lol..
You would have if you won your fight, but you do gain a little bit for showing up

Didn’t really like BJ’s comment about Huerta. Eventhough he’s 100% correct, admitting he’s not hyped about that fight after beating sherk is disrespectful I feel, to a complete class act as Huerta, not to mention he doesn’t even consider Florian for the win.

With that said, Sherk’s face was scaaary vioelt/black, holy bananas batman!

Sherk’s a former champ and went toe to toe with BJ, he doesn’t have to prove sh*t to anybody.

There couldn’t be a better time to pair up BJ and GSP. Both are at the top of their game. This Fitch fight is going to be a joke.

The question is though, does BJ deserve a title fight against George at 170 right off the bat? He’s held it before but the way Dana rolls, he loves both these guys and it’s about money and the fight will provide that.

I just question throwing guys up in and own in weight to fight for titles right away. Maybe he should have a tuneup fight. But the downside is if bj went up and fought, say hughes or serra again and what if he lost…. OUCH. I think he would destroy both of them.

Sean Sherk has nothing. He can roll around and fight the lower end of 155 but he doesn’t have it to be a long term champ.

I would like for BJ to wait and fight the winner of Huerta/Florian. There’s a lot of good guys at 155 that are in line for a shot, I don’t really think any of them can beat BJ, but they deserve their chance. Obviously at 170 Fitch is the most deserving of a title shot right now. I Thiago Alves can get past Hughes, then he will most likely be next. Then you got who ever wins between Marcus Davis and Swick, and Koschek/Lytle. So, both divisions are pretty deep with guys in line for title shots. At this point if i were given the option between a super fight between BJ and GSP again or Anderson and GSP, I’d take the Anderson fight. Mainly because I’ve already seen BJ and GSP before. Also I get the feeling that BJ would want it to be a title fight so if he won he would have 2 belts at the same time. All the talk I’ve heard of anderson/gsp is of them meeting in the middle of 170/185 and making it a non-title fight. But maybe that’s just because GSP doesn’t feel comfortable moving up that much to an actual 185lb fight and having Anderson cutting down from 200 or whatever. BJ on the other hand did fight at 170 and he’s fought at 205 before so he wouldn’t care if he had a size disadvantage.

Yeah, as much as I would love to see BJ fight GSP again, he should have to defend his title a few times fitst. Probably the most crowded division in the UFC, and more than one person at a time will be worthy of a title shot at one point. I think Anderson should move up to 205 and clear out that division while GSP and BJ clear out thier respected divisions as well.

sherk showed some heart and had a littl better stand-up than most thought. other than that he just showed that he cant compete in the upper level(losses to bj,gsp,hughes) and is who we thought he is. hell they brought back the 155 weight class for him pretty much. i dont think sherk was ever serious about winning this fight he just didnt want to get embarresed. im sure hes hoping that bj does move up to ww to fight gsp. he can hang w/ just about any other lw. i would like to see him fight grey maynard next.

I kinda lost some respect actually. It was stupid to just stand there and eat jabs and not do anyhting to try and change that.

I’m glad BJ won, although I did pick Sherk to win. I expected Sherk to do more of his “thing”… it simply didn’t happen. Superb win by BJ.
Regarding the future..
> BJ should not get a title shot right away at 170. The division can stand on its own for a bit without people moving between weight classes.
> Great pool of talent at 155 that deserve their shot. They should not be denied by BJ fighting in other divisions.
In a year or so after each having a couple of successful title defences it would be MONSTROUS for GSP and BJ to get it on again.

Great comments guys thanks. But while I agree in theory that BJ should fight the winner of Huerta vs Florian, the fight should happen now while both are on the top of their game. And if BJ wins great! We get a third match, if not move back down and fight at 155.

how bout Stevenson v. Sherk in Mineapolis??? lets see the two bleeders go at it!!!!!

The New BJ. BJ has discovered that the key to success is discipline…I dont think there’l be any stopping him now

With all the lightweight talk – what about Diaz and Manvil? Those guys have pretty much walked thru everyone – no? I think those two should be near the top.

What, no ones talking shit about BJ Penn . . . ???? Im baffeled! HAAAAAAA! Bitches! Cardio this, cardio that . . . STFU! NOW WHAT?!? Sean Sherk lovers, nothing to say today??? GORD! PJJ! NATURALSHADOW! Talk your shit now. “Sean Shek, ya KO’d!”

Now all the kids know that cheaters like sherk who take steroids will eventually get their asses kicked by real fighters like Penn.

What, no ones talking shit about BJ Penn . . . ???? Im baffeled! HAAAAAAA! Cardio this, cardio that . . . STFU! NOW WHAT?!? Sean Sherk lovers, nothing to say today??? GORD! PJJ! NATURALSHADOW! . . . What happened to your boy? “Sean Sherk, Ya KO’d!”

Same here.

I’ve never really liked Sherk but he just stood there like a moron eating shots the entire fight.

Sherk proved he can’t fight. I lost respect that he got his ass KICKED after all of the talk he did.

Sherk didn’t have to prove a damn thing to me.

I WILL ALWAYS BE A BIG FAN!

The man always shows up to fight and is more than prepared to take out any other LW that comes his way. Looking forward to see what his future has in store for him!

Sherk is a GREAT WARRIOR. His only disadvantage is the fact that he has SHORT ARMS. He was just as fast as BJ I think and he performed very well. Again, he has very short arms which makes it harder for the punch to reach. THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE JUMPING TO ANY CONCLUSIONS. Give the guy a break!!!!!!!!!

I’m just waiting for CYD CYANIDE to admit he was wrong about the fight, and how his boy couldn’t hang w/ BJ!
Told you so!

On a different note, BJ PENN (VS) GSP in HAWAII possibly in 2009? We can only hope so! I’m camping out for those tickets!

Here it is——camp out, buy as much tickets as possible, wait 2 days before the fight, then go straight to E-BAY / CRAIG’s LIST & make some SCRILLAAAAH!!!$$$CHA-CHING $$$$$$
