When Penn/Sherk was announced in January, it was going to be my fave card of the year. Now its just ridiculous.

I'm going for Machida by ko, Jardine by ko, and Penn by either submission or tko, I think Penn's cardio is way better then Sherk's. Sherk is a muscle freak/roid freak, and he is going to lose. Did you see that awesome 2 round fight last night between Serra and GSP? That was awesome, huh? Anyways, what do you think?
How is Sherk/Penn not "hype". It is the biggest fight on the card, between two of the best lightweights to ever fight in the UFC. Doesn't get much more hype than that.

"Penn's cardio is better the Sherk" this statement alone leads me to believe you are very uneducated what cardio actually is. Sean Sherk has the best cardio at Lightweight, and BJ Penn's is not even close

Oh, and Wanderlei will kill Jardine.

I hope Wandy destroys Jardine, I never really liked Jardine.

BJs cardio has always been suspect, its not even comparable to Sherk's. If it goes past round 3, I don't think BJ has much chance. Fortunately, BJ is eons beyond Sherk and I think he will have it finished by 2:00 of the second. He should be training way above average, knowing how strong Sherk is means an especially strong cardio game is needed regardless of BJJ/wrestling/striking advantage there is.

If wanderlei can't beat Lidell, and Jardine beat Lidell then what makes you think Wanderlei will smoke Jardine? It just doesn't add up. Get your story straight and come back ,and we can talk more.
Wow, I can tell I'm not going to be wasting my time answering your posts in the near future....but anyways I'll do this one for now.

For some reason I highly doubt you've watched every event since UFC 1.....or you wouldn't have made such a ridiculous post.

Sherk's cardio is not good, it is great. BJ Penn's (as of late) has been not so great at all. I'm no scientist but I really doubt that steroids had a huge affect on his cardio, I would not be expecting to see anything less than for Sherk's cardio to be just as great as it always is.

And to the Jardine/Silva/Liddell thing - maybe because MMA math doesn't work at all? So basically by your logic Rampage can't beat Wanderlei in two tries, but Chuck can beat Wanderlei. So what makes you think Rampage can beat Chuck? OH, wait he already beat him down twice.

Styles make fights. And unlike Chuck, Wandy will not give Jardine the time he needs to pick him apart with his gorilla style boxing and harsh leg kicks/gameplan. Wanderlei will do exactly the opposite of what Chuck did, and will come right at Jardine with his aggresive style, giving him no time to execute his counters. And just like when Jardine fought Houston, he will be knocked out quick.

I've got my story plenty straight my young friend.

I'm no expert on steroids, but it seems like even though they increase strength, they'd sorta sap your cardio. I guess I'd have to do some research, but what do you guys think? Plus, if you've got more adrenaline pumping, it seems like you'd gas sooner. You ever been in a stressful situation where you had to endure something physically, such as in a fight? If you can't control your nerves and your adrenaline is pumping, you gas out in no time. Then again, I'm not an "elite" athlete, nor are the friends of mine with similar experiences. My point is that I just don't believe steroids are the reason Sherk's cardio is so great. I do believe he juiced, but I also believe the dude's work ethic is insane.

i would look at it all this way....

BJ Penn, better in every department except strength, cardio and possibly wrestling.

Sherk, Use your advantages to beat BJ, pour on the power and similar to St Pierre, he will try to overwelm BJ with pressure and strength thereby nullifying BJ's exceptional skill and possible lack of cardio beyond 3 rounds.

BJ will know exactly what Sherk will do as do we all. Therefore he will add some strength and put himself in the best possible shape ever cardio wise.

i go back and forward in this fight all the time, so i come to the conclusion of this - if it goes 5 rounds Sherk will win. If less than 5 Rounds BJ will win by Sub/TKO.

I am hanging for this fight more than most ive seen recently.

that's a very BIG maybe.
bjs tdd is LEGENDARY.
how much better can sherk possibly be at wrestling if he cant take bj down?
we'll have to see of course, but i wouldnt be surprised if sherk only takes bj down ONCE in the whole fight only to have bj back to his feet without taking any damage.

i think bj will win decisively.
