BJ Penn confronts Sean Sherk on steroid use prior to UFC 84 fight (Audio)

bj penn
Here's an excerpt from the recent UFC 84: "Ill Will" pre-fight press conference call during which BJ Penn questions (antagonizes is perhaps a better word) Sean Sherk directly about his use of steroids:

It doesn't get any better that ... we're finally just one week away.

Nice gotta love BJ

Shit, if you listen closly to the interview BJ sounds like he’s running out of breath while he’s talking…(cardio?) I give credit to all the BJ fans, they sure talk about him like he’s an MMA GOD. Like I said before I hope theres no mass suicides when he’s looses to Sherk.

One thing I give credit for, to all the BJ fans is that you guys treat him like a MMA GOD. Like I said before I hope theres no mass suicides when he looses.

Shit! if you listen closly BJ is running out of breath just talking…..(cardio?) I think BJ keeps talking about the steroids, so theres an excuse if he looses.

JV, those BJ luver’s aren’t gonna let u forget that u bet 1k on Sherk if/when he loses. As the saying goes: “RU willing to put your money where ur mouth is?” Definitely sounds like it…Gud Luck!

I appreciate the good luck. I just can’t stand BJ, and I think Sherk has got alot more chance to win than people are giving him credit for. And if Sherk does win I wonder how all the BJ fans will take it? And I won’t let them forget it.

SS will do good against BJ. This will go decision and SS will win. He’s too fast for BJ. Did you see this guy training????? He’s a MONSTER. One week baby!!!

by mmafan on May 17, 2008 10:22 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yea, I wonder why and how he is such a monster.

You gotta love BJ for calling him out like that. BJ is very principled and has a natural aversion against cheaters (aka steroid-users). I hope that will fire BJ up even more.

I’m not counting Sherk out, he’s physically (for obvious reasons) a challenge/threat for any 155lbs opponent, but I think BJ will make him tap out.

by YouTapped on May 17, 2008 10:51 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

See that’s what I hate. People look at Sherk and think he has to be on something and when he has a borderline nandrolone test result they all pile on. he was not given a fair hearing and it sucks that after all he has sacrificed for this sport, when he was effing bankrupt yet still fighting for the love of it, is forgotten and a guy who assaulted a cop and kept a freaken air choke on 3 seconds longer than he should had is acting like some kind of role model. I don’t believe sherk has or is taking any kind of steroid.

by Gregg on May 17, 2008 11:31 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

“borderline” just means he didn’t quite time the cycle right. Sherk has actually convinced himself, like any great liar does!

I couldn’t AGREE with you more, what’s wrong with the world today ?

Gregg summed it up quite well. BJ nuthuggers don’t want to hear logic, they just want to yell “WWAAAR BJ!!” at the of their lungs, plug their ears and run into a a corner screaming like a child, anything to ignore logic.

BJ has a lot of balls calling anyone else a cheater considering in every one of his fights he gouges his opponent’s eyes or does some other dirty tactic.

by Cyrus on May 17, 2008 1:31 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

thank you for writting all that down for me.
bj wants to sound bad ass and rightous by saying he hates cheaters and all that crap but all hes doing is making himself look stupid(er).

by Bane on May 17, 2008 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

So you think BJ comes in and gouges people in the eyes intentionally, what other dirty tactic? A natural level of nan. is around 6 Sherk tested around 12, not a big difference but to high to be natural, so either way he was out of line.

by Knowitall on May 17, 2008 2:02 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

in everyone of his fights????? GSP (and i still think it was a solid punch) and Hughes for sure . . . Name one more dude! You Sherk huggers are the ones that dont listen to logic and reason! Name one other fight or one other dirt trick tacti that BJ uses, came one just one and shut me up. Your boys the cheater and its ben proven, huh?

by ( (Adam G) ) on May 17, 2008 2:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah… but a guy that goes around assaulting cops (and then lying about why he did it) and holding on to chokes when their opponent has tapped out shouldn’t really be giving lessons about good sportsmanship and sticking to the rules…

Adam don’t even worry about it, we will win this whole fued come the 24th. We BOTH know Penn is gonna win, so why let these dudes who have been watching for 2 months get to you? I know it takes a lot of patience but in less then a week now it will all be over, and we will have won.

be specific, sucker punching a cop then running away only to be tackled by the same cop he hit.

by Leeward on May 17, 2008 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you are wrong. heavy training can increase nan levels in a big way. there have been other cases where athletes have been banned for high nandrolone levels and after an invesitgation they were acquitted because athletes who overtrain make more of it naturally. Nobody trains as hard as sherk nor has his weird diet. I think he just had a natural spike in his nan blood level.

by Gregg on May 18, 2008 11:11 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He heavy trains always, a training machine, Right? So why werent they always that high, a 10 year career and never that high before and i bet theyll never be that high again.

I’m not saying Sherk did or didn’t… but I’m saying there is enough questions to raise doubt in anyone’s opinion about whether Sherk did or didn’t.

1. Sherk passed a polygraph 3 times. I don’t know who submitted that lie detector test.

2. Sherk had bloodwork done showed he was clean. I don’t know when he had that bloodwork done or who did it?

3. Fighters were tested before Sherk and were found to be ‘positive’ the vial was cleaned, but however the vial wasn’t tested to see if traces of steroids were still in it.

4. Sherk said it may be something in his supplements. I don’t know what Sherk’s been taking, Nandrolone substances are banned from US products since around 2005. However, suppliers are always finding ways to get new unbanned substances into their “supplements.” However, I never heard anything more about the results of his supplements being tested.

by THORAZINE on May 18, 2008 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It would have to be a lot left in the vial seeable to the naked eye to raise his levels that much, not some microscopic amount. AND where did you hear about all this, the lie tests, second blood tests, etc etc . . . From Sean Sherks mouth, he says those things and never produces the proof of what hes saying, he could say he took ten blood tests after and it wouldnt matter to me unless he also gives a website where we can see this proof without his helping words, you know, see it with my own eys. Put out a website, a phone number, a lab address, or just name the place for christ sakes. All he does is say " i took test, all sorts of test, they prove im right . . . " What is that supposed to mean to me and other MMA fans. IF he named a lab or website we can go to and i went there and an eployee that works there or administerd the tests or results substantiated that SHerk even came into there business let alone took any tests and past them i would be satisfied beyond beliefe! BUT he does not do this, his lawyer does not do this, no lab says it on there own just to help the guy out, no documents have been produced by anyone associated with Sean Sherk, even Dana says he believes Sean for a lot of reasons but none of those reasons are because he took any tests after or had any blood work done after or urine. Sean hasnt even shown proof of these phantom tests to Dana, his boss. Just show me one website that shows any proof of what Sean Sherk claims because he is the only one who claims it. No one else says these things but Sean, he LOVES that freedom of speech! You cant slander but you can lie as long as its about yourself. PROVE ME WRONG . . .

This evidence brief was submitted to the CSAC, made public by Sherk’s lawyer and Sherk and publicly addressed by CSAC Executive Officer Armando Garcia. Attorney’s can be held liable for false statements. It would be stupid to fuck with the CSAC with public lies.

Of course what I’m going to write here is from a secondary source as is almost all information, which we all form our opinions from.

1. CSAC does not accept polygraphs as evidence. Don’t have any info about lie detector test or companies that administer them. It ends up being irrelevant.

2. Sherk submitted blood tests, however, the time period in which they were taken could have allowed Sherk to cycle off, easy to refute this test. It ends up being irrelevant.

3. The vial was not tested to see if traces of steroids were still in it. This is Sherk’s argument, that Quest Diagnostics is at fault, but one the CSAC will say operates a perfect process, end of story. It ends up being irrelevant.

4. One supplement tested from Sherk’s independent, Xyience Xtreme Joint Formula, tested positive for a testosterone booster. FYI, Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, own a major stake of Xyience. In any case the testosterone booster in Xyience isn’t something CSAS tests for.
- CSAC Guidelines and the FAQ on their website cite studies warning that over-the-counter supplements could contain traces of steroids that could inevitably lead to a positive test. It’s up to the fighters to know what they are putting in their bodies. It ends up being irrelevant.

So, in contrary to u, I do believe Sherk did do all those things he stated to try to prove his innocence. However, they are all refuted, HOWEVER, (lol) YOU can get a positive test from over the counter supplements… EVEN the CSAC states you can, but it’s your own damn fault.

I like Sherk, I like BJ even more. I try to do a reasonable amount of research, before hanging someone in a questionable position. There’s reason to believe either side… I’m just saying I’m not sure that Sherk knowingly took something to double his nano level. I don’t know how others can be soooo’ positive and adamant with an opinion and not even understanding the process he & CSAC went through.

yeah… BJ is very principled… that’s why he pokes GSP in the eye and then pounds on him for an entire round…

then loses to hughes and makes excuses about it…

BJ just likes to run his mouth… he’s a poor sportsman and a bitch… just a pity he’s so damn talented too…

Are you saying he meant to poke GSP? thats the most stupid thing i’ve ever heard.

by nick j on May 17, 2008 1:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t think he poked GSP on purpose, but I agree with pretty much everything else that he said. He did make excuses for losing to Hughes. It was a fight, the reason his rib broke was because Hughes broke it. He does run his mouth and he is a poor sportsman. He is also very talented. All those things are true.

I would love to see Sherk win this fight.

by naturalshadow on May 17, 2008 5:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

no he didnt mean to poke him… but just like trigg kept beating down on hughes when he kneed him in the b*lls BJ just kept pounding on him… fine… it’s the ref’s call so all good… but since then – and immediately after the fight – he just kept running his mouth about how GSP was more beat up than him and he felt he won etc…

eddie bravo clearly gave the match 2 rounds to 1 to GSP… BJ is just a b*tch and always makes excuses and complains…

and the hughes excuse was just ridiculous… you broke your rib IN A FIGHT… you lost the fight… just admit hughes was better on the night when he crucifixed you and beat you down and take it like a man… but he actually goes on abt hughes being a p*ssy and stuff…

he’s gifted fighter but he is by no means an ambassador for the sport… BJ is a b*tch…

by haemophiliac on May 17, 2008 5:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He broke his rib when he took hughes’s back from gaurd, what are you talking about, when did Hughes break it???? It was broken going into the third, and BJ owned the last two minutes of the second, so Hughes broke it beofre that but BJ was still able to pull off that move to take Hughes’s back, come on, BJ broke it attempting that move, thats why he didnt completely get Hughes’s back and didnt finish him off. GET REAL, and do some research. Youve got to be retarded to think Hughes would win the rubber match.

by ( (Adam G) ) on May 17, 2008 7:04 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

In addition Bj hardly ever mentions his broken rib as an excuse for losing to Hughes, even mths after, the hospital report came out and people wanted to know what happened, so it was explained and rarely ever mentioned by BJ, mostly likely explained by someone in his camp though.

Penn broke his rib doing a very pointless move. Any competent wrestler knows that an armbar triangle choke is just dumb. Its basicly like trying to pin a guy except by overexerting yourself. BJ didn’t know his own limitations there. Also with poking GSP in the eye and continually beating on him, he gave his fans a reason to think he could actually beat GSP. Penn is rude and if he was as washed up as Tito people would hate him based on his attitude alone. Penn huggers!

damnation! talk about hyping a fight! sherk sounded nervous and b.j.sounded confident imo. not over-confident. i believe everything dana says about jacob. in public he always hes always trying to come off as the good guy, when deep down he’s all about himself. it was funny what dana said about the fertittas, cuz jacob does always bring them up as if he gets along well w/ them. they probably dislike himjust as much as dana and will be glad to see him go.

by b.w. on May 17, 2008 10:36 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Really? BJ was trying get under Sherk’s skin and was getting himself more worked up than anything. It sure sounded like BJ was more flustered and Sherk just laughed at him. He knows what he did and didn’t do but for eveyone else (including BJ) it is speculation. Hell, BJ was so frantic he was probably gassed after the interview.

by PJJ on May 17, 2008 12:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

No offense but what were you listening to? I love BJ and he makes fighting look beautiful and easy, but he sounded frantic, like he was talking to his split personality or something. Sherk actually sounded pretty calm and normal.

It’s as if he wants Sherk to be a user because it gives him something to cry about and makes him look all mighty. Very possible that this goes the distance and a decision. I think BJ has the edge, but wouldn’t count out Sherk’s heart and cardio.

by dave on May 17, 2008 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

no offense taken. b.j. sounded confident to me, and sherk honestly didn’t sound all that nervous, my bad. im a fan of b.j’s and gsps and before gsp’s fight w/ hughes and serra i felt a little worried. i dont have that feeling at all w bj/sherk. this isnt a knock on sherk. bj aside he is defenitley 1 of the favorites to be the ufc lw champ. im not counting sherk out completely, bj could slip on a bannana peel on the way to the cage. ( and i stated months ago that i believe sherk didnt purposely take roids. hes never tested positive before and his body has always lokked the same to me.) maybee they should let sherk take roids against bj, then it would be a level playing field. ha! bj is only trying to hype up this fight, after he wins i’m sure he’ll make amends w/sherk. he did with jens and i know he had more animosity with jens than sherk. i really dont put much into this interview at all. except the dana /jacob fued.

by b.w. on May 17, 2008 5:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I hear that. Yeah, for some reason I don’t really think that Sherk really roided. It just doesn’t seem like it. His actions and the way he’s always responded. No test is completely bulletproof, and it’s really possible that this one was a slip-up. I was mistakenly tested positive for Hepatitis once. Made for an interesting couple of days.

HELLO! BJ does have a split personality, hes a fucken NUT!!!! And thats what i love about ’em!! In the days f the gladiator if BJ were alive, it wouldnt satisfy him just to kill his opponent like the rest of the gladiators, he would gut ’em like a fish, pull out the guys heart, and eat it for the crowd and i would have loved that too! WHAT! Im sick just like BJ . . . AND! “Whats he gonna do when im punching him and elbowing him and licking the blood off his face while im punching him?!?” Love that shit!! BJ BJ BJ!!!

ortiz/machida fight is more important for Machida to win to be accepted into the top 5 cuz no matter what Ortiz will be able to market and promote himself to make maad money with any other organization

BJ’s wicked he’s straight up but SS is in sick shape and will test BJ in the later rounds but i think BJ can manouvre and get SS back and choke him out!

He didn’t finish Joe daddy that fast and Sherk is way better than Joe. BJ had better hope he does finish him that fast though, or he will gas and get finished. BJ CAN’T go 5 rounds against the likes of Sherk, Hughes or GSP.

Its an hour long interview and BJ was worked up for 15 seconds of it, 45 minutes into it, Sherk knew he better not say anything, OR Saturday night could be worse for him then its already gonna be. I think hes just ready to pay the piper like a man, ready to take the hand that Karma has delt him and get it over with. Seans IS being a man, no fake injury, no more excuses, just get in the cage and stand across from BJ Penn . . . Like a man. Period. (Ill give you that Gord)

And so what, i love that BJ gets crazy, to me that isnt a bad thing. If a guy was calling me a chater i would be pissed, that should bother you. BJ is a NUT and i love it!!! Every crazy second of it! Every wild slap to his own face, every crazy blood licking comment, every callenge to guys like Sherk/GSP/AND BETTER, every takedown defense on one toe, every BJJ move frm gaurd, every extra long choke, EVEYTHING!

Some guys stay calm and make them pay in the cage, for running their mouth. GSP-Serra comes to mind. One thing I know for sure, the confident ones are the ones that keep their mouth SHUT. It’s the guys that keep talking, that are trying to convince themselves. To me it sounds like BJ is making his excuse in advance, by constantly mentioning steriods. This way when he loses,him and all his fans can say he WOULD have won,IF Sherk didn’t juice. Won’t be anything new though, I’m used to hearing a lot of woulda’s, coulda’s and if’s from BJ’s fans.

Im one of those thats usualy quiet, may not seem so on here, but ill start now. See you sunday morning Gord, dont be ashamed to show your screen name around here, there will be another guy BJ will have to fight soon and you can jump on his bandwagon. But i bet you already are a Florian and a Huerta fan huh, whoever it is BJ will bitch slap them to. . . Then it will finaly be GSP . . .The guy i know you truly like, so i expect to see you then for sure, maybe after that youll come around to appreciate BJ Penn. If you wanna know anything else . . .

You know what’s illogical? You and Adam convinced that BJ will RAPE Sherk (if he wins it won’t be easy). Also saying BJ is better than Sherk at everything,is very illogical, especially strength and conditioning. I rest my case on who is losing a grip on logic.

Cut and paste the post where i said BJs cardio is better. Cut and paste the post where i said BJs Strength is better, i say equal, similar, the same, but not better. I say bjs faughten MUCH MUCH stronger guys than Sean and done fine against them which means that Seans strength doenst matter to me and shouldnt matter to anyone cause BJ has been there and done that. Ive never said that Sean will be crushed in one pnch KO style. I argue dilligently that hes guilty of using steroids and BJ is is execututioner and that his record is full of CAN’S, but those are the only things im sure of when it comes to this fight. DONT put n the catagory of guys that just yell WAR PENNNNN and then leave or make claims that i dont back up (or try to), im beyond offended. Cause you cant argur your points/side you attack the oster thats geting the best of you, its chill, my fighters gonna get the best of you to when hes holding that choke for too long and you can come in here and complain about his ethics all day long since you wontbe able to argue about how your boy won the fight . . .

Not ONLY DID YOU SAY, “Strenth-BJ, but you said, YOUR (should be you’re) RETARDED TO THINK SHERK IS STRONGER”. You ALSO AGREED with Anomaly that BJ is better at EVERYTHING. Everything INCLUDES cardio. You also said in SEVERAL other (I’m not going to waste my time to copy and pasting them)posts that BJ would beat Sherk EASILY. You don’t even know what you’re posting. You don’t argue dilligently that he is guilty of doing steriods. For one, you say, Sherk has NEVER had high levels of Nan before and he always passed, yet Sherk has ALWAYS looks the same. Doesn’t this suggest that there was a MISTAKE. You can’t have it both ways. Either he has always been juiced or he NEVER juiced. It is OBVIOUS going from juice to no juice and vice versa. You’re not getting the best of me, like I said, you don’t even know what you said yesterday. I never attack the poster, just the stupid comments he says. Lastly, you should pay more attention to what you read, I’ve said MANY times," I don’t care for Sherk" so he is not my boy. I just call them as I see them and I see him winning.

BJ will not need 5 rounds to finish off the like’s of a one dimensional Sherk. Also, how fast did you want BJ to beat the living hell out of Stevenson? I guess you think he took too long to beat Jens as well right??? Good God some of you people are morons to think that Sherk’s lay n pray ass is going to be able to stop BJ!!! As far as Hughes goes, well thats enough said he’ll be lucky if he can get passed Tyson, BJ’s the last person he needs to worry about beating…

He can see that BJ aint scarred, he’ll say it to the guy directly, and he cant defend the interview so he goes back to Jens LoL, who got the *ss kicking of aa life time BTW! And we all know BJ had the arm bar and the triangle but didnt go for it, just likes to toy with guys and hates to do all that training and workingout for a 3 minute fight. “I wanna thank BJ for not going for the early submission finish and coming here to put on a fight, when he wants to punish he wants to punish” -Pulver Post Fight. “Whooooooo” -Pulver Looking At His Own Bustaed Up Face On The Big Screen Right After The Fight.

Dana’s and Tito’s fight was supposed to be for charity until Tito backdown. Tito is dating a porn star who talks ,like she was personally trained by Tito, to Dana like she’s known the sport forever. Tito keeps saying he wants to be treated like the champ he is. When Tito had the belt he ducked Liddell, but after he lost it and Liddell gained it Liddell gave Tito his shot. Tito held the fence against a guy who is known for his ground game more than his stand up and ended the fight in a draw however he claims he would have won the fight without that point being taken away… no you wouldn’t have cause that means you wouldn’t have held the fence and Rashad would have beat on you giving him the rounds. Tito is so full of it that I never want to see him fight again. His new reality show idea sounds like the perfect idea of Elite XC and that band of clowns. Get this shit out of the UFC!

Also’ Before someone points out that Sherk has only been stopped once aswell, I already know!
But think about who was the only person to finish Sherk??..answer=GSP..The same guy BJ almost took out in the 1st round, and even though GSP won, it was a decision win…GSP couldn’t finish BJ, but GSP pumbled Sherk!…Also BJ has only been finished once and that was by Hughesus..And granted Hughesus broke BJ’s rib, It still effected the out-come, and BJ was killing Hughesus until that point…Sherk on the other hand, lost to Hughesus via decision..But BJ has beat Hughesus before….
Bottom line is (imo) BJ is way better of a fighter regardless of eachothers record…I dont understand how anyone could think BJ will lose to Sherk?….I am putting my “Stagger-Lee’Guarantee” on this one…BJ .vs. Sherk = easy win for BJ!

That’s the problem, you go to sherdog to look at the records, to see teh “win” or the “loss” via whatever, and dont watch the fight for yourself. There is so much more then just the win or loss. For example, that Penn had Pulver in an armbar taht Pulver was in teh process of tapping out of in there first fight. Best example of being saved by the bell that ive ever seen.

What are you talking about? GSP had his vision back before the break between rounds. BJ is the one who needs the breaks to get his breath back. I laugh at the fact, that you NEGLECT to concider, that there is no time limit in a street fight. Penn was gassed and GSP would have beat him to death, within the next 3 minutes, had it been a street fight. Same goes for a FIVE round fight, you know, like the next time they meet.

So what is it? Did the break help him get his vision back or not? Now you are saying his vision was gone for a round and a half. Wouldn’t that make the break IRRELEVANT as he got it back half way through the round. The fact that you’re saying BJ COULDN"T finish a BLIND GSP (for HALF the fight)says nothing about the fact that in a street fight (with no bells or judges to stop the fight)GSP would have killed Penn, end of story. All this other crap you brought up to side step the initial point I refuted ,has NOTHING to do with it. The UFC doesn’t score it’s fights the same way as a fifth grade play ground fight,(who ever bleeds more loses)so get over it. We all know how much blood comes from a broken nose and we know giving someone one, doesn’t win the fight.

Yup your right Adam, Penn beat up on a blinded GSP and now thinks that gives him the right to say he could beat GSP. As for why Sherk didn’t finish two very good BJJ guys? Thats easy they train HARDER than Penn, everyone trains harder than Penn. So naturally when a fight comes and its going to go the distance, the guys who work on their cardio can go the distance while little bitches get finished.

Yes, I seen BJ fight and he GASSES, Ken and Franca can go 5 rounds at Sherk’s pace and BJ CAN’T. So there is your answer how Sherk can finish BJ when he couldn’t finish the other 2.

by Gord on May 17, 2008 1:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Kenny and Franca went 5 rounds because they can’t finish Sherk, BJ can and will. Even if it goes to a decision, there is no way Sherk will win 3 of the 5 rounds. BTW, your argument doesn’t make sense.

I’ve seen both guys fight and I hope Sherk gets destroyed. Penn has more tools on the ground than Franca or Florian, or Nick Diaz for that matter (who, by the way, lost a pretty stupid decision to Sherk, as well). Besides, there’s no proof that Penn is going to gas; he set a pretty solid pace against Stevenson (for as long as the fight lasted anyway), and a lot of people forget that Penn wasn’t even training at his best before he got the fight with Stevenson. Now that he’s focusing on his training and his dieting, etc., I think a lot of his conditioning problems are going to go away, and a lot of Sherk fans are going to be pretty upset when BJ submits Sherk off his back within 2 rounds.

by Justin on May 17, 2008 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Those are the kind of statements BJ butthole surfers say. He’ll submit him off his back? I don’t think thats possible for a guy Sherks size to be submitted on top. He’ll just flex Penn off. How does anyone see Penn winning this “easily”. Sherk took knee’s from Franca and fought a brawler in Diaz. Penn is not going to knock Sherk out or even get a gnp victory, it doesn’t seem like he could legitimately do this. To control Sherk and pound him out would tire Penn way to much consindering he’d have to hold Sherk down with 2 legs and one arm using his one free arm to try and beat a gorilla of a man. Also a good amount of Penn’s submissions go out the window, for example the rear naked choke isn’t going to happen with an experience wrestler that has a tree trunk for a throat. Also Sherk is a little shorter making his base a little harder to work with, meaning that Penn will try for leg hooks or a body triangle, both just tyring Penn and pissing Sherk off. Penn is doomed, and I’ll be back on the forum to let everyone know what a bunch of nut huggers they were being when Penn loses!

by Bic on May 20, 2008 2:27 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If the rear naked choke isn’t going to work,then I guess you’re right about his other submissions going out the window. All 5 of BJ’s subs were chokes. Unless he trys something new for a change, the choke is all he’s got.

BJ is probably one of the most talented fighters in all of MMA. His legs are made of rubber, has heavy hands, and can finish most anyone. His weakness is his ability to last.. he is going against a very durable fighter who can bring the badness all day long. A contradiction in styles.. Sherk working for takedowns, BJ using his opponent’s strengths to his advantage while delivering his own brand of punishment. If the fight ends early, it should be BJ by sub.. if it goes longer than 3 rounds, I expect the table to turn and Sherk will pound out a TKO or 5 RD decision. The more I type I realize I have to change my pick for this fight… SHERK by TKO or decision.

by DJ on May 17, 2008 12:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Sherk’s whole game is to score a takedown, lay and pray, and win a boring decision. He may be able to take B.J. down with ease but if he lays on top for too long he will get submitted. Not maybe, not might, not possibly he will be submitted and that’s kind of how I see this fight playing out. Like a said earlier, BJ gets the submission in the third.

And Hermes is tiny while Florian is skinny, niether are the body type or naturals that BJ is, no comparison. And whos to say that Nick Diaz wasnt stoned off his ass in that fight, beating him two years ago aint that great of an accomplishment, beating the Nick Diaz that showed up up recently and the one that beat Gomi is an accomplishment!

I guess GSP also got nose poked and forehead poked and chin poked and etc etc etc . . .

Ive seen plenty of BJ fights Haze….. Ive never doubted his skill level and talent, but BJ is one of those guys that if he cant finish you in the first or second round, then he seems to lose self confidence. The 3rd round and beyond seems to confuse BJ, as if what my skills havent taken over and domiated this guy. Go look at BJ’s record in the UFC, he has only one win after the 2nd round, and that was against Matt Serra back in 02. Like I said Sherk is going to Dry hump him for 2 rounds and then finish BJ in the 3rd…..

And at sherdog you can see all the CAN’s Sherk has faughten, something like 27 of them, you wont recognize 95% of the fighters sherk has beaten cause they are all nobodys! REASERCH!

YEA, i know what he said dude. Thats why i said go to sherdog and look at peoples records, not the UFC website, they only post UFC administered fights there . . . Hell they make sean sherk look like he fights good fighters LoL, they skip the 27 CAN’s hes faught and just post Diaz, Florian, Hermaes, GSP, and Hughes . . . Laughable. As you can see HE hasnt replied huh, that long list of CAN’s and nobodys is a tuff thing to take in at sherdog when you thought this guy was 32-2 like a Hughes or something, instead you find that his record should be 5-2 . . . If you count the decent fighters and not all the NOBODYS. And Sherks lucky i count the tainted Hermes fight in the W column for him, should be a no contest leaving sherk at 4-2-1. HUH?

No, you said WHAT? like he didn’t know what he was taking about and then you listed a bunch of guys that AREN’T in the UFC. He was clearly just refering to the UFC, you know, kinda like you referring to Sherks only relevant fights are in the UFC. How do you figure the Franca fight was tainted. They BOTH supposedly juiced, wouldn’t that make it a FAIR fight.

daym… is time going slow or what?! can’t wait to see how the beatdown will go this time around. pulver got jiujitzu cliniced, joe daddy took bows to the dome. BJ’s been talking mount lately, but personally i hope he false crack sherk’s adams apple making him gag tounge flapping highlight reel tko. that would be some good footage for the catalogues. i would be really impressed and surprised if he went the mount route cuz Ken, Franca and all of Sherk’s victims got pinned down real good. It seemed impossible for them to get up. That can’t be denied. I wonder how Sherk’s physic is gonna look (non-gay way) off the juice. If he’s any smaller, the blogs will be erupting with sh*t talk. I’ll laugh so hard. And lastly, I wonder what kind of crazy sh*t BJ’s going to say or do after the fight. Its always something new! It’s gonna be gooooooood!! WAR PENN!!

Everybody sounds kind of lame with the, “this guy beat that guy who beat that guy up in the fifth grade stuff.”
Regardless of who you like, fighters develop, change, age..etc, and you can’t use that logic for every fight. These are both top quality fighters, and if wer’e all being honest, either guy is capable of a win. That’s the whole point, and I would think the reason we all watch championship mma. Whatever…

BJ will make easy work of Sherk. As fighters these two are no on the same level. With or without help, it dont matter. Sean will be exposed. BJ will win this round 1 I guarantee it. Watch.

The best part of the whole interview is when Dana White and Sherk stated how they felt about Kimbo and BJ Penn felt exactly the opposite way. BJ went on to commend a street fighter for making a name for himself in MMA. He’s definitely a man of his convictions and will never kiss ass.

I also like Sherk, and unlike other’s on this site I can understand the issue of whether he took “illegal” steriods is very unclear.

by THORAZINE on May 18, 2008 3:39 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Lets imagine we can all put all reputations aside and look att his fight from a novice fan point of view. Pretend Sherk never tested positive for anything and that BJ did not run his mouth so much. Lok at them purely as fighters from a fan standpoint…I will give some time for you to clear your mind of all negativity toward either fighter Happy thoughts 10,9,8,7 hot ufc chicks,6,5, a million dollar lottery ticket, 4,3,2, free life long cage side tickets to all UFC events…1….

Do you really think Sean Sherk makes for a better Champion then BJ Penn. Is there one single person out there that can honestly say that they would rather watch Sherks Lay-n-Pray style of fighting to BJ Penns full arsenal of fighting. Lets Compare…

Sean Sherk: The last time he finished a fighter was Joel Blanton in 2005. Joel Who? Some 8-8 fighter who has never had a win over a b level fighter let alone an a level fighter. His last A level fight close was KAro Parisyan in 2001. When Karo corner threw in the towel. Impressive but 7 years ago. His last 3 fights against A level fighters. All by lay-n-pray. If you have seen 1 Sean Sherk A level fight you have seen them all. You know exactly what he is going to do. He is going to take down the smaller fighter (Franca, Florian, Diaz) and sit in their guard for 15 minutes. Throwing just enough elbows or hammer fists that the ref won’t stand it up but not enough to expose himself to a mistake. He will always take the safe win. I can not recall ever seeing Sean Sherk just let it all hang out and fight for the sake of fighting rather then for the Win. I do realize the goal of a fight is to win, but every now and again it would be great as a “FAN” to see your Champion actualy fight. How exciting would it have been if Sherk would have just stood with Florian for 2 or 3 minutes of maybe 2 rounds. We all know Sherk has a good Chin, and Florian is not a big power puncher. Most of his wins have been subs. The tkos he does have have been submission to punches, not KO’s. He cold have made the Franca fight more interesting to in the same manner, but he was protecting his belt, so guess what folks, SEAN SHERK=LAY-n-PRAY. I know that and am never excited to see him fight. Because youjust know what is going to happen.

BJ Penn: His last “A” LEvel win. I like to think Joe Stevenson is A level but I am sure people will argue that even though he was top of the 155# food chain and ran through a lot of good fighters. He has more experience then most fighters for his age. Then there is Pulver who imo is or at least was an A level talent. I could see peole arguing that to, was he an A level talent att he time of the BJ Penn rematch, I dunno. So that would put BJ Penns last real A level victory to MAtt Hughes in 2004. Just before Hughes he gave Takonori Gomi 1 of his 3 losses in a fight career that has spanned some 30 plus fights. His losses to Machida and GSP could both be easily argued in his favor. Especially the GSP fight. Ohh He poke him in the eye though. It is a fight shit happens. He still bloddied GSP up and GSP was not really able to do much except lay on top of him and pray for the ends of round 2 and 3 when he finally was able to get a takedown in the middle of the second round. He went a full round and a half without being able to hold Penn down, then layed on top of him for 7 minutes, and stole the win. That fight could have gone either way. The MAchida fight, all considering Penn is a natural 155#er maybe 170#er could have been argued in his favor as well, but not quite so convincingly as the GSP fight. The other great thing about BJ is that you never know what you are going to get. He never plays it safe and always puts on a great show. If you think of all the greatest champions in any fight sport, they are showmen. They let it all hang outbeit 12/15 rounds, 1 ten minute & 1-5 minute round or 3/5 5 minute rounds. They are there to prove they are the best. Not to simply neutralize the best but to beat and finish the best. BJ Penn will beat you in standup, mount and pound you, take your back and submit you, make you look foolish trying to take him down-while standing on 1 leg.

Compare fights against similar fighters. Sean Sherk was owned by both Matt Hughes and GSP. Mind you Sean Sherk already had 18 fights worth of experience before getting in the ring with Hughes and maybe 20 when stepping into the ring with GSP. BJ had only 9 mma fights under his belt when he first stepped into the ring with Hughes and like 13 when he fought GSP. BJ Penn beat Hughes and lost to GSP arguably. Sherk got thrown around like a rag doll in both of those fights. Even the second time they fought (Hughes and Penn) Penn was in total control until Hughes broke his rib. At no point did Sherk look like he stood any kind of chance against either fighter. BJ on the other hand was a legitimate threat all the way through.

As a fan of the UFC and MMA since the very first UFC in Nov of 1993 and avid boxing fan before that, I would much rather see a champion that is every bit driven as a fighter as I am a fan. I want to see a fighter that is going to get in the ring and leave everything in the ring. I want to see a fighter who is going to give me dollars worth and not leave me witha bad taste in my mouth. As a fan want to feel that I got my $40 dollars worth at the end of a PPV. Sean Sherk does not cut it like that. I feel robbed most of the time after watching Sherk fight. I would rather pay 39.95 and see someone get KO’d in the very first 10 seconds of a fight knowing that they went in their to fight and win be it technically or through brute power then see a Champion that plays it safe. Do not get me wrong I am not one of those people who do not understand the technical aspect because I love the chess match as much as the power game, but chess is offensive as well as defensive. Playing it safe yeah may get you the win but does it really prove your the best? That aloneis the reason why I would much rather see BJ Penn be Champ then see Sean Sherk fight ever again. Sherk has proved that he can sit on top of a smaller opponent and just keep busy enought to lose the fight. BJ Penn wins convincingly when he does win. Hell even when he loses you are not really sure he lost. That to me is the true sign of greatnes in MMA. So who would you really rather have has a champ.

GANGSTA! PURE GANGSTA!! I put up a lot of info for these guys to sink their teeth into but it goes in one ear and out the other with most of ’em. . .Lets say Sean wins, we get to see a rematch with Florian where he lays n prays for 25 more minutes, 50 minutes of these two guys making out is what you guys wanna see??? BJ will show KenFlo what BJJ is all about, could you imagine the difference in the fight on the ground, lay n pray OR two dudes going for al sorts of sub attempts and elbows flyng, hell BJ might even get cut for the first time in his career (he never even bruises!) There is just much more for Penn to offer any weight class!!

Just wait and watch the fight and quit debating it

WE will be commiting suicide because we know we will have to watch another 2 years of lay-n-pray in what should be the most dynamic weight class in the UFC. There is so much talent in the 155# class. Like stated earlier why settle for just enough when you can get greatness. Even if it is not Penn that holds the belt for long, the idea of Sherk winning the belt makes me want to take a nap just thinking about it(much like his matches). Hey if he come out bangs and trades or technically wrestles with BJ and dominates the way a true wrestler should then awesome. I am down for that as a BJ fan. But as an MMA fan I can’t fathom the idea of him just killing time in guard, for the next 2 years.

nobody pays the $45. you go to a bar, party, or go in with a few of your buddies. the real cheap guys catch it on youtube at 10 am before dana gets rid of them at noon.

Fight, fight, fight, fight.

At my school if a fight got boring, all the people watching would start spitting on the people who were fighting. Sometimes that’s what you need to get your game going- taking some spit on the face can make you push the pace. So maybe we should just ‘groger’ (hock a lugie), on SS and he won’t have to become a Seand-roid. Yeah?
