I just glanced at the headline of the article and I thought it said "Sean Sherks eyes fall out" haha
Sherk is the most underrated LW the dudes only losses are to current/former champs hes beaten some of the best guys and still people count him out. I still consider sherk a top 10 LW despite him being out of action for so long
I think he's underrated in the sense that a lot of fans don't know how legendary this guy is. However I don't think he's still relevant in the division. He's clearly not hungry, he's had a long lay off and he's fighting in the UFC's most stacked division. Moreover yeah alright he 'won' his last fight but scraping through against Evan Dunham on a questionable decision probably doesn't earn him a shot at guys like Miller or Guillar or Bendo. If Guida or Bendo still haven't earned shots yet then SS still has a long way to go before he can rock it with the upper echelon of the division again.
dont get me wrong, i like sherk, but how can you say how legendary the guy is when his losses have been against the champs?and correct me if im wrong but when he held the title he only defended it against hermes franca then he lost the belt after testing positive for juice? and most recently he won a dodgy split over dunham. Tough yes, good record yes, legend no.
sean sherk is the only midget that could potentially rape a man.....but no, seriously i like the guy, give him G sop or sum1 like that, be good to see him fight again, after i seen him fight then i will decide if he can crack the division once again...although i doubt he can LW division is stacked.
