I think if BJ wants his best shot at Sherk, he needs to work takedowns and sweeps almost exclusively. BJ does have better: stand-up, bjj, and takedown defense... but Sherk has great cardio, GnP, and takedowns.
I think BJ would "shock the world" if he was able to takedown the wrestler. Make Sherk work off his back just like GSP and Hughes did. If he can't take Sherk down, his sweeps could make all the difference. Being on the receiving end of Sherk's GnP isn't terrible for 1 round... it's taking it for 2 or 3 rounds that makes it tough. In this 5 round fight, BJ needs to show his dominance early and take the cardio factor away as well as the takedowns.
Either way it'll be exciting, but I want BJ to punish Sherk for no reason other than BJ is more versatile.
