I think Jardine got lucky catching Chuck at a strang time in his career and realy neither fighter earned a win. I think Sherk can knock out Penn But I am with Penn. Tito could still be great but He has had enough and Wants to bang porn stars and "act". It is too bad because I think he won the Evans fight.

REALLY? i know everyone is entitled to their opinion,
but i find a few of your statements a bit interesting. let's see::
"I would love to see Tyson Griffin get a chance at the title, he has eaned it"
- yeah. could be a good fight, but i dont see him pulling taking the belt from either sherk or penn, personally.
"Huerta is good and winning but I think he knows he is not ready for a Stephenson or a title shot"
- agreed. havent seen that he has true KO power in his standup (i know guida got caught with a knee when he was shooting, n i dont know what to make of halverson's debut...) he also couldnt KO a guy like l.garcia who is a 145lber even tho he landed A LOT of punches to his head. he hasnt shown to be the best wrestler (guida was dominating the scrambles and TDs) and he hasnt shown the best TDD (also see the guida fight.) i also dont see him as being particularly dangerous off his back, SO the question is, if he were to face the top5 of the division, what facet of the fight would he dominate? he has great heart n cardio, but that doesnt make u a champ in todays MMA. all the champs(all weightclasses) have some combo of
1. devastating KO power
2. crazy good BJJ (can sub off back)
3. great wrestling including TDD
i dont think huerta has any of those things YET, but he's young...
"Jardine got lucky catching Chuck at a strang time in his career"
- chuck definitely seems like he is not 100% of his former self.
"Sherk can knock out Penn"
- really curious why u think that. anyone can always get hit with a 'lucky punch' at any time, but:
1. when's the last time sherk knocked someone out? it must have been a while, and now that he aint roidin'...
2. when's the last time penn was KO'd? ever? cant remember it happening. cant even remember him gettin rocked bad due to strikes. seem him gassed n fade but never seen a penn fight when his chin was an issue.
3. i think penn has better hands/boxing skills.
