until his positive test is confirmed this afternoon.

Oh, I’m sorry I thought this was America. He could of been making money this whole time.

Dude look again, this article was dated back in December 06 and it says Dan will fight in Febuary 07, which was about 9 months ago!!!!

Pride is gone, if it does ever come back, it will not be anytime soon.

Its about damn time this date has come. It is now time for Sean Sherk to face is fate.

That way he can adjust his vitamin and uncooked organic food intake accordingly. (Sorry for putting that image in your mind, especially so early…..)

I couldn’t have put it better myself. Sherk has held up the LW title for 2 years now, only defending it once…. I hope this a-whole is guilty.

Mania please report the outcome as soon as you know about it. What time do you think you will report what happens MANIA?

The suspension doesn’t begin until after the appeal process is complete. Franca knew he cheated and would not be cleared so he chose to forego his appeal and begin serving his suspension immediately. Sherk is attempting to lawyer his way out of his two positive tests through appeals, so his suspension won’t officially begin until his positive test is confirmed this afternoon.

I don’t think so, in America if you are found guilty of something and given a prison sentence they typically deduct time already served in any case where you were denied bail. So for example, if your sentenced to 3 months, and you’ve already been imprisoned for 1, then you would only have to serve 2 from the time of sentencing. If anybody here is a lawyer, please confirm or deny this.

In any case, Sherk has been suspended since July, that would count towards his 1 year.

He’s right pride is no more. Dan Henderson should consider dropping down to 185lbs. He has a good chance to use some of his strengths against a tough Anderson Silva. Dan was never a true 205 anyway.

Are you on drugs??? That was last Feb…which i think makes it the Wandi Silva fight which he won!

Re: My last statement….

I think it is safe to say that MANIA will know about it, should it happen, and i don’t think they’ll hold back on ANY Hendo info…

I think that was a case of you seeing what you (We All) wanted to see :)

Are you on drugs??? That was last Feb…which i think makes it the Wandi Silva fight which he won!

You guys are tough on him! Simple mistake. He got excited and jumped the gun. (Happens to alot of Guys!!!)

I am one of the few who is pulling for Sean Sherk. We have had extensive back and forth blogs over this topic since mid-July. My whole thing is, until someone can beat him, he is the champion. All of you who believe ground fighting and setting up an attack by “LNP” just don’t understand the entire landscape that MMA is about.

BJ Penn versus Sean Sherk is something I absolutely look forward to seeing. Do not get me wrong, I am furious that Sherk’s ordeal is delaying the LW division, but if his ruling is over turned, I can easily forgive him.

My only comparison to Sherk would be an NFL team that plays hard nosed football and pounds the ball via running attack. The idea is to wear your opponent down until he cannot take it anymore and folds up. All of you are looking for the 80 yard TD pass because it’s pretty. Not all MMA fights have to be on the feet throwing haymakers.

Oh yeh… The Sean Debate… Roids or not, that Mo Fo trains HARDDDDDDD!!!!!!

I’ll bet that he aint the only one either….But i don’t know too much about Roids, seems you can accumilate it naturally through legal energie drinks etc, i think the CASC needs to look at more detailed tests or something.

what does “LNP” stand for?

Lay ‘n Pray. And if you don’t know something that elementary, then maybe you should hold off complaining about more complex subjects, like drug suspensions.

..thanks bro… sorry guys..

owned..

Sherk is the man either way.

It’s hilarious that Baroni is even appealing. C’mon it’s Team Hammer House of course he’s on ’roids. Maybe after this Sherk can join Coleman, Randleman and Baroni at Team Hammer House. Seems like a good fit.

i was waiting for this blogg all morning!!! .. .. does anybody think were going to see BJ vs Sherk?

dude I hope so, i mean not only by watching the way he trains and eats but also the way Dana talked about him not wanting to step into the casino because of the smoke, thats hardcore taking care of your body, I really dont think that he would of taken anything, besides that drug that he allegedly took, I heard we already have a certain amount of it in our bodies that its supposed to be like a 4 or 5 and that if someone temperd with it by taking drugs it would bump up to 12 or 13 no matter how much of the drug you use it would automatically move to that high, Sherk was on “8 or 9”, it could very well be that hes a freak of nature and all those years of training and just genes gave him extra nandrolone. Im rooting for him. and im going to UFC79 i would love to see this fight added to the card Sherk vs Penn, damn with Liddell vs Silva and Hughes vs Serra cant wait

Any word on this yet? Hearing was at nine.

Has anyone ever won an appeal? Maybe a reduction of sentence, but I can’t remember any athlete failing a drug test and winning the appeal.

8 or 9 is high. Doesn’t the Olympic guys, I think it’s WADA (World Anti-doping Agency) consider anything above 4 a positive test. No wait, according to Wikipedia “The International Olympic Committee has set a limit of 2 ng per ml of urine as the upper limit, beyond which an athlete is suspected of doping.”

So if the limit is 2ng and Sean tested at 8 or 9 I’m thinking someone finished their cycle too late. I would not be surprised though if they spun some bs about him being a mutant and having freakishly high levels. If they do clear him let’s hope BJ dethrones him.

What’s the upper limit for nandrolone according to the CSAC. Is it the same as the IOC?

It is known however that in certain cases a person can test above 5ng and it will be a false positive for steroid abuse. There have been many cases where an athlete combines an extremely active lifestyle with legal supplements and a high protein diet that can produce a higher than normal level. I don’t see how they can suspend him for a test that has been known to be inaccurate.

Just as lie detector tests are not admissible in court because they are unreliable, they are still right most of the time. Its the reasonable doubt that makes these tests inadmissible. I believe in Sherks case, because of his lifestyle, there is plenty of reasonable doubt. Innocent until proven guilty, but right now Sherk is trying to prove his innocence. Can the CSAC prove that their test is accurate? I think not. Oh by the way, Sherk did pass a lie detector test about the steroid abuse.

Has anyone ever won an appeal? Maybe a reduction of sentence, but I can’t remember any athlete failing a drug test and winning the appeal.

I believe Nate Marquart won his. His level was around 49ng if I remember correctly.

Watching that behind the scenes with Sherk, where they show his training… if you know anything about training.. you couldn’t believe what you were seeing. He was taking it to a whole new level. It would be so great if all his vitamins, organic veggies… etc, were the only fuel he had in him. Looking back, it makes much more sense now… Done.

I hate Sean Sherk. hes a BORING fighter and has a pin your opponent for the duration of the fight style. you cant fight when someone is layying on top of you. i hope hes GUILTY so we can open up the exciting lightweight division. anyone else excited to see Guida v. Huerta. that has great fight written all over it! I HATE SHERK!!!

Lay "n Pray. And if you don’t know something that elementary, then maybe you should hold off complaining about more complex subjects, like drug suspensions.

Well KO king, MMA isnt allways about knocking the other person out dude. I think the more exciting matches are the chess matches, when each person is waiting for the right exact moment to attack and counter their opponent. Yeah Boyeee!!

When are ye gonna find out? I’m dying to know. I hope he’s innocent so he can kick BJ ass. Penn is an animal but I’d just prefer Sherk any day

As I said several comments above this one

“My only comparison to Sherk would be an NFL team that plays hard nosed football and pounds the ball via running attack.

Excellent work Bust Yo Face

Fact is, if you don’t want a guy on top of you “LNP” then don’t let him take you down to the floor.

If you don’t wan’t a team scoring points on you, then f-ing stop them with defense.

Bunch of bafoons with this nonsense wah wah Sherk is a product of the “LNP”. I love MMA because we witness a wide range of disciplines. I love boxing, I do but it doesn’t offer what MMA does.

I do like the ground game, but not Sherks. I do find him boring, and if was not for his strength he would not be all that at all. I actually thought Florian was more deserving of a title shot than Stevenson. I see that Baroni is mentioned, that fight was a war, pretty action packed, but I cannot see how he can look like that without a little help.

Your right about Florian deserving it more than Stevenson. However, Sherk already destroied Florian. Maybe UFC thought it was time for some fresh meat

Here’s my take. I don’t think he took a steroid, but I do believe the metabolite was in an OTC supplement he took. The detection time for the nandrolone metabolite is 17-18 months and 11-12 months if he took the faster acting version (i.e. durabolin). If that were true, he would have tested positive for the Kenny Florian fight as the time difference between the fights was 9 months. Secondly the level of the test for 12ng/dl, pretty low for a steroid test, compared to 50ng/dl that was found in Royce Gracie’s test.

I hope he is find guilty..lets start moving with Lw..BJ should of been fighting for the title at ufc 78..cuz of this.

Any word on this yet? Hearing was at nine.

Looks like he won his appeal. Check this out.

im pissed im going to UFC 78 and i think Dana should have stripped Sherk no matter what and have BJ fight Stevenson for the title. If Sherk happens to win his appeal they he could have fought the winner of the fight

Here’s the meeting agenda.

http://www.dca.ca.gov/csac/about_us/meetings/20071031_agenda.pdf

I really hope Sherk gets this overturned. I am a big big big Sean Sherk fan, and I think it will be better for the UFC if Sherk’s appeal gets overturned.

But in all honesty, I don’t think it will.

If he wins his appeal..CSAC should be fined and held accountable for these months of waiting.

He didn’t destroy Florian. He held him down and bled on him for 20 out of 25 minutes.

Do you remember if it was a Unanimous or Split decision?

LOLOLOLOL that’s 2006. PRIDE 33 Hendserson vs Wandi

I think that the funniest part about it is that you thought the biggest news in that article was that Dan Henderson was fighting, when is said that it was a PRIDE FC event. PRIDE resufacing as an organization, stealing Hendo from the UFC, and putting on an event on American soil are all WAY bigger deals then ‘Hendo fights in Feb’. That was excellent for a good laugh though!

Hendo is supposedly rumored to be fighting at 185 in December. Maybe Anderson Silva? Lets pray so.

I agree! I really like Guida in this one, that dude is a true contender. I hope I don’t see that goof Sherk anymore. I know I will, however what he’s done for the UFC sucks! One title defence, and a LW Champ for two years??? Even if he’s innocent, should strip his Title anyways, because there would already be a new Champ if this SH*T did’nt happen. Fisher, Huerta, Guida….These guys don’t like laying around. Even Diego is moving down to LW. I hope he IS guilty, What a Goof!

Hendo is supposedly rumored to be fighting at 185 in December. Maybe Anderson Silva? Lets pray so.

Doubtful that he would get a title shot for first fight in new weight class

Even Diego is moving down to LW. I hope he IS guilty, What a Goof!

Is Diego really moving down? Can anyone confirm? If so thats great news

He didn’t destroy Florian. He held him down and bled on him for 20 out of 25 minutes.

If you click on Diego Sanchez on the left, it was a UFC Quick Quote like a month or two ago.

Any word yet? Still waiting.

Did it start at 12 for Sean Sherk? Or did it start at 12 for the other two guys?

I swear if Adam Smith gets his overturned and Sherk does not, I call a riot on those people.

If you click on Diego Sanchez on the left, it was a UFC Quick Quote like a month or two ago.

Thanks man. I’m a huge diego fan. i had no idea he was thinking about doing that

I’m really getting restless waiting for these appeal results. I might actully do some work to keep my mind off of it.

Holly Shit..its 3pm.. any word yet!!!!!

Hendo is supposedly rumored to be fighting at 185 in December. Maybe Anderson Silva? Lets pray so.

Why would it be doubtful? Who else in that division is ready right now to fight Anderson Silva? There is not even a real contender out there. I am almost 90% sure that the UFC does not want a Yushin/Anderson fight.

not yet….

If he wins his appeal..CSAC should be fined and held accountable for these months of waiting.

or pay him for making him look like a fool…

www.btls.com

Bubba The Love Sponge had a blog about 2-3 days ago saying he bumped into Hendo and he might be on the 79 card and might be fighting at 185.

its confirmed…
the verdict wasnt over turned..he still convicted and suspended..bye bye belt..hello bj..

Bubba The Love Sponge had a blog about 2-3 days ago saying he bumped into Hendo and he might be on the 79 card and might be fighting at 185.[/quote]

If henderson drops to 185..should he fight Silva off the bat..or have a warm up..

Hendo vs. either Eastman or Cote if he drops …. thats my guess

any word yet on the verdict?

wow, so many haters. i guess i’m one of the few who believes sherk is just a workhorse maniac, NOT a cheater. it just seems retarded for a guy to be so damn health conscious about what he puts in his body to turn around and cheat like that. on the one hand he does have kids and it’s well documented that he was fed up with the pay and schedule he had to make ends meet years ago, however once he got the title i find it hard to believe sean would be so stupid and unconfident of not on his skills, but himself in general.

i’m pulling for sean. i don’t think it benefits anyone if he gets burned for this. least of all his fam and kids.

Hendo vs. either Eastman or Cote if he drops …. thats my guess

Eastman is fighting in December for another promotion.

So rule him out.

Sherdog has a live radio show right now ….. maybe they will have it first?

Please give us the Verdict!!! Aaarrgh~! this is killing me.

I got to go Trick or treating soon and I am waiting for the decision to know if I should wear my Muscle Shark costume or should I wear my Tim Silvia the Wookie costume.

I don’t think he’s going to 185, but why wouldn’t he get an immediate title shot? He got an immediate title shot at 205, didn’t he. At 185 it would be another unification fight.

I got to go Trick or treating soon and I am waiting for the decision to know if I should wear my Muscle Shark costume or should I wear my Tim Silvia the Wookie costume.

    Big news. Dan Henderson announced possibly fighting on the UFC 79 card @ 185. I tried to post the link and source but keep getting blocked

NC-17: This news is a fabrication.

1st off, Dan Henderson is a BIG name fighter. He is a HUGE asset to the UFC because he can headline any pay per view card at either 185 lbs or 205 lbs. This is Henderson’s last fight on his current UFC contract. With that said, I believe that the UFC will put him up against another Big name opponent.

He WILL NOT be fighting at 185 lbs in december because there aren’t any big name opponents at 185 lbs that would be ready to fight in December. Franklin and Silva just fought, as did Okami and Mcdonald. That leaves only one possible opponent for him to face in that division, Nate marquardt. In my oppinion, I do not think Marquardt has a big enough NAME to entice Hendo into fighting him.

Also UFC 79 NEMESIS is already a stacked card, with Serra vs. hughes for the title and Wandy vs. Liddell. No way in the world that cheap ass Dana white includes Hendo on that card. He will never give us 3 main event worthy matches on the same card. It would be nice, but it would be bad business on the UFC’s part, and I can respect that.

Fighters that could be ready to fight in January or Febuary against Hendo are:

Shogun(if his knee heals by then)

Tito (Hendo doesn’t want to fight Tito because tito isn’t on his level and a win against Tito does nothing to get Hendo back in title contention.. I agree with that)

Machida (Personally, I hate Machida and I wouldnt rank him anywhere near the top 10, but the guy has millions of fans on his nutts because of his performances in other fights outside of the UFC…so his Name might be big enough to challenge Hendo)

Forrest Griffin (His heart alone gives him a chance against anyone)

Jardine (comming off a big win against the Iceman, a win against Hendo will have Jardine very close to a title shot)

or a fighter people always forget is part of the UFC roster Arona

is Phil Baroni going for the shamrock fight?

Looks more like an orge to me.

This is kind of off the subject, but the funniest thing… Next time you watch Tim in the octagon, Try making Chewbacca noises for sound effects. It is the funniest friggen thing. I was busting a gut the last fight.

Hendo vs. either Eastman or Cote if he drops …. thats my guess

U really think that the UFC is gonna waste dan Henderson’s last fight on his UFC contract to have him fight Marvin Eastman or Patrik Cote? r u outta your freakin mind?

Hendo is supposedly rumored to be fighting at 185 in December. Maybe Anderson Silva? Lets pray so.

Doubtful that he would get a title shot for first fight in new weight class

why is that doubtful He is the reigning pride champion at that wieght class it would be another unification bout

ogre

U really think that the UFC is gonna waste dan Henderson’s last fight on his UFC contract to have him fight Marvin Eastman or Patrik Cote? r u outta your freakin mind?

Ur right John..there isn’t no other fight to market and that we all want to see. Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson.

This is the only match up for Silva that he won’t be the clear cut favorite..I think he would beat him now..if doing so would cement his legacy as the best ufc Mw champ ever.

its 4 o clock and no word yet…bullshit… so your trying to say they are still in court right now!! dont think so…sombody had to of been their to spread the word… this is pathetic

I don’t think they would put a 185 unification bout on a card that doesn’t need more star power. It would be overshadowed by Chuck/Wandy and the anticipated Serra/Hughes fight that will put a cap on TUF 6. I could see him signing a new contract soon and getting a tune-up at 185 before he takes on Silva in Feb or March. 8.5 weeks, from now, for either man to get ready for that big of a fight is kinda pushing it.

THE ONLY REASON DAN HENDERSON WOULD DROP BACK TO 185 WOULD BE TO FIGHT ANDERSON SILVA TO UNIFY THE TITLE. To talk about ANY other opponent for Hendo at 185 is just stupid. (Except for Franklin if he beat Silva last fight and Franklin and Hendo were coaches for next TUF season – but too bad for us, that didn’t happen)

It’s 4pm..1pm pacific time…what’s the verdict!

My guess is we won’t here anything until the meeting ends completely. It started at 12 EST (9 PST)

Heres the agenda for the day … pretty lengthy

I want to know before I leave work.

you got a source on that? Ive heard that he wants to stay at 205.

Hendo is supposedly rumored to be fighting at 185 in December. Maybe Anderson Silva? Lets pray so.

Doubtful that he would get a title shot for first fight in new weight class

 lets not forget they asked him to drop so they can UNIFY the titles so he would get the shot right away

Urine analysis as a method of detecting nandrolone abuse has recently become somewhat controversial, following studies by the University of Aberdeen showing that the metabolite product can also show up in urine in quantities above the upper limit from a combination of high-protein diets utilising the legal nutritional supplement creatine and hard cardiovascular exercise. The reason for this unexpected result has not been determined. Another possible (though unlikely) reason for a false positive result is the consumption of beef from cattle treated with steroids including nandrolone. Heavy consumption of the essential amino acid lysine could also force a negg test result.

If I ever take steroids I’m asking you!…lol… I was wondering about this, thanks for the info

I just realized, their doing this at 9:00a.m. Pacific time. Im in EST. Damn so for me they didn’t start until noon. My bad.

According to Sherdog radio, case has been delayed yet again…

Sherdog just said that they have heard nothing but hope to hear something before they go off the air.

Looks like he won his appeal. Check this out.

That’s not the ruling, it’s dated September 10th… what’s wrong with you? No drinking or bong hits until happy hour ok?

Even Diego is moving down to LW. I hope he IS guilty, What a Goof!

Is Diego really moving down? Can anyone confirm? If so thats great news

That’s some big time suck weight for Diego… if anyone can handle that drastic a weight cut it’s him though.

The Sherk steroid odyssey continues … another hearing has been set a month from now. No ruling until Nov 13th at the earliest … that’ll be the next date. Issue was Jacobs submitted a packet on Friday which no one looked at. Since they didn’t look at it, he asked for another postponement. The package contained polygraph information and other shit which doesn’t matter. Sherk said he’s spent 20k in legal fees and is pretty pissed off about all this and “isn’t happy about the recess”. Well hey … neither are we. Phil Baroni is up next, but I’m not sticking around to blog the result. ******* cocksucking bullshit

Saw this on another site…hope it isn’t true…

“It was delayed until November 13th. They had some documents for Sherk’s case that they filed on friday, but they didnt’ get copied and distributed for the Athletic commission.”

Staying on topic, I hope Sherk gets fined and suspended for a year…. looks like the muscle shark is finally going to pay the piper.

He is a boring fighter to watch…. can’t wait to see BJ and Joe Daddy!

Rumor is delayed until Nov 13th

It is true. November 13 at the earliest

I’m hearing that they won’t make a decision til Nov 13 … sounds like we’ve got another 2 weeks.

what source? Thats f*cked up.

Nevermind I found it. Looks like its not just a rumor, its for real as reported on fightnetwork.com

Damn Sherk has really threw a blanket over the LW division.

Confirmed. Delayed to 13th of Nov. Lawyer got documents in on Friday and the CSAC messed up and didn’t get them distributed to all of their members.

Two more weeks of fun.

On the Hendo rumor. It was an interview on MMAWEEKLY 10/29. I posted this yesterday on a few threads, but whenever I tried to put the link up, my comment was blocked. I believe you can also find the interview on MMA TV

CSAC Postpones Sean Sherk Decision Until Nov. 13

News on Dan Henderson:

http://www.mmanews.com/ufc/Dan-Henderson-To-Fight-At-185-lbs.-On-UFC-79-Card.html

I posted this before, but was blocked. It looks like 185 will be his final destination. Thank goodness! Other than lindland and Paulo Filio, there is really no other competition for The Spider. Hendo may just be the shoe we were looking for to crush him. Only time will tell…

I’m so bummed, I can’t even convey it properly.

Once again, the LW division is held hostage…

:(

this sucks they should have stripped him and if he wins the appeal fight the champ

its on UFC.com Nov 13th

Now I wanna B*tch-slap Sherk even harder…HAHAHA

That’s some big time suck weight for Diego… if anyone can handle that drastic a weight cut it’s him though.

not sherks fault

20,000 in sherk’s legal fees isn’t that more than he got paid this pay scale is poo poo

20,000 in sherk’s legal fees isn’t that more than he got paid this pay scale is poo poo

yeah!

why am i being moderated all the time i don’t curse
i’m a good boy?!??! whats up mainia?

thats disappointing….2 more weeks to go

Considering Diego has fought at 185 effectively that is a bit of a cut…then again stevenson used to fight at 185 or 170? in KOTC.

 I would just like to state that Sherk is one of the most dominant fighters pound for pound and whether we like it or not he wins fights….I dont think penn or stevenson have even close to the power or stamina to keep up with him..and think about this i doubt penn can even come close to landing any sort of arm lock on him….And truth be told penn hasnt really impressed me lately…yea with the hughes penn rematch he put a nice little beating on hughes the first three round but did anyone think to tell him it was a five round fight ..the same if he fight sherk…and no i dont think stevenson is a legit threat to the top lightweights….not that there are a whole lot of them…..And people want to make fun of sherk for the baby food…they need to shut the h**l up and think about it there is a reason that babys are supposed to eat it…clean healthy food with little in the way of excess crap unlike a lot of stuff that people eat….A little unconventional but hey it works….

Damn Sherk has really threw a blanket over the LW division.

LOL
