    I think GSP would match up well against him because he's so well rounded. GSP also has good enough stand up to avoid getting kneed to death in a matter of seconds. There's a 15 pound weight difference between them though, and I think that could be the difference.

    Man, wtf. I missed Silva-Jardine. I walked out of the room after Reljic won, didn't think I was gone that long. :twisted:

    :lol: @ Penn-Sherk the "biggest lightweight match in UFC history".

    yeah 15 pound weight difference can be a major point

    If you were gone more than 36 seconds, you missed it! I couldn't even make a sandwich that fast.

    No clue why Rogan's so wishy washy when asked who's winning this round. Penn clearly outboxing Sherk.

    Penn knocked Sherk out in the dying seconds of the third with a big knee and then some strikes.

    **** I wanted to see what's sherk would had bringing in the 4 and 5th round
    well good win for Penn
    I would like to see GSP again vs him
    Gsp is a much improved fighter, and GSP striking is way better than it was when he fought BJ

    Alright, official update for people at work:

    Penn comes at Sherk hard with about 10 seconds left in the third, barely missing an uppercut. Sherk backs up into the fence, and Penn comes in witha running knee, dropping Sherk. With about 5 seconds left, Penn starts laying into a crumpbled Sherk. The buzzer sounds, ending the round. Penn stands up, looks at a downed Sherk, and says that it's over. The ref still hasn't called it and it looks like Sherk was saved by the bell. Penn, again, gestures that Sherk is cooked. Sherk can't make it back to his corner and indeed, Penn, is right.

    Huerta/Florian winner? Though it sounds like BJ wants to go back after GSP. I think he's twice the fighter at 155 though.

    Man what a knee by Penn. I am suprised that Sherk was not completely out cold he leaned right into that. Possibly the most complete fighter in MMA right now and without question reigns supreme as a lightweight.

    Calling out St. Pierre as well. Would be a great fight as both have improved a deal but I think GSP stops him, 2nd round. Too much size
