The Man, The Legend, The Muscle Shark announces retirement from MMA

Quote :

Former UFC lightweight champion Sean "The Muscle Shark" Sherk announced his retirement from mixed martial arts on Monday.

Sherk exits the sport holding a career record of 36-4-1, as well as a UFC mark of 8-4.

Sherk began his career in 1999, fighting largely in regional shows throughout the midwestern United States. His big break came four years later, when Sherk, then undefeated with a record of 19-0-1, lost a unanimous decision to UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes.

Sherk would win 11 more fights before returning to the UFC in 2006. After splitting matches against Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz, Sherk dropped to 155 pounds and outpointed Kenny Florian to claim the newly reintroduced UFC lightweight championship. He defended the belt just once, thoroughly outwrestling Hermes Franca, before failing a post-fight drug test and being stripped of the title.

Sherk subsequently lost to B.J. Penn, and never again entered the title picture.

Nonetheless, Sherk retires at the age of 40 having only lost to men who have worn UFC gold around their waists.

I would be much more sad over this if I hadn't thought he retired already...

I was going to type the exact same thing. He hasn't fought in 3 years.

lol
This reminds me of when Donovan McNabb "announced his retirement" from the NFL a few months ago. He was the last person to figure out that he was retired.

exactly

but im padding up my post count

Agree with all of the above and let the record reflect and reflect boldly that no "out pointing" of Kenny Florian was done whatsoever. Gonzaga did not "out kick" Cro Cop in the same spirit that Sherk did not "out point" Ken-Flo the male tampon. Sherk chainsawed Flo's ass for 25 consecutive minutes and then chugged a gallon of Pedialyte mixed with Alligator blood and then washed it down with a bushel of raw wheat because he's a caveman.

Haha, not only do I agree with this 100%, but I couldn't wait for DEP to come in and comment on that when he saw it...

Well of course you did, imagine the fiber content in a bushel of wheat. Just the thought of it makes the poo flow.
