Sean Sherk has fought for years at 170 pounds. Despite being the smaller guy in every fight, he has managed to still become one of the most feared fighters in the world. With the return of the UFC Lightweight Championship, he can now fight in his natural weight class against guys closer to his size.

Coming off the heals of a dominating decision victory over Nick Diaz at UFC 60, Sherk is now the top-ranked fighter in the lightweight division.
