Re: UFC UFN Thread
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Different card, but I'd much rather bridge jump with Shawn Sherk at -321 ... I can't imagine Florian having a better chance vs Sherk than Shamrock does vs Ortiz. [/ QUOTE ] the more i think about it, the more i consider sherk something of a lock here. [/ QUOTE ] Florian has a lot of fluke ways to win this fight, but I might be siding with you more and more. Sherk has 2 losses which came from Georges St. Pierre and Matt Hughes. Florian lost to Diego in convincing fashion. I'd say Sherk and Diego have similar fighting styles and would go after Florian the same way. (Sherk likely won't eat a few before taking Florian down though.) This is a grooming fight for Sherk to get a shot at the belt again. I'm not sure where he fits in because Diego and GSP are going to get shots soon also. [/ QUOTE ] Florian-Sherk is a title fight for the vacant LW (155) title. GSP and Diego fight at 170.

However, there is no way he looks injured from the fight video as a guy supposedly breaks a rib and never flinches once or grabs his side?

Re: UFC UFN Thread
No one has seen conclusive evidence either way.
The way Penn starts the third round, with his hands at his sides, most people agree that its probably something more than just gassing. Penn couldn't walk back to his corner after the second round, he basically had to crawl. General consensus at this point is that Penn was probably hurt and gassed both, in some combination. maybe not as serious as a separated rib (defintely didn't break a rib, reportedly he separated a rib which isn't the same at all) maybe just a pulled muscle in his side, whatever. These kind of injuries to the rib area are pretty common when dealing with a significantly stronger wrestler trying to keep someone pinned, which is definitely what happened to Penn in the second round as Hughes was trying to hold him down when Penn slipped around and started to take Hughes' back/etc. Who knows if we'll ever know. Hopefully, though, we'll see BJ Penn refocus even more and come back again. He's such a tremendously skilled fighter, if he'd up his conditioning he'd be very very dominant at whatever weight class he wanted to fight at. I'd like to see a rubber match with Hughes very much, but would also like to see Penn dominate at lightweight as well. /hijack

Then, I hope Penn will again make me feel like a genius for such a move by dominating the fight for 2 rounds only to crush my spirit in the third. I actually got really lucky. Someone had a big buy order on Tradesports during the fight. After the second round it was way out of whack and massive value. I was in the process of making a huge sell order when the person pulled the line down. I would have been stung really badly - just like I am doing to be when Shamrock decides to screw me for my betrayal of him so I could make a few dollars after routing for him for over 10 years. It is going to be really painful. Thank God though that Pulver helped condition me for what is coming.
