Absolutely! I see we have a businessman joining us on the board.

Sherk is going to plow through Florian... the guy's had 30+ fights and has only lost to GSP and Matt Hughes (who he went 5 rounds with). More than respectable. I really think Florian's outmatched here, but hopefully we'll see a good fight.

you also dont want two of your top guys fighting for a vacant title because there's no where to go from there but down.

Kenflo is fighting for the title ,b/c he's a great guy and is very popular and is an easy win for Sherk.

Because I dont think many of the new fans even know who Pulver is...so they're putting him on the upcoming card, having Kenny and Sean fight on the next card, no title defense on the card after that (65) and then a title defense at UFC 66. Those who know Jens will want to see him fight Sherk. Those who dont know him, will get to see him fight and then will want to see him fight Sherk. Both fighters are very experienced and very skilled and it would make for a good fight. I half think that Dana just sees Kenny as a stepping stone for Sherk as Sherk begins fighting at 155.
