Sean Sherk has a vested interest in UFC 91

November
13

I recently had the opportunity to speak with “The Muscle Shark” Sean Sherk, who is coming off of an impressive and dominating victory over Tyson Griffin at UFC 90. Sherk has stated that he wants the winner of the Stevenson/Florian match up that takes place at UFC 91. Sherk also believes that the winner of that proposed match up is the number one contender in the UFC lightweight division and should probably be next in line for a title shot.

Sherk brings up some pretty valid points in our discussion:

Q: You mentioned that you want the winner of the Stevenson and Florian fight. Provided the UFC gave you that match up and you won, would you expect a title shot?
A: I would think so. I mean that is the reason why I want that fight because I think the winner of that fight (Stevenson/Florian) and myself would be the top two contenders. You throw the top two contenders at each other and you have the top dog. I would expect to get a title shot , but with BJ being gone from the division for so long, who really knows what is going to happen.

Sean gave me his opinion on naming an interim lightweight champion, his desire to fight Joe Stevenson over Kenny Florian, his thoughts on Lesnar and Couture, and a lot more.
