It's a shame this fight is happening so soon, in my opinion. I was hoping for these two to meet up in the future, possibly for a title match. If anyone, I think it will be Franca that will give Sean Sherk the biggest fight when he's ready to defend his title. I don't see Fisher taking Sherk out, his wrestling definitely isn't strong enough and Sherk would outmuscle and pound him. Franca's jiu-jitsu is really strong, he could possibly submit Sherk and he could avoid being controlled.
I'm pulling for Fisher to beat Franca, though.

What the hell is taking so long for Sherk to fight anyway? It seems like it's been forever. |

Sherk has a torn rotator cuff. A couple of articles have said he's going to be out until Summer. |

That's what I've heard, too. I wonder if it was from his fight with Florian. Can anyone confirm that?

The scheduled light heavyweight bout between Seth Petruzelli (5-3) and Hector Ramirez (6-2-1) at UFC Fight Night 8 is off.
Here’s a snip from a Petruzelli MySpace bulletin:
het guys…the guy i was supposed to fight for the ufc this month just pulled out…ill let you all know more when i do.
According to MMAWeekly.com, Ramirez had to pull out because of an ankle injury sustained during training.
With the event just two weeks away, it’s not known whether or not a last-minute replacement will be brought in to challenge the former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season two contestant or the card will just feature eight fights.
We’ll let you know more when we find out.

I'm really looking forward to this event. 3 of the 4 main bouts look good and the main event with probably be decent with Salmon proving people wrong.
