Sean Sherk

Josh Neer will replace an injured Sean Sherk in a lightweight bout against Gleison Tibau at UFC 104 on Oct. 24 in Los Angeles, according to a source close to the matchup.

PHILADELPHIA - Kenny Florian had waited for last night for almost three years. Since losing a title fight to Sean Sherk in October 2006, Florian had been on a mission to get...

Every fan of the Kenny Florian that lost to Sean Sherk in 2006 doesn't have a favorite fighter anymore. Even fans of the Kenny Florian that dominated Joe Stevenson just a short nine months ago are out of luck. Sorry guys. Those Florians no longer exist.

A lightweight bout between Sean Sherk (33-4-1 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and Gleison Tibau (12-7 MMA, 5-4 UFC), first...

It's not just that Sherk only attempted three takedowns (landing one successfully). It's that you'll notice Edgar attempted five and Sherk shrugged all of them off. Sherk is not only a good offensive MMA takedown artist, but his takedown defense is ...

This fight won't count against my record due to the last minute replacement (but just as a reminder I did predict Larson to win by submission). Sean Sherk v. Frank Edgar: Edgar looked really impressive in this fight. He had great cardio, more diverse ... Minute-by-minute: UFC 98 weigh-ins ESPN

By Section 233 Despite his embarrassing defeat, BJ Penn is one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, Kenny Florian is not.  BJ Penn doesn’t relish the opportunity to fight lightweights, or ordinary fighters.  He was motivated for Pulver to settle a grudge, motivated for Stevenson strictly to win the...

By Dave Sholler In one of the most dominating performances of his career, welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre retained his title at UFC 94 last Saturday by soundly defeating lightweight champion BJ Penn. GSP IS A BAD MAN… GUIDA IS IN THE LIGHTWEIGHT MIX…

By Ivan Trembow(noreply@blogger.com) In the GSP-Penn fight, Penn showed up to fight and looked to be in good shape, but GSP was simply too good. White was also quoted as saying that the Nevada State Athletic Commission was "flipping out" about it and was "screaming" at St. Pierre's cornermen about it.

By Dave Sholler BJ Penn has all of the talent to be considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. If he sticks to these keys at UFC 94, he may just prove it. In a rematch of their highly controversial 2006 clash, lightweight champion BJ Penn moves up to 170 pounds to challenge welterweight titleho...

By Pat Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn The main event of the evening is a superfight of epic proportions, as current welterweight champion Georges “Rush” St. Pierre and current Lightweight champion BJ “The Prodigy” Penn will do battle for the second time. Penn by TKO, round 3

By Press Release E. BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – UFC lightweight sensation Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon fights once again in the main event February 7, headlining “UFC Fight Night” on Spike TV against fellow Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist Hermes Franca, live from the Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida.

By Jared Leatzow The lightweight division is still dominated by Japanese fight promotions that have under contract guys like JZ Calvan, Joachim Hansen, Eddie Alvarez, and Shinya Aoki. UFC can only stake claim to B.J. Penn, Sean Sherk, and Kenny Florian.

By Jessy Morris So let's get started. I decided to start the interactive tournament with the lightweight division this week. The top eight fighters are: Nate Diaz, Tyson Griffin, Roger Huerta, Kenny Florian, Clay Guida, Frankie Edgar, Sean Sherk and Joe Stevenson.

By Darren Wong 1. Many people believe that BJ Penn doesn't deserve the fight.  After all, beating Jens Pulver and Joe Stevenson, and Sean Sherk isn't really that impressive.  Leonard Garcia just destroyed Jens Pulver, and Uriah Faber beat him soundly.

By Patrick McCauley Both Florian and Sherk have expressed interest in a second bout between them to determine the number one contender at 155 during Penn’s hiatus, but this match has little upside for the UFC.  If Sherk were victorious, then he’d have to face Penn again and I don’t think there is much interest f...

By Larry Vollmer I recently had the opportunity to speak with “The Muscle Shark” Sean Sherk, who is coming off of an impressive and dominating victory over Tyson Griffin at UFC 90. Sherk has stated that he wants the winner of the Stevenson/Florian match up that takes place at UFC 91. Sherk also believes that t...

By bfowlkes One man who won’t be sorry to see California State Athletic Commissioner Armando Garcia go is Sean Sherk, who still feels like he got a raw deal on his steroid case thanks to Garcia and his bungling of the appeals process. Sherk told MMA Rated that he “knew the guy had some issues” that would le...

Mike trains with Josh...

By raymcilroy The whole MMA community is arguing about Silva vs Cote. Many say Cote took Silva further in the Octagon and that is commendable alone. While others claim Silva toyed with Cote for two rounds, so it doesn’t mean anything. And the diehard Silva fans claim that the sheer force of his awesomeness c...

By mma_dude I really don't understand all the criticism of either Cote or Silva. And I was actually impressed with Cote. Does he have any chance of beating Silva -- No! But he did frustrate Silva and he has one hell of a chin. It was the chin that was most frustrating for Silva, in my opinion.  I mean, we have alw...

By BJJDenver Maynard. Many people think he is the next great LW. I think he almost bored me to death last night. Griffin. See Sherk. High points...Rachelle Leah, Chicago, Sherk and Griffin and Kos and Alves, oh my. Low points...main event, Maynard and Clementi, lackluster card to an extent.

By Steve Cofield White also broke down the Sean Sherk win over Tyson Griffin and Junior Dos Santos' shocking upset against Fabricio Verdum. He also had a good theory about how his pre-fight video blogs had a major effect in Las Vegas. Part 1 (Cofield w/Adam Hill, Las Vegas Review-Journal):

By Pat For an underdog pick go with Marcus Aurelio and Thiago Alves, in my opinion they have the biggest chances of pulling it off. Aurelio will be facing his former student, Hermes Franca, which has grown into bad blood and Franca being kicked out of American Top Team. Both fighters match up prett...
