I'm wondering if anyone out there is actually drawn to an event because Sherk is on the card? If so, why? (I'll try to keep my biases to myself while posing the question)

Also thought Evan Dunham should have got the nod earlier this year, but Sherk is a great fighter, underrated by many, but only when he fights smart. Looking over his record, he only loses to the best of the best.

I like watching Sherk fight but I'm not sure what the right fight to put him in next is. Maybe Ben Henderson as a measuring stick to see where each guy stands.

I respect him as an athlete, but there isn't a fighter I'd rather watch less. I'd rather watch Butterbean or some random Brazillian I've never heard of than Sherk while he just lies on top of a guy for fifteen minutes. Wrestling is a great foundation but it has very little to do with a complete MMA game. It's like saying your a home builder when all you can do is pour concrete...

And he's been in some good fights. Against GSP (getting owned), against Florian (doing the owning), against Penn (getting owned), against Dunham (mostly even).... lots o' good fights he has been in.

He hasn't won by anything other than decision in five years.

If some of that stuff is tainted or contains a banned substance, I agree fighters must be held responsible for what they put in their bodies. Sherk was correctly held responsible.
But then the question is do I turn on him as a fighter and hate the guy? When maybe all that happened is he took what he thought was protein and it was tainted? Personally I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Especially with how poorly run and disorganized some of these athletic commissions are.
