Hey there MMA fans!
Well, BJ (The PRODIGY) Penn Beat Sean (MUSCLESHARK) Sherk with strikes at the bell ending round 3, but I'm sure that many fans who saw the fight will agree that he (Sherk) should've been allowed to return to his corner for the one minute rest between rounds; then if he couldn't answer the bell to begin round 4 (and only then) should the fight have been stopped.
Personally I believe it was only a matter of time before BJ lowered the boom on him (as he did right before the bell), but that was not a good way for the fight to end at all!
Sean [Muscle Shark] Sherk looked very sharp right up to the point where he got TKO'd. He was quick & tireless working his stand-up, and things looked very close score wise.
BJ Penn managed to open up cuts under both of Sherk's eyes in each of the first 2 rounds. As the final 10 seconds was pounded in the 3rd. BJ attacked with strikes & a flying knee, dispatching Sean & ending the fight a-la Uno.

I need to see this fight. SHerk has not been knocked out b4 - Franca nearly did it,..
ending in the forth or fifth I would tend to agree with you , especially in a title fight but at the end of the third??, sounds like the ref doing his exact job..

Keep in mind, this was scheduled to be a five (5) round match. It's a case for arguing whether he (Sherk) should've been 'saved by the bell' or not. In my own opinion, and those of many others. Anyway, thank you for stopping by, and for voicing your views.

Would the bell have 'saved' him tho, or just made it a more brutal loss.. The UFC mandate is to be responsible with respect to safety- which SHOULD take precedent over fan-choice...

Just saw this fight last night... i LOVE BJ Penn... he's finally taking his MMA seriously and I love it... he's a tough little dude...
As for the TKO... Sherk couldn't even get up to get to his corner so he was done... but then again i'm a bit biased... lol...
Can't wait for the next round of UFC!!

It was'nt close at all? Penn made target practice with Sherks face the entire fight. That knee was the show stopper.
