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

I haven't read the latest issue, but it must be referring to the period before he came back to the UFC when the money still wasn't available in the sport and he went back to his old job for a while. Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg both said the same thing last night during the fight, so I suggest you read the article again.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you honestly believe what you just posted I don't know what to say. Hermes Franca is a BJJ black belt so Sherk not being able to finish him on the ground is not an indicator of his finishing ability, but of Hermes Franca's ability. Sherk has only 11 decisions among his 32 wins so that says enough about his finishing ability right there. MMA.TV is full of promoters and true MMA fans. Go on there and start a thread about Sean Sherk being boring, and no promoters wanting to hire him, and see what kind of response that gets you...
