Bill Paxton?
Dang looking old.
He looks so Minnesotan though. One of us. One of us.
Always thought Sherk was underrated. Only lost to the cream of the crop. Just didn't have that crowd pleasing style.

Glad he's doing fine.
Nice interview. Lol @ the opinion on Frankie's dancing. Even other fighters say it..
Thanks for posting. Good read.
Nice.
Always easy to forget this:
"Sherk went 36-4-1 with his losses coming only against legends: Hughes, BJ Penn, GSP, and Frankie Edgar."
eljamaiquino - Nice interview. Lol @ the opinion on Frankie's dancing. Even other fighters say it..Nah-uh he's just not a real Mma fan if he doesn't appreciate the technical genius of jab n jog
You realize Frankie just knocked out the a perennial top 3 featherweight, in the first round..
2breath2feel - You realize Frankie just knocked out the a perennial top 3 featherweight, in the first round..You know his career extends longer than the last year

Very cool interview. Interesting stuff he had to say about guys he fought...
GSP:
He was a really good game-planner. I always felt like I was one step behind him. As soon as I felt I had caught up and was ready to make a move, he’d slip ahead. It was really a chess match with him and it felt like he was once step ahead the entire match.
Nick Diaz:
His ground game was unbelievable. He has these gummy long legs and incredible flexibility. He wasn’t a really hard hitter, but his gosh darn BJJ was out of this world. I was like holy shit, I could be in some trouble here. So the whole fight was on the feet.
Kenny Florian:
I remember grabbing him and thinking, man I love 155. I just had a huge strength advantage, even with a torn shoulder. I said to myself, as long as i don't make any stupid mistakes, this is going to be a good night.
BJ Penn:
He’s just a different animal. He was good everywhere. Very flexible and he hit real hard and real accurate. His boxing was phenomenal. His balance was crazy; I’d single leg him and lift his leg way up in the air and he’d just be dangling there punching me in the face. After that fight the first thing I did was hire a boxing coach.
Frankie Edgar:
I’ve never been more pissed off during a fight than against Frankie. He ran the entire fight. When I lost I just thought to myself, ‘man, that wasn’t even a fight.’
HELWIG -If the book has a chapter on nandrolone.

Great read.
