looking at BJs career solely as a LW is pretty damn impressive - his overall record is 8-1-1 but when you look at who he beat and the overall quality of opponnents that 80% win ratio is even more impressive
in his 8 wins at LW - Penn's opponnents combined record was 102-21-3 (81% win rate). that only one fight went the distance and he fought Stevenson, Pulver, Gomi (when he was 15-1), Serra, Uno & Din Thomas (when he was 13-1).
his only loss was to Pulver (14-3-1 record at the time) and he drew against uno (15-4-2 at the time)
granted he slows down after the second round - as has been his mo, but thats one impressive resume. the more I think about his fight with sherk the more excited i get ... it is going to be a fucking battle!
Good post. I can't wait for this fight. Penn is just insanely good but even so I think it's possible that Sherk can cause major problems if he survives an initial onslaught.
The way Sherk has been passing guard has been very impressive
i still think that sherk wins the fight - but wouldnt be shocked if bjs hands set up another submission win for him
