Ask Kenny Florian, Hermes Franca, and Nick Diaz if Sherk doesn't keep busy from the top. I saw him throwing elbows and punches all night...

really? i read in the latest issue of grappling magazine, an interview with shek that said he went back to laying carpet because he couldnt get any fights - not that he could but couldnt make a living
plain & simple, promoters didnt wanna pay this guy big $$ because he's boring
yea he keeps busy, like i said earlier, he does just enough "activity" from the top so the ref wont stand it up - but he doesnt actually try to split anyones face open with an elbow or really try to KO anyone & finish his fights...hes content to lay on a guy & outmuscle him and hold him down until the time expires
he had hermes MOUNTED, SIDE MOUNTED, and TOOK HIS BACK all several times in last nights fight - and he couldnt finish him???
like i said, the guy is fucking boring and that seems to be the general consensus
