B.J. Penn proves he’s the better boxer, striker in UFC 84
By the time he was done with him, B.J. Penn left Sean Sherk’s face completely covered in blood. Ah well, what counts is that Sherk attempted to make a comeback following his suspension for steroid abuse. Turns out that getting cleaned up before this title bout proved ineffective as Sherk (the better wrestler) failed to reclaim the UFC Lightweight Belt from Penn (the better striker and boxer).
“I finished with the lead punch, and I was thinking, it’s got to be finished. I know the time is done in the round but I don’t want to keep beating him like that,” Penn said. “Sean Sherk is a great competitor.”
