I wonder if the UFC executives get both guys in a room before filming the promos and they in unison come up with catchy stuff to say about one another.

Sherk and BJ have been going back and forth. I just can't wait for the 24th. Actually, the 23rd (to see what kind of shape Sherk comes in at, and if BJ will taunt him if he comes in "deflated")

I haven't really kept up with what they have been saying about each other since UFC 80 happened because listening to Sherk talk is like watching paint dry to me, but I did find it ironic when Penn (who I support in what he said), called out Sherk for the steroid stuff and just trashed him. Then during his UFC 80 victory interview, he said "Sean Sherk, your're dead." Then when Sherk got in the ring, he was all respectful, shook his hand, and said it's going to be a good fight. Then went back to the trash talk later. It's just wierd.
And I know it's good sportsmanship to make up after the fight is over despite all the trash talk but that all seems so fake to me. The most gratifying ending to a personal battle was when Clementi choked out Guillard and afterwards, they still hated each other. If you hate each other, don't fake it for buildup. Just hate each other, fight and go right on hating each other.
