Yep, good stoppage, and great knee by BJ Penn. I know some people put the DREAM LW division ahead of the UFC's, but I now have BJ at #1 lightweight in the world, and probably #3 P4P.

BJ penn is number one my LW list too but collectively I think dream is more solid.
Oh, did Sherk break his hand like Goldie alluded to?
P.S. It is really sad when the fighter calls the fight and the ref just agrees. Not complaining about it though since Sherk would not have won anyways. He had a stupid game plan.

it would appear so.
perhaps he told mario his hand was broken and thats why it was stopped?
and i agree, only bj can call his own fight lmao

it appeared to me that sherk couldn't even get up, that would be a good reason to call it.
but either way it should have been stopped, that knee devastated sherk.
they get a minute between rounds for a reason.
if i remember correctly, silva left franklin lying up against the cage at the end of round 1 of fight 2 and his corner was allowed to literally pick him up and bring him to the corner.
franklin recovered and answered the bell for rnd 2.
unless sherk said to mario 'thats it' then he should've been given the chance to recover.

I think Mario realized he should've called it when the knee first hit and Sherk went down, sometimes refs call fights when they see a devastating technique land and do enough damage to crumple a guy because they know that it's the beginning of the end and anymore time is going to be damage dealt to the receiver.
I'm not a ref or anything but it just seems like Mario kinda thought, yeah that knee was perfect, that should've been it right there, like a late call or something, the extra punches just sealed it. I don't agree with it, just trying to make sense of what happened. I would've loved to see it go further.
