Sean Sherk: dead

Well, not really, but BJ is still champ. There's something indubitably cool about the way BJ pounds out all his sworn enemies, licks the blood off his gloves, then invites them to train with him in Hawai'i. I don't know exactly when the turning point was, but he's become this stoic, indomitable fighting machine. Huerta and Florian have both been looking really good, but good enough to take the title off of Penn? I really don't know about that. Penn is probably a win away from reaching that Anderson Silva/Georges St. Pierre level of dominance within his division at this point. On the other hand, if Penn successfully defends his title again and jumps back to welterweight to challenge GSP...wow. I'd put down some serious money to see that fight again.
