Take a look at Sherk before all this started and take a look at more recent photos. Dude was juicing. I'm not the biggest Penn fan but at least he is clean. Even if Sherk wins, he will always be known as a Roid user and a cheater. Was Sherk on Steroids? = Yes

Watching Sherk bleed is the most exciting part of his matches…

Any attempt to ground and pound puts Sherk at risk for a submission, especially with Penn's longer build. It's Penn's fight to lose, imo. Penn is a tough match up for anybody, but especially Sherk.

I prefer to see someone get a takedown, pass guard and attempt a submission than shitty one-dimensional rock'em sock'em brawlers like Alexander, Leben, Irvin and Sakara. But I don't like Sherk. I'm sick of his little arm punches in guard. I'm sick of him passing guard and then achieving absolutely nothing with it. I'm sick of him fighting to not lose, rather than to win. Anyone remember the interview he did during the PPV for PRIDE Bushido 2? I believe he said something about hoping that he puts up an exciting fight for the fans. After that snoozer of a fight, PRIDE rightfully declined to bring him back. And regardless of anyone's opinion of PRIDE (or former PRIDE fighters), DSE for sure knew how to put on exciting shows. And Sherk booted himself right out of their plans. I love the grappling/BJJ aspect of MMA, but Sherk just doesn’t cut it for me.

Hee hee, that tickled me. I remember watching his fight with Franca with a bunch of guys who hadn't really seen any MMA before. They were starting to get restless around the middle of round two and I was trying desperately to explain that Sherk is maintaining excellent control and had a solid gameplan. Three rounds later, I just gave up. "Sorry, guys, Sherk is pretty boring." “While Sherk keeps up a high pace in the cage, I’m not sure I’d call it “action”.”

An independent commission found him guilty of using steriods. Thus he was stripped of the title by the UFC. Whether or not it was intentional doping or not (i.e. tainted supplements), it does not matter. An Athlete is responsible for what goes into his body - this would be the same standard olympic athletes are hold to. I hope the Las Vegas Commission is true to its word when it stated that they will performed random testing at all times. This would eliminate someone from juicing up on a cycle and then be clean during the fight. If Sean wants to shut everyone up - win the fight and test clean.

I also admire how BJ can talk so much shit and not even seem to notice..."It's nothing personal, he's a cheater" hahahah I loved the exchange I randomly saw on the Sherdog forums:

I do hope BJ messes Sherk up though, I would really really enjoy that. This fight will depend on: Is Sherk a viable fighter without the juice, and which BJ Penn Shows up.

I am not sure what to think about his case because while it's obvious steroids are a massive problem in sports everytime I read something about the way the CSAC handles drugs I am not sure they can do it properly.

The Florian fight was good and in the Franca fight, whether or not he was juiced up, he still passed Franca's guard like it was nothing. He did that the whole fight, just the boo-happy UFC 73 crowd were against any type of ground behaviour. I don’t really have a problem with Sherk’s style.
