    Sherk Vs Florian

    Does anyone here think Florian has a chance? I predict Sherk by death. Input? Predictions?

    I would predict anything man theses first season TUF guys are Tought and they suprise me all the time.

    I think that Mike Swick got a chance to beat Loiseau, and am not counting out Florian.

    Diego Sanchez is another one that could very well be champion in the near future, man did he ever beat up Karo.

    Sherk will dominate and win by ref stoppage or cut, Florian wont sub him nor will he be able to take him down. Sherk has good hands as demonstrated vs nick diaz, sherk will dominate

    I think Sherk will win but it will be by Decision or some kinda of stoppage...I dont see either fighter winning by submission thats for sure.

    Sherk no doubt. He's freekin huge for 169lbs. But he'll never get past St. Pierre. St. Pierre dominated last time they fought.

    I don't think he will ever face St. Pierre again. This fight is taking place in the 155 pound lightweight division.

    sher only walks around at about 169, hughes and st.pierre cut down from about 190. 155 pound class is perfect for him.

    Dude, I'm not sure Sherk walks around at 170. I might be wrong, but he is freakin huge and ripped even at 170.

    I think Sherk has got this one, although it's tough to say what kind of condition he'll be in at 155...

    Sherk said in a interview he normally walks around right around 170 at 175 he feels fat. you have to remember he is only 5'6 I know that has nothing to do with how ripped up he is but he always looks heavier cause he is so condensed

    Yeah, I knew he was a pretty short guy...I think I heard something a couple weeks ago about him taking a trial run cutting to 155 to see how hard it would be. Just doesn't sound like he has a lot of experience at that weight and I hope it doesn't affect him like it did Riggs when he dropped to 170.

    i would bet florian with the odds they're giving. he's better than people give him credit for. not as physically gifted as sherk but he has great skills. and beware the Kelbow!

    Florian's elbows are vicious, and his subs are also good. I think this could be a better fight than people are giving credit for, but I do think Sherk will win.

    Ok no offense but with a name like "MMA" I would expect you to know that Florian would get killed by Sherk. Think about it, Florian is going to be on his back the whole time that fight is on the ground with Sherk pounding away fists and elbows...do you remember Diego vs. Florian, I see that all over again.

    Sherks just going to beat him plain a simple he wants a belt hes proved himslef in the UFC and in PRIDE. I mean he took huges to a dission and i thought that was a great fight. Now he droped to a weight were he can do some damage and i see getting the belt and hanging on to it for some time

    Sherk by TKO!

    Sherk has already practiced cutting to 155lbs in training so his body will respond better before fight time. It is smart to do it that way, Franklin also did that, this info comes from Monte Cox (manager of Sherk and 90% of all UFC fighters. lol).

    Sherk is gonna be a beast at that weight..BJ could come down and take him but other than that i see some dominant wins for Sherk.
