BJ Penn vs Shawn Sherk in November

[tripwicked]

Announced at the post-fight press conference

Hell yeah...

They also announce Franklin vs Silva and Tito/Rashad 2 on the October card.

They ALSO announced that if Crocop beats Kongo that he will face Big Nog.

[diddydidit]

fuck ya...bj 1st round sub...and new

[Annonomous432]

sherk is a animal.

[tripwicked]

BJ will definitely win. The lightweight division is so stacked right now, it will make for some great fights.

I would like to see Joe Stevenson get a shot sometime in the near future.

[Annonomous432]

i like sherk better(sorry diddy), but unfortunately i thnk bj will win.

[diddydidit]

WHAT thems fighting words lol, sherk is an animal for sure but bj is the most talented fighter in the world imo, he beat hughes and almost beat gsp the two guys who beat sherk, if he comes in shape sherks in trouble

[Annonomous432]

they beat sherk at 170, sherk is in his prime weight at 155. big diff imo.

[diddydidit]

so is bj

[ManOfMuscle]

I don't see what weapons bj really has against sherk but I'm confident he'll put together a winning gameplan.

After B.J. beat Pulver...Pulver was gracious in defeat and had alot to say to B.J. and the fans. B.J. said simply to "Go to B.J.Penn.com" if they wanted to hear what he had to say. That was disrespectful. I was shocked he just blew off Pulver after all the hugs and all and mostly the fans.
No offense...more power to ya if ya like him but Im no longer a fan....I was.

[rythemgrl]

looking forward

[ManOfMuscle]

Should be called off by now what with sherk on suspension and all.

[EDDIE1980]

Looks like it will be alot of hype-

But deserved hype

I'd go with Penn

[Tsaunders]

Penn doesnt have a chance at winning

[ManOfMuscle]

Penn doesnt have a chance at winning

That's silly. Sherk will be nothing without his precious steroids.

[Tsaunders]

All sherk has to do is hold bj down, te he he bj

[ManOfMuscle]

Seriously though, isn't he suspended?

[dirkdiggler9969]

Sherk is suspended for a year. The normal protocall is to have an open title fight with the 2 highest ranked guys. It will be BJ and someone. Kenny Florian, Joe Stevenson, or Spencer Fisher are my guessed. My money would be on Fisher because his last fight was so amazing. I think BJ will beat all 3 of them.

I think it would be cool if they did a Grand Prix type deal like Pride had to determine the new champ.

I never understood why the hell the put Kenny Florian in the first title fight.

If they do go with 1 & 2, my money is BJ and Joe Stevenson. I don't think Fisher will get it due to his recent loss to Franca and Kenny already had his shot.

Yeah BJ should make quick work of any of those guys but Fisher is the best matchup.

I think BJ will be untouchable at LW, but it doesn't sound like he wants to fight at 155. He's a great striker, great BJJ, and one of the best takedown defences. The top 170lbs guys had a tough time with BJ, so I don't know how the LW will fair against him.

I would like to see Ken Flo and Joe Stevenson fight and the winner get a title shot with BJ.
