I'm glad they both decided to stand. Made it interestng. Considering how everyone was saying it's gonna be evenly matched. And how If Sean survived the first three rounds he was gonna be OK. And BJ's cardio is gonna be a factor. The match was totally away from everyones predictions of the fight. I for one expected (wanted) it to go to the gound. But what happened was just as good.
As for BJ vs GSP. I'd love to see it happen. Someone mentioned awhile back that it should be some sort of SUPERFIGHT at 165.
they've done it before, Hughes/Gracie was at a 175 catch weight

Last week I was criticizing the UFC because they haven't done this before. Can someone help me with the foot in my mouth? Forgot all about that being at 175
Never seen a fighter call a stoppage before and I hope never to see it again. Shades of Steve Assagatti in there reffing. Just when I thought Penn was going to grow up he goes and pulls another nutsack move, not only pretending to lick Sherks blood off his gloves but making a point of running all the way across the Octagon to wipe some blood off of Sherks face for the theatrics. Absolutely classless.
Sherk couldn't even get up at the sound of the bell

don't start PMS because your boy lost. There was nothing BUT class after the fight. BJ licks the blood all the time.
One of these days Penn is going to get tested positive for AIDS or some other shit because he has this wierd ass obesession with licking other peoples blood!
Anyways, good fight! BJ really pulled it off and I hope he stays at LW!
That's how BJ maintains his powers. I'm guessing it is like a Highlander kind of deal.
For a long time I have thought BJ was the best P4P fighter in the World and certainly the best lightweight in the world. He's proved it tonight in such impressive fashion. His stand up is great. It was like watching a boxing match and Sherk was just completely out matched. He looked all right at the beginning, but after time it was just going to get worse and worse for him.
arrr the beauty of MMA, so unpredictable. Bj will do this, Sherk will do that. Not to be fight fans.
I though that was awesome. I must say it was probably a decent plan by sherk to stand for 2 rounds but then 3 im thinking whats he doing. Most guys wont last 3 rounds on the feet with BJ anyhow.
Great win by a great champion.
I must say BJ should stay at 155 and fight florian or huerta, then maybe look at a 170 fight. He really should give that some serious thought b4 jumping back to 170 after 3 straight demolition wins at 55. Pulver, Stevenson & Sherk, not a bad way to start at 55.
