Catching up with UFC vet Sean Sherk.

Bas's wasn't a mask though. Same concept, except it was more like a mouthpiece, sorta like how you breath through a scuba tank. Sherk's were actual masks. Phone Post 3.0

Good guy, great career...

Still does not justify a faux hawk....

Yes I would tell him that to his face because obviously no one else would, he deserves the truth for all he has done. Phone Post 3.0

That's true. I wonder if he ever got sued for a patent violation or owned a patent for it?

still not giving up on the fauxhawk

Good for him on finding success after his mma career, I wish him the best of luck.

When your name is Sean Sherk you can wear your hair any damn way you please.

I know hes retired but i believe he still has one fight left on his contract, with BJ Penn making a comeback, is it too late for the Muscle Shark?

I wonder if this was even asked to him in the interview... Phone Post 3.0

Also, he invented the training mask? 



 



“We had that thing ready to go for the Dunham fight,” Sherk told me. “YouTube videos of me training with the mask on, working social media, seminars and expos. I was talking about it during interviews. We really pushed it and it was very successful.”



He sold that business a couple years ago and started this house flipping business, something he wants to turn into real estate holdings at some point in the future.



“I made more money outside of the UFC than in it, and that’s just how the game works,” Sherk said. “You gotta hustle or you’ll end up broke and forgotten.”


I think there have been various companies that sold training masks. I know bas rutten was selling them as some point.


Bas just had the weird mouthpiece





 



I was under the impression the training mask was the only mask.

Not sure who would sue him? He was part of the company

I think he was saying the Bas should/could have been sued.

At least one more if Kenny Flo is around... Phone Post 3.0

Florian on the legends:

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:
He was so dreamy. A real gentleman and a ladies man at heart. The greatest champ I have ever known. On the feet, ground or against the cage he is a true master and warrior. He had a 'Just Do it!' attitude. Always used to say to me "Right kick hospital, left kick cemetery."

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.’ Phone Post 3.0

Oh, I was just thinking I had seen several different mask companies back in the day, but I could totally be wrong about that. I forgot that Bas was selling some mouthpiece thing instead of a mask.

LOL, couldn't you just breath through your nose with the mouthpiece one?

Not that those things actually do anything anyway, but its funny to see him with it.

MMA has sure popularized a lot of goofy training methods over the years.

Sub good read. Phone Post 3.0
