Sherk hasn't fought in almost a year and a half. He keeps getting injured and dropping out of fights. He's getting older. His door to a title shot is closing. He won't get there again. BJ Penn was his last shot.

Paxton was the weak Earp brother.

sherk will never be champ or even get a shot again. he is unfourtunetly one of those amazing wrestlers that thinks his standup is world class just like his wrestling

Sherk is a great guy and a fantastic fighter. I really wish he would use all of his tools more -especially his wrestling. I think that he could have beat Edgar if he took him down and tried to GnP or work for a submission. I like the fact that he talked about having alternative gameplans. IMHO, this is one area where Sherk can really improve. Against BJ and Edgar, he seemed to get stuck once "plan A" didn't work. The Dunham fight will probably be Sherk's biggest test. I think that takedowns will play the biggest role in this fight. If Sherk gets the takedown, he can easily win via GnP and ground control. However, Dunham has an excellent wrestling pedigree, and the fight could also easily consist of Dunham takedowns followed by Sherk escapes, followed by more Dunham takedowns, etc...I think that the steriod accusations were inconclusive at best, but haters are gonna hate and call him a cheater... I found his comments about the Edgar / Penn fight to be very interesting: "If Penn is going to win, it is going to be a boring fight." fos

If Sherk loses to Dunham, he should try his luck in WEC.

No offense but Sherk will never even come close to top 5 ever again.I mean, for as long as he's been in the game he still isnt really any good at anything but wrestling. He had the belt back when the LW division was void of talent but its a staked bracket now!He should be 145 anyway

By the time the athletic commission changed its ruling Sherk had already passed half of the orginal suspension so they just reduced it to the time he had already passed, they could not lift it retrospectivly because that time had already passed.Obviously the commission did believe the lie detector test, as well as the scientific evidence that Sherk, and his lawyers produced
