BJ will lose on points. BJ's BJJ is not that much better than Francas...better but not worlds appart, and Franca had nothing on Sherk on the ground other than the guilliotine attempt.
And please stop making excuses for BJ Penn...he could not be the "best ever" if he chose to train. He is a professional fighter and has been so for a decade. He is not the complete package and thats why he keeps losing fights
Are you high? BJ Penn is a MUNDIAL World champion. He WAS NEVER SCORED UPON when he won the Mundials. He has never had his guard passed in competition, whether it be BJJ, sub grappling, or MMA. His jits is MUCH better than Hermes. The only one comparable to his jits (prolly better because he focuses on it) is Marcelo Garcia. He is the complete package, his motivation is what has killed him.
Bluto, you claim to be such an MMA expert, want to be a moderator, did you did into the stats and actually watch any of those fights and loses. BJ is 11-4-1. His losses are to Matt Hughes (whom he was beating handily), GSP, Lyoto Machida (at 205 and this dude killed Ace Franklin, and I think has a chance to upset Shogun), Pulver (which he avenged).
Lets see who he beat. Matt Hughes (who beat Sherk by UD), he destroyed him on his feet, was killing him in the GNP and RNCed him for the win. Matt Serra (UFC welterweight Champ), Caol Uno (destroyed in the first fight), Din Thomas (KTFO right after Din KOed Jens), Takanori Gomi (he punked him on his feet, and when he wanted to took him down and RNCed him) who at the time was considered the best P4P fighter, Bang Ludwig (made him look silly) right after Bang KOed Jens, Rodrigo Gracie (put on a clinic on an ADCC winner and successful Bushido fighter), he passed Rodrigos guard at will, got dominant position, Renzo Gracie, made Renzo's jits look normal, and Jens the former 155 champ.
Like him or not, BJ's talent is evident. When he wants to (Hughes1, Gomi, Ludwig, Thomas, Uno1) he is the best P4P fighter in the world. When his training isn't the greatest, (Pulver1, Uno2, Serra, Machida, GSP) he is a talented fighter who can still finish the fight. I know there is a lot of BJ hate here, but call a spade a spade. Randy, and Matt both say his wrestling is out of this world. When you see him toy with Charuto, you know his jits is sick. Most people don't think his striking is that great, but he has HEAVY hands, and a helluva chin. His wrestling is severely underated.
IF BJ is motivated, he rolls over Sherk like he did Hughes. If he isn't, he is in for a long night, and another UD loss.
