    Okay... I'm assuming he doesn't have weak skin.

    that's fine:good
    I don't think he cut as easily as Sherk, but he don't have the skin of a native

    Yes, well GSP isn't likely to play the role of punching bag like Sherk did - especially knowing that he can actually take Penn to the mat.

    I'm sure he COULD but he would have an extremely low success rate if he ever fought him, he'd most likely get KTFO in the process. Was this a serious question? Couture had a tough time taking Liddel down :deal

    That annoyed me a bit how he waved the fight off for the ref. I mean, don't get me wrong, if SHerk had of made it into the second round he would have more than likely been screwed anyway, he was on the decline- but I just don't agree with fighters stopping the fight themselves, it's up to the ref.

    P.S Penn was ****ing incredible- I'd love to see a cardio-fit Penn fight GSP soon!

    Ah... it's no different than a boxer turning to the ref and giving him the "He's done" look. Penn just didn't see the need to pound Sherk anymore for an outcome that was already settled. I applaud it.

    I agree with that any other time- but because the bell had gone, I think Sherk at least deserved the chance to see out the mid-round break and try to come back. A few minutes can make all the difference... Then again Penn probably just would've KTFO again.:!:

    I can agree with that - but Sherk was spent. He wasn't really even trying to get back up.

    True. I wasn't even paying attention to Sherk to be honest, I was so amped when Penn won!:good

    Same thing here. I didn't notice Sherk until BJ ran back over to wipe him and lick whatever it was he was licking off Sherk's face.... or whatever Penn was doing. :conf

    :lol: The blood he was licking off Sherk's face- It'll be interesting if Penn tests positive for Nandralone in the next few weeks after sampling Sherk's blood :think

    Eeh... maybe. After that and him kissing Matt Hughes, I wonder exactly what they put in the water in Hawaii.

    I would like to see that in a practice for fun, if GSP would be able to put Liddell on his back with his great explosion!
