I don't see how you can say bj would be unable to finish sherk because he's too strong when Matt Hughes is probably equally strong if not stronger, and has an incredibly similar but more developed style of fighting and was submitted by bj. I don't think either of them are out of the other's league, but I doubt Sherk would be able to lay on top of BJ for 5 rounds without getting caught in a submission. The only thing Sherk can really do is wrestle, and BJ has handled better wrestlers than him.
kenny florian is known for subin ppl and he couldnt do it and neither could franca, give or take the fact that yes bj is better than both of them but at 155 sherk is freakin monster, sherk has been use to handling guys at 170 now at 155, his strength is a much bigger factor not that he is not smaller than the other and only lost to GSP & Hughes whom penn has a lose vs both ( sherk broke his nose v gsp and penn separated his ribs v hughes) this is a good match both ways onliy if penn doesnt gas as the gsp match cause sherk will finish him in a 5 rd so penn better be in shape if he cant finish him quick, but this makes for a war cuase sherk wants to prove hes the best as does penn especially in the different style of trainin and philosophy so it should be a war
