I thought Sherk one a close decision just like what was. I thought Tyson should have been much more active in that last round. But I guess the same can be said for Sherk. As far as the stand up, i thought it was fairly close. Tyson didn't blow anyone away. The takedowns probably were the deciding factor.
I am a huge Griffin fan. I honestly thought he was second only to Penn in the division. That being said, Sherk clearly but closely won the fight. Tyson was off his game and not nearly as sharp or quick as usual. Great come back for Sherk. I am impressed that he actually begged Joe Silva to give him Griffin. That's a ballsy move after getting spanked by Penn.
Yep, I thought it was pretty easy to score for Sherk. It was a good close fight but I had Sherk winning 2-1.
I am srprised by how good Kenny Florian has become. I thought he would never ammount to much after TUF, but he is a legit LW contender.
I'm surprised. I mean don't get me wrong, it was a good competitive fight, but Griffin just got the better of the standup. He was quite simply blocking most of Sherk's shots, and hitting sherk flush in return. Sherk got a couple of takedowns, but it's not like he did anything with them, or inflicted much damage. I fucking hate sherk, but that was a pretty good fight actually.
Sherk's win over Griffin sure does put Penn's win over Sherk in perspective. Tyson Griffin is no joke, and Sherk is certainly a top LW. BJ easily picked Sherk apart. It's really amazing how much beter BJ is than anyone at 155 in the UFC.
