Oh… Sherk’s All Access circa 2007 sans Rachelle Leah. Sherk has got this one for sure. He’s way to big for Edgar. Maybe after this he’ll drop to 145.

I want to see BJ Penn do this workout! round one….4 minutes of continuous workout….and we’re done.

Could never happen. Well if he did he’d have to go to Kona for 4 weeks- you know because he can feel his body hitting a wall and he doesn’t peek too early and all…:/

Yeah i agree John, this is a lock.

Sherk does everything better than Frankie. I recon he’ll work him on the feet for the first two rounds then take him down and maul him on the floor in the third.

I would love to see Sherk get a couple big slams in this fight, not just takedowns. The pound the guy out, for god’s sake, don’t just wrestle around with him.

sean sherk and gleison tibau cut serious weight for 155 its sick to see how big they are

Geez, it was just a year ago everyone was busting The SteroidShark Sherk and was on the BJ Penn bandwagon, and now its the other way around.

Pft.

Sean tested POSITIVE for Nandrolone people (a decision taht was not overturned), and BJ stood up for something unpopular and because of it the rules have changed that legitimizes the sport just alittle bit more.

It’s nice to see Sean work hard, dont get me wrong – but i dont see what BJ did is worth all this hate – seriously. If the grease was a factor – id say it might be even more of a factor than the nandrolone was for sherk – and i LOVE GSP.

well put

I don’t hate BJ. However, he’s earned himself some teasing. We’ve seen walking underwater with rocks over his head and we’ve seen him balancing on a ball in some dude’s garage. Oh, and some ping pong. You see Sherk’s workout and it makes the contrast to real training clear. If you’re a BJ fan, the real horrific part is that BJ picked Sherk apart. Doesn’t seem like the universe should work that way.

I don’t know what you’re reading Jerrold. I believe Ovaries- well I’ll speak for myself- I was referring to BJ’s work ethic (which from what I recall has always been a topic of discussion and is still relevant) not greasegate. It’s not hate. I can be a BJ nuthugger and still not think he’s the hardest working mf’er out there.

Agreed DSmith, I’ll be rooting for Penn, but do I think he trains even remotley close to this hard? No way.

Agreed. Penn is a great fighter, but he wouldn’t last more than halfway through one of Sherk’s workouts, and even that is being a bit gracious. Penn is much more skilled than Sherk, but does not have Sherk’s type of work ethic. Imagine what Penn would be able to do if he did.

Talk about overtraining…. i think hes looking past Edgar a bit…. Sherk is by no means a lock, personally i think he lost to griffin to

Overtraining for looking past someone? Now how much sense does that make?

Not half as silly as the sight of a grown man crying!

True! BJ was never in that fight with GSP. One of the most one sided fights I have ever seen. That in itself is not really shameful, but having your mom testify on your behalf in a plea to overturn that beatdown is disgraceful.

Yes, I actually read through the REBUTTLE that he and his lawyer came up with as well; and it’s a perfectly reasonable argument supporting that that test was a false positive.

Ohhhhhhhhh, that old one. Pity Ben Johnson never tried that one at the 88 Olympics. He got caught, own up, be a man and move on!

What old one? To my knowledge he’s only tested positive for steroids one time, and that was a very questionable test, and the people with the CSAC were very incompetent with the sample submitted to them.

Horse Shit!

Why is that? Tell me the procedure on the testing and why it was fool proof, I’d like to see if you actually know what went on.

attakdog = pwned by O damn

FFS, the guy tests positive, is caught bang to rights, stripped of his belt and suspended. What more proof do you want?? A signed confession, photographic evidence???? Get over it!

Those tests aren’t infallible, they’re not 100% right 100% of the time; not even close. How is it that things are so black/white; 100% complete and reliable in your perfect little world? Why take on the “don’t confuse me with facts my minds made up” stance on a questionable subject?

agreed o damn. attackdog, sherk offered to do a lie detector test. and took one. 3 times. passed every time. he then offered to give the CSAC a blood sample which would be much more accurate than urine, because the first test was done using a urine sample, and yes, very questionable procedures took place. the CSAC denied sherk’s request to do a blood test, and instead reduced his suspension to 6 months. thats retarded. and fyi, nandrolone is a natural substance in the human body, sherks level was simply too high. so its very very plausable that the test was a false positive.

Loopholes and technicalities. If the guy was innocent, how come he wasn’t given his belt back straight away on return to the UFC??? If people are going to nitpick every single positive drugs test then nobody’s ever going to be convicted and cheats like Sherk are forever going to tarnish the name of this sport.

“Loopholes and technicalities. If the guy was innocent, how come he wasn’t given his belt back straight away on return to the UFC???”

His first match upon returning was a title fight against BJ PENN. He was thrown right back in to contend for the belt! wtf are you smoking? And YES if you’re innocent you should “nitpick” and not allow the CSAC to walk all over you. Christ, following your advice everyone should just bend over and take the shaft for other people’s screw ups!

Oh good comeback!

Lol, butt hurt because you’re blind bashing on Sherk despite the facts is wrong? Thats why you go straight for the throat and start personally attacking my intelligence? Yea don’t bother looking at facts; or reading anything that might contradict your uninformed uneducated opinion. Maybe if the transcript on the case were written with coloring pages and pop up sections you could understand what really went on.

Cry me a river! Tell me what the weather’s like when you take you’re head from up Sherks ass! The facts are he got caught roiding up, was stripped of his belt and served a suspension! Sounds guilty to me!

Hal-

LMAO.

The facts are he passed 3 polygraph tests, that the sample submitted by Sherk was handled improperly IE: every time they test a sample they are supposed to clean the machine and test it on purified water, if the machine comes up with anything but a negative result they are to clean the machine and then retest on purified water before moving on to a submitted sample. This was not the case as admitted by the CSAC they ran Sherks sample back to back with random athletes that could be from any sport!

The personnel never logged times for when they took the sample from the freezer or put it back in, in the log book it says sample taken out on such and such date. Then the next entry might be them taking it out again; there is no telling how long it sat out on a counter or wtf happened with it during that time. I could go on and on but this an OLD, DEAD issue.

If you want to blindly believe whatever you’re told and let your personal bias effect every opinion you make then thats fine, keep on droning.

If it was like a roid, talks like a roid, smells like a roid, it must be Sean Sherk.

My opinion be edukated.

Sounds like somebody has too many Sean Sherk posters on their wall.

No??

All the nit picking excuses in the world don’t hide the fact that He’s guilty, Get Over It!

i only have one, and its only cuz its autographed. but O dam is right. give it a rest, its a dead issue.

Bottom line is Sherk will beat the crap outta Frank Edgar

I like Sean Sherk, I look forward to his fights, I’m not a huge fan but it is possible that this was a false positive or a result of tainted supplements of some kind. And with the incompetence displayed by the CSAC as well as their incoherent appeals process and decision to reduce Sherk’s sentence, I think it’s at least worth questioning or thinking about and not just accepting as a fact.

You’re guys best argument is “he’s buff, he’s guilty”. And the o so genius “your dumb, your parents wish you weren’t born”; that was grade school calibur right there. At least come up with something substantial to support your bashing.

Not if he forgets to take off his isolation mask before the fight.

I’m not a Sherk fan but I agree that he has a very legitimate argument against the positive steroid test. O Damn didn’t even bring up the fact that even though his appeal didn’t overturn the decision, they did shorten his suspension. Do you think the CSAC would have done that if they were confident that he used steroids? I certainly don’t. Some people just love bashing certain fighters and don’t like to let things like ‘facts’ or ‘evidence’ get in the way of their hate.

He tested positive for steroids – EVIDENCE – everything else is just speculation – FACT -

So passing 3 polygraph tests, the specimen being submitted to the CSAC was handled improperly ie: not properly documented, maintained or properly tested as is supported by the logs kept by the employees themselves and the CSAC reducing Sherks sentence are all just speculation? Right…

You’re right Hal. The 3 polygraph tests he passed are just speculation. So is the admission of the CSAC that they improperly handled his sample when they tested it.

i believe that Sherk didnt intentionally do drugs atleast!

Ok Ok, Greg C, O Damn, you got me. I’m the idiot here.

Boys, he tested positive for steroids. Is it possible that it was a mistake, I guess, but it’s just a possible that there wasn’t and in this case there is more tangible evidence to suggest that he did. All the he said she said about handling, and the polygraph tests that were administered by who knows who is just smoke and mirrors. There’s a reason they don’t use those things in court, and there’s a reason that a rapist who leaves semen at the scene will likely still go to jail even if there is speculation about shabby work in the lab.

I’m not calling sherk a rapist, i’m just saying. The argument that he did not do them has less substance than the argument that he did do them.

At the end of the day he will not be a champ as long as there is elite competition in his division. He has fought the best and been beaten handidly on every occasion.

O damn is right. There is plenty of evidence to show that the test was not 100% accurate. One thing I can’t help but notice is that he still looks exactly the same, and trains just as hard. We know he has past several tests since then.

I’d like to see that fight too, but I think it would be a pretty one-sided beatdown by Sherk. I think Sherk could frustrate Guida in much the same way that Guida frustrated Mac Danzig in their fight.

The wrestling would likely cancel eachother out. Sherk seems to be big on boxing these days too so I would give the stand up advantage to Sherk.
