Quoteworthy:
"After the fight was over I went for a run. I was kind of frustrated and just had to burn off some steam, so I just went for a jog, and I left before I talked to the doctor. The doctor didn’t get a chance to look at me. I wasn’t hurt at all so I just said f--- it, I’m going for a run. The [NSAC] got kind of pissed because I didn’t talk to the doctor first and they suspended me for 45 days for that. It’s kind of excessive I think. I don’t think I deserve to get suspended for going for a run. I wasn’t gone that long. I was gone maybe an hour. But what do you do?"
Former UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk explains why he bolted from the Octagon and into the streets of Las Vegas following his unanimous decision loss to Frank Edgar at UFC 98: "Evans vs. Machida" at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. "The Muscle Shark" eventually returned to the venue to submit his post-fight urinalysis. If he didn’t, Sherk would have been in major trouble from the Nevada State Athletic Commission -- who insist Sherk’s suspension was strictly medical and had nothing to do with him running for the hills following the bout.

And the tears streaming down my face were caused by the strong Vegas wind.

And you didn’t deserve to get suspended for doping either.

Don’t tell me that’s from the movie “Running Man”!
So I guess Dana’s reported Tweet was true. What a loser, I had to let off some steam, get real. Who the fu_k runs for an hour right after an MMA fight?
What did he have to do, take a leak, drink a gallon of water, and submit his sample?

As an ex offender he could have got more. People would have seen it as bolting from tests.

That was a big fight to drop, especially for Sherk who was right up there with BJ PENN; but thats his fault for not using some TD’s early on in the fight.

“Killian, here’s your Subzero, now plain zero…”
Gotta love Sherk. “After the fight was over I went for a run.” Priceless. :)

I hope Sherk comes back better and that he will go like all round. Not only striking. he should takem down R1-R2
and at round 3 he could strike
