Sean Sherk: BJ Penn is a 'pothead'

OMFG…how lame is Sean Sherk. How can a steroid user say anything against Penn. What a loser!!!

It seems pretty stupid to compare smoking pot with taking steroids. Sherk seems to be just trying to hype a potential fight versus Penn.

If this fight does happen, I see BJ winning the standup against Sherk in a convincing fashion, defending well against the takedown then finishing the fight when it eventually goes to the ground by submission.
The hype and trash talking will be a good buildup if Sherk fights BJ for the title.
If BJ has smoked some weed in the past,,,,,,,

yah and?? is that all you got ?

smoking pot is not going to help his fighting sherk

Both are against the law are they not ?
So I have to agree with Sherk on this one even if he does come off sounding like a little girl

yay, go sherk. He’s gonna pound BJ if BJ gets passed stevenson

Steriods vs Ganja? Sherk you’re on crack.

If BJ was caught with reefer in his system, they would do the same to him as Diaz I imagine. They are both against the law, but steroids is cheat. One thing that I have appreciated about UFC is, even though it is diffucult to catch everything, they try to enforce natural competition. Especially no Roid rage in the cage. So I have to disagree with Sherk.

sherk can say what he wants because he will pound bj to the ground once his suspension is served,but i must say stop talking sherk and just get it done in the octagon,i know that you are a better fighter than penn.

Don’t mind Sherk, its the roids talking. Roid Rage

Sean, get yourself a late Christmas present and go out and buy a gag ’cuz that was stupid.

I sure do hope those two can get in the octagon together at some point.

anyone get the feeling that joe stevenson is somewhere right now going…“hey, guys…um, hello?”

Who cars about pot, it doesn’t help you in the octagon. Steroids lead to muscle growth, pot leads to Taco Bell.

Sherk is going to smash BJ. It’s not like BJ is going to overpower him like Hughes and GSP did. Someone who trains as hard as Sherk must have incredible willpower and I think that’ll be enough to outwork BJ.

I agree with sherk. Both are currently against the law. Although Steroids are easy to = cheating. Is pot no different, maybe it helps guys relax prior to the fight (Get rid of some nerves). It has Medicinal uses so that means it actually does something to your body…

i have found a great topic to come back to.

How can shrek sit there and call out penn for weed. It does not make him fight any better, it might be illegal but.. why is it really ? does it make u better at an sport?

no

does it give u an competitive edge ?

def. not

Does steroids do that ?

def. yes

Even though still illegal.. both are totally different.

Penn would omaplata shrek high as a kite.

Did he really say “Reefer”? I don’t think anyones called it that since the 50’s.

anyone get the feeling that joe stevenson is somewhere right now going…“hey, guys…um, hello?”

lol, now that you mention it i can picture him saying that

I agree with sherk. Both are currently against the law. Although Steroids are easy to = cheating. Is pot no different, maybe it helps guys relax prior to the fight (Get rid of some nerves). It has Medicinal uses so that means it actually does something to your body…

1st of all sean sherk is just making an allegation of BJ being a “pothead”…theres no basis of facts… Secondly theres no comparison between a pothead and steroid user. Steroids are in a completely different league to pot. Pot before a fight would be highly unadvisable…as it impairs the judgement of the user. In fact pot has no benefits in training MMA…

Whoa whoa whoa…. We dont want to mess with no reefer addicts. haha

Sherk did illegal drugs to compete better. The guy is a goon. Hes got no legs to stand on. And I dont think Sherk should get an auto title shot. I cant wait to see what happens next. I wanna see a BJ interview of him just laughing at Sherk.

Crazy kids and their marijuana cigarettes. lol

I agree with sherk. Both are currently against the law. Although Steroids are easy to = cheating. Is pot no different, maybe it helps guys relax prior to the fight (Get rid of some nerves). It has Medicinal uses so that means it actually does something to your body…

Yeah but has BJ tested positive for it? Smoking pot = fine (unless you’re a tight ass). Smoking pot before a fight perhaps isn’t.

Love em or hate em…Sherk will beat BJ 9 out of 10 times. His work ethics is clearly there. Yes BJ is talented but he doesn’t come to fights 100% and relies on his God given talents to win. You can’t do that competing at this level. Sherk is too skilled to get caught in any of BJ’s move..Plus he will out hustle and wrestle the prodigy..Trust me!

This little war of words gets more ridiculous all the time. There might be some subtle effects of marijuana that aren’t necessarily bad for training, mild pain relief, maybe even breaking some of the monotony of long cardio sessions. But with the lack of objective studies on the matter, I find it very difficult to view marijuana as having a significant effect on performance, either negative or positive. However, the same can’t be said for roids or growth hormones, and even IF Sherk is innocent of all of that, the pot comment stands as one of the stupidest things I’ve heard from a fighter in quite awhile.

I agree with sherk.

I can’t see agreeing to an unproven assertion. remember Sherk tested positive for Roids. Penn hasn’t tested positive for pot to my knoweldge – and remember pot can stay in one’s system for 30-45 days if a chronic user (pun intended).

Sherk upped the ante from “Punk” to “Snitch” and potentially opened himself up to a slander charge

9 out of 10 times? That’s funny. Given how infrequently Sherk actually fights, 10 fights may take a decade even if the two only faced each other. If Sherk nut huggers are already playing the out hustle and out wrestle cards, they can’t be that confident. Out hustle and out wrestle = praying for a split decision. I can guarantee you that the Penn fans aren’t worrying about what the judges are going to say. They are trying to figure out which way BJ submits Sherk.

It’s too bad Sherk’s fights are so much less entertaining than the smack he runs.

Sherk isnt saying which is worse the fact is ..Pots illegal all there is to it…regardless of which is worse no crap steroids are worse for you but pot makes you more relaxed and impairs judgement which basically means you get the idea to go for a sub or something like that youll go for it which means possibly more offense out of a fighter…its possible that such attacks could catch an opponent off guard hence the diaz suspension …

Now that I know that BJ is a “pot head” I like him even more! He still can’t keep up with Joe Rogan when it comes to toking. Sherk sounds like a idiot.

Pot != performance enhancer
Steroids = performance enhancer

I don’t give a shit if penn is a “pothead”. It doesn’t help you’re performance, and anyone who says it does has no idea what he/she is talking about.

And polygraph tests are NOT perfect lie detectors. They measure you’re body’s nervous response that typically happens when telling lies (to put it simply).

I hope no one takes this seriously.

BTW, the diaz suspension, according to Tony Alamo, was because diaz smoked to null the pain. and that is a load. If it can’t keep my back from hurting, it can’t null the pain of a broken orbital bone

I think there is some basis to what Sherk is saying. For better or worse, people take pot because it benefits them. Stress reduction, enjoyment. . . who is to say those things don’t help a fighter train better or focus better during training?

BJ has better hands than GSP and will make Shroid cry like a munchkin like GSP did.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Eeeeeeeeeeee! Eeeeeeeeee!”

BJ has the takedown defense to make Shroid’s wrestling a non-issue. I see BJ knocking him out in the 2nd. That is unless Sherk summons his roid defense to absorb shots like the knee in his fight against Franca. Then BJ will have to win on points.

Yes pot can help you in a fight depending upon a users reaction to THC
DIEZ had THC levels out the roof like he was high right before his fight aginnst GOMI it made him take a punch more
just look at Nick diez whom i hate but love too cuz he brings it the ufc was stupid to get rid of him
but cum on you all know Hawains all smoke da ganja esp BJ
it was established awhiule back when Nick D was suspended because of the def. poss that pot can increase a persons gumption to fight, relax a fighter, (nerves) and make a fighter take more punches and kind of go forward no matter what.
Sherk is prop right and i bet BJ cant pass a lie detector high or not!!!

why am i constantly under moderation wtf???

they should call this fight “The War On Drugs”. see which drug is the best one out there, once and for all.

If any of you thinks that pot does’nt give you some advange,well i think your wrong.weed will help deal with pain.do you think you would respond the same when getting punched in the face high or sober.personally if i had the choice i’d wanna be high so it wouldn’t effect me the same.i’v been in fights sober,high and drunk.so saying it doesn’t help is wrong.ask anyone who’s smoked a lil and then threw down.i wish i was high right now.DAMN EMPLOYER TESTING!!

“1st of all sean sherk is just making an allegation of BJ being a “pothead”…theres no basis of facts… Secondly theres no comparison between a pothead and steroid user.

word, sherk needs to check his roid rage. he is trying to spin this into a steroids vs pot issue to make bj look bad and to make himself look not so bad in comparison. but bj has never been found guilty of having pot in his system before or after a fight and sean obviously has been found guilty of having steroids in his system post fight.

besides, if you didnt care about long term health complications, what would you take to supplement your training, pot or steroids. i think everyone would take steroids.

both are illegal, but steroids is soo much higher on the pussy scale.

BJ could sue Sherk for slander and win unless Sherk shows up with proof of his statements.

Whenever anyone accuses Sherk of roiding, all he can do is bend over and take it because he tested positive.

What a lame excuse Sherk, you see pot does not enhance strength, endurance, and physical condition as steroid does. What pot does is to relax your body and may also be use to reduce stress from hardwork or a bad day. I smoke pot after I workout to relax the muscles from overworking so it won’t be sore next day and still able to workout some more. I see no negative effects from pot while workin out and still in great condition. Roids messes up your brain chemistry making you edgy, cocky, and more prone anger or outbursts. Pot just makes you happy after all it’s natural, not like steroids which is synthetic. I can’t wait to see Sherk and Penn fight, this is war between pot and roids.

Um..well…like…..they say pot slows you down buuut…….. I mean…….like….. what was I saying??

Although pot is considered a recreational drug, it still has effects, none of which will help anyone inside the octagon.

Who cares…it`s greens. He`s burning some bud..his not getting pooked in the butt with horse juice..I smoke a L* than take one of his classes.

Besides the obvious differences in effects Sherk, remember YOU tested positive, BJ has not.
Look, name calling is name calling, passing or failing a test, that’s what ACTUALLY matters. Go home Sherk.
And BJ, don’t even get sucked into this guys shit, worry about Joe.
Man Sherk, don’t anger him, otherwise when he fights you he might actually try! Then you’r really introuble.

Like Sherk and his supplements, BJ can just say that one of his burritos was contaminated with weed. Grow some balls Sherk.

Sherk should play up the "you were CONVICTED of assaulting a cop, and yet dana dangles from your nards…you over-choked Jens, again dana dangles. However, Babalu? YOURE GONE!

Alls I got to say is that they get tested for both, after every fight, and BJ has yet to test positive. Also, refer stays in your system for a month. So, he hadn’t had any close to any of his fights. And most importantly, reefer doesn’t make you stronger. I mean, seriously, even Sherk has to know that.

yea cuz reefer is a performance enhancing drug like steroids.

Sean Sherk reminds me of a little kid. Since he goy busted, he wants to take everyone down with him. He’d a L7 Weiner.

9 out of 10 times? That’s funny. Given how infrequently Sherk actually fights, 10 fights may take a decade even if the two only faced each other.

LOL.. Ten years huh, thats so true. I completely agree with everything you have said and I am happy I don’t have to write something long.

I’m very surprised “The Anomaly” has yet to say something on this matter.

I think it’s “weiny”

I’m a veteran when it comes to this topic and will say that if I’m gonna burn, I’ll wait until after BJJ class.

steroids vs pot. how stupid can sherk get 1 helps u perform and the other makes most people lazy. nice come back dork

That line is from the movie “The Sandlot.”

Any of you trying to spin pot smoking as some sort of benefit athletically are absurd. And even if there were some magical benefit you’d have to do it the night of the fight to have that effect…..which means BJ would’ve tested positive for it on any whiz quiz after his fights. Sherk sounds like a 10 year old trying to justify his own bad behavior by pointing to someone elses….which is nothing more than verbal diarrhea based on no evidence.

I think there is some basis to what Sherk is saying. For better or worse, people take pot because it benefits them. Stress reduction, enjoyment. . . who is to say those things don’t help a fighter train better or focus better during training?

Oh please.

I guess there will a UFC ALL-Access special on BJ PENN for his upcoming fight with Joe Stevenson in January. If anyone wants a sneak-peek, here’s the link:

FuK sherk ! lol

When was teh last time someone used weed to enhancea a workout? Well with his weight issue maybe, help him pack on the pounds, lol. Sean SHREK truly is the stero-typical dumb jock…

thats the stupidest argument i have ever heard. steroids vs weed?? give me a break!!!

yea cuz reefer is a performance enhancing drug like steroids.

are you serious?? which performance is enhanced? ability to eat?? weed slows down your reaction time by alot..if i were to fight someone in the cage id love for them to be stoned, not ripped on roids.

From what I remeber, BJ’s intial comments had to do with the fact that everytime he steps in the ring he is putting his life on the line. If his opponent is using “un-natural” means to boost his strentgth and cardio, it puts an unfair advantage in his opponents hands.
BJ also stated that mma was intially conceived as a way to determine the “best” form of martial arts, the person with the most skill in their disipline.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t know anyone who could “naturally” sustain as many knees to the head as Sherk took in the Franca fight, yeesh!!! to me he was clearly runing on an extra gear that night. Especially when you take into account the fact that Franca was juiced up.

I find it hard to believe that pot would have similar beneficial effects.

Sherk is getting real petty. Pot? come on man. He is comparing pot (a drug used by over 50% of the population at 1 time or another) to a performing enanced drug that is trashing pro sports through out our country.

Sherk needs to shut his mouth, fly under the Radar until he is eligable for reinstatement.

He just keeps clowning himself

Both are against the law are they not ?
So I have to agree with Sherk on this one even if he does come off sounding like a little girl

the only problem is BJ has never tested positive so why would he take a polygraph?

last time i checked pot is not a performance enhancing drug. Sherk needs to stick his lie detector up his ass.

If BJ was caught with reefer in his system, they would do the same to him as Diaz I imagine. They are both against the law, but steroids is cheat. One thing that I have appreciated about UFC is, even though it is diffucult to catch everything, they try to enforce natural competition. Especially no Roid rage in the cage. So I have to disagree with Sherk.

I actually wonder if the UFC even tests for weed. I NEVER heard of anyone getting busted for pot in the UFC, and there have been several KNOWN pot-heads fighting in the UFC. But then again, when Diaz got busted, it was in Vegas. So, does anyone know if the UFC does test for marijuana?

In a fight, it comes down to which effects you would rather have: A) Roid Rage where you are fueled with anger and adrenaline, also, you are physically stronger than if you didn’t take roids. OR choice B) Getting Stoned, where you will become lazy and crave junk food.

I suggest that when these two actually do fight, BJ is allowed to take steroids, and Sean Sherk MUST smoke up at least 5 times a day leading up to the fight. Then it would be a fair playing field. LOL

they should call this fight “The War On Drugs”. see which drug is the best one out there, once and for all.

LOL, nice one. UFC 87 The War on Drugs. Main event – BJ vs Sherk. Also on the card – Melvin Guillard, Stephan Bonnar, Tim Sylvia, Kendall Grove, Hermes Franca, Nick Diaz, Phil Baroni, Royce Gracie,…

Man made steroids
God Made pot

in god i trust

Sherk is gonna get owned by BJ, whether it’s on the ground or standing up. BJ’s got way more tools then sherk does. All sehrk does is take a guy down and lay on them for 5 minutes. Bj will knock his ass out, or submit him on the ground. I can’t ever see Sherk beating BJ, and I would bet my left nut on that. Sherk’s got a snowball’s chance in hell at beating Penn.

Both are against the law are they not ?
So I have to agree with Sherk on this one even if he does come off sounding like a little girl

but how does smoking pot enhance your performance … if anything it would hinder it so it’s far from cheating.

seems like a theme going on in the ufc now. all these grudge matches that are supposed to take place dont becasue either some1 gets hurt(serra/hughes) or some1 is on drugs(sherk/penn) and now we have to sit here with our thumbs up our ass talking bout these fights that wont happen for months. if these 2 guys were to fight, sherk would win this hands down. franca couldent do anything to stop him(although alot of knees to the face were fun to watch) but sherk ate that shit and still won. he destroyed florian, and these are guys who are great at standing, and grappling. bj would try to submit him but sherk would slam the shit out of him…sherk wins in the 5th by decission.

Did BJ ever test positive for pot?

Or are we going on Sherk hearsay?

Sherk is crying, grow up.
