I rewatched the fight. It was highly competitive in all areas. Dunham threatened Sherk with some nice chokes from the bottom, and Sherk held his own on the feet. I thought R1 was clear cut Sherk and R3 was clear Dunham. But R2 was damn close, Sherk was the stronger one early on with his wrestling and was landing the cleander shots when they started exchanging. But in that last minute Dunham really turned it up and started landing. Coulda gone either way imo. Highly competitive, good fight.

@JustinThoj True. It was a really good fight. I think round 2 was the close round. Sherk had the takedowns, but Dunham had superior striking. I think the fact that Dunham was doing more damage and being more threatening in terms of attacking would give him an edge in that round. Judging in those situations can be tough though because you have to weigh what a takedown is worth compared to a combination of punches etcera and it gets subjective.

He didn't take steroids. He passed like 5 lie detectors & the UFC backed him in the court case. He submitted alternate blood samples which are more accurate than urine. & Sean proved that the California Athletic Commission mishandled his sample. They didn't follow the proper guidelines. Which resulted in him winning the case, getting his suspension cut in half, & returning to an immediate title shot. People who don't know their shit STILL think he took them. BJ really used that.

1st round Sherk

2nd round Super Close

3rd round Dunham

[JustinThoj]

@mmadigest oh definitely. I think if Sherk took him down, and he immediatley got back up, then you have to weigh in on the striking for Dunham. But fortunately for Sherk, he was able tp pass his guard and control him before Dunham could get back on his feet. That, along with hitting Dunham with some clean shots early on in that late exchange. Real tough round to call, you could make an argument for any fighter at any point. Razor thin round.

OMG, Dunham got robbed! He obviously beat Sherk. Hopefully there is a rematch so that Dunham can get his revenge.

@nkyryry lie detectors have been proven to be unreliable, there is a penn and teller bs episode about it, i recommend you check that out.

If he wants to get another title shot, he needs to come back better than ever, and needs to make a statement in the dunhamn fight.

If he loses, i dont know where he goes from there.

Really want to see a better and more improved sherk, i belive he can win.
