i say penn, especially if sherk looks as he did against franca, smaller than usual, ducking into knees. it'd be hard to take down penn, who prevented hughes at ww from doing so for a long while, and i can see penn sweeping sherk. heck penn would prolly shoot in first

Yeah I say Penn takes it but not easily. Sherk is just a beast with amazing conditioning so he is able to take those hard hits and escape sub attempts. There were too many holes in Sherks game against Franca to slip by BJ Penn though I think.

I'll be betting on BJ. Sherk is an animal and is as strong as an ox at 155 but BJ choked out Matt Hughes when Hughes probably weighed over 180 pounds at the time of the fight. And I gotta say that Hughes is stronger then Sherk.

A lot of guys picking Sherk say he'll overwhelm BJ but I don't see that at all. BJ knows what Sherk's gonna do, he's all conditioning, and fights at 100 miles an hour but he won't finish BJ, he doesn't have the skills standing or on the ground to put him away.

I see it going like Hughes/Penn 2 would have went had BJ not messed up his rib. BJ by TKO or sub in the third.

If its a title fight (5 rounds) I'd put my money on Sherk. I think Sherk is strong enough to power out of most subs, and smart enough to avoid the others. Then the cardio kicks in and Sherk certainly takes BJ down at will.

probably one of the only guys at 155 that sherk wouldnt be able to get a decision out of. penn has faced better grapplers and strikers then himself but bj is so good at both he would probably get a tko or submission.

BJ takes this one. Sherk just doesn't finish fights and BJ does. If you look at BJ v. GSP and then GSP v. Sherk along with each of them fighting Hughes you know who wins. I don't like MMA math but in this instance I think it's applicable. BJ's flexabilty and overall well roundedness wins this fight by submission in round 2.
