Sherk tried a takedown in the first and couldn't get it then he must have lost his head or something. but who could beat Penn at 155 if sherk cant' even land a takedown? Machida looked smooth and landed a double kick good to see TKD in the octagon.

If he made Penn avoid the takedown he wouuld have tired faster. I do think that was his plan going in. I think Bj Penn would out box Gomi all day I don't think Gomi would have a clear advantage in any area.
As much as I detest BJ Penn, and I really really can't stand him there is nobody at 155 anywhere in the world who will trouble him when he's on form.
I'd love to see Mac Danzig or Nate Diaz choke him out but let's be real it wouldn't happen.
Penn has simply dominated Sherk and Stevenson in his last two fights and is likely to be dominant at this weight.
I hope I'm wrong though.
I think he beats Florian or Huerta, I would love to see him face someone like Clay Guida or Tyson Griffin. I'm very partial to Tyson but I think anyone is going to have a big problem with Tyson's strength and Guida's pace could give him some problems maybe. Technically he is superior to everyone though or at least it seems. Don't think GSP is the right fight for him though and 155 is definitely deep enough where he doesn't have to venture up in order to be challenged.
