If it was just licking his gloves maybe it's not as bad, but the fact that he made a point of going all the way across the Octagon to Sherk to wipe some blood off his face was a complete lack of respect. From another view, how is what he did classy?
wasn't the reach advantage like 3 inches? that isn't that big of a gap at all....sherk was a lil too wild in the exchanges and wasn't fast enough getting out of the pocket on some of bj's right hands....
It looked way larger then that. He was countering instantly, or as a punch reached him, and his hands were like 4-5 inches from BJ. I think it was the reach for sure.
I was actually amazed how fast sherk was.

i really wanted to see some more combination takedowns....cept he usually sets them up w/ his right hand....which he wasn't throwing much....bj was just too much for him...
and boucing off the cage at the end was really really stupid...basically asking for a flying knee...but who knows...he may have had no choice

That's just BJ being BJ.
Same thing when he kissed Matt Hughes after he choked him out.
Thats like his trademark. Like that thing Liddell does after a win or GSP break dancing after a win.
Now if BJ were to get on the mic, cuss up a storm and take a shit on Sherk, then I could understand your point but he was classy after the fight.
I think sherk was the better fighter but the reach was his inevitable downfall. But, from a pure skill point of view, he "outfought" him.
The dumb-sounding steroid bitch lost to BJ!
Wooooo hooooooo!
I thought the steroid bitch was fortunate that BJ did not get him to the ground earlier-- his only hope was the stand up game and even that proved useless.
He was respectful to Sherk after acting like an asshat, both after the fight. I've always enjoyed watching BJ fight but that bit was totally lacking in class and to say it was classy is ridiculous. It was just plain sick when he did it after the Stevenson fight and I figured it was just a heat of the moment lapse in judgement, tonight it was not. Aside from the last two fights when has he licked his opponents blood off his gloves? I don't remember seeing him do it before Stevenson or I would have mentioned it a long time ago.

Hooray for BJ!
Didn't Bj try a take down and sherk thwarted it?
And, I said Bj won the stand up, but I think sherk had the better striking but unfortunately, his reach is just too small.
My final point of this post, BJ easily sounds twice as retarded as sherk in their interviews. He refers to himself as BJ penn for one...
