I would love to see BJ fight the winner of Sherk vs. Franca. BJ is one of my favorites and watching him fight for a title would be great, but seeing Diego and BJ fight would be a sweet ass consolation prize. Whatever the case I just want to see his conditioning on the same level that it was at when he fought Jens. When he is in shape he is a beast!!

Sherk and franca are down to 155 , BJ penn is going up to 170.
I agree with you...why in the heck cut so damn hard to take out Pulver , why not stay and take out Sherk.
Sherk is a beast at 155, i heard Rogan speculate last night that he thinks a Hydrated Sherk is around 180 pounds.
All that muscle lets him dehydrate down to 155 to make weight then he hydrates back up to 180ish......
No wonder he is a f**king beast.

I dont know about Tito to be honest.....
I dont see a plusable explanation on how Franka can beat sherk.
I dont see Franka as being on par with Ken Florian fighting from his back( were he is going to end up).
I think Florian given another chance mgiht be able to beat Sherk....so its not like i dont think a Judo/ju-jitsu fighter CANT beat Sherk.....
Hell Diaz went toe to toe with him and more then a few people Think Diaz beat him. In fact Nick diaz seems to never actually get beat, he might loose but he does not really get beat. .......
i think both Diaz and Florian could beat Sherk given a second chance....So i think he is beatable by a judo/ju-jitsu type.....i just dont think Franka is that guy.

I gotta go with Tito, have never bet against him. Lets hope hes taking this fight seriously as doesn't look to Evans as a stepping stone. But IMO, this will be Evans real test if he is a contender, because IMO hes hardly fought anyone worthy. Just like Hermes, this is his shot he hasn't really fought anyone since Yves Edwards, Hermes gotta take this fight to the ground.

Tito has everything to loose. IF he wants to remain legitimate he has to show up.
I feel bad for franka if he ends up on the ground with Sherk....not even Diaz wanted to go to the ground with sherk. Sherk looks commical standing up. He want to be a Boxer...but he has those short little arms, its funny watching him stand up....course he is insanely active on the ground or standing up.

I just think Hermes has a better chance on the ground, Sherk is a hammer and hes very quick. He was f**king up Matt Hughes in UFC 42, I still think they should've gave the decision to Sherk or atleast draw, Hughes worked him on the ground though. But Hermes better be on top of his game and he better hold onto Sherk when he has him, slippery little f**ker Sherk is!!!

Sorry to stray here, but I don't want to start a new thread:
What's the deal with this IFL on VS.??? I dig MMA, but I'm not really on top of the scene. These IFL guys seem like they're minor league types. Is that pretty much what these guys are???

I really wouldn't say minor leaguers, they just have a different way of presenting MMA. Each known MMA fighter has his own team, I don't really follow it since it comes on at weird times here in Hawaii. But I heard theirs a 18 year old kid thats a beast in the IFL. Anyone else got more info even I'd like to know.

When I think of Cung Le the word "fast" pops in my head. His kicks are lethal, when he fights, sometimes I think I'm watching a movie, maybe its because Le is very accurate. Why would you wanna stand up with someone like Le, unless you want your head kicked off with him and his San Shou style. Would love to see him fight either Anderson Silva or David Loiseau.

Cung Le is one of my favorite fighters, He's the only fighter I have seen in MMA that looks like he's in a Kung Fu movie. I went to the last Strikeforce and man he really put on a show and he has yet show his body throws and scissors kick yet
