Everyone’s favorite bald journalist has an interesting article up today at Yahoo Sports. According to Kevin Iole, Dana White has announced that the UFC will not be stripping Sean Sherk of his lightweight title belt, regardless of the final outcome of Sherk’s appeal before the California State Athletic Commission.
Sean Sherk is going to remain the UFC’s lightweight champion, but B.J. Penn and Joe Stevenson will fight for a lightweight belt at UFC 80 in January in Newcastle, England, UFC president Dana White said Friday.
White said he’s not going to strip Sherk of his lightweight championship because he is fed up with the California Athletic Commission’s handling of Sherk’s steroids case.
White had vowed to strip Sherk of the title, but said Friday that he no longer plans to do so.
“The way this whole thing has been handled has been a mess,” White said.
He said Penn and Stevenson, who said he learned on Tuesday that he and his wife will have another son, will fight for the interim title as the main event of UFC 80 in Newcastle, England, likely on Jan. 19.
The winner of that bout would then presumably face Sherk once Sherk’s status is defined by the commission.
Zach Arnold over at FightOpinion.com raises some good discussion about Dana White and the UFC opposing the CSAC’s ruling on this matter.
To me the bigger question is what is the point of having multiple title-holders in the same division? If Sherk is going to retain his title, there is no “interim” title even available for BJ Penn and Joe Stevenson to fight for at UFC 80 in January. In addition, the CSAC didn’t exonerate Sherk yet; his appeal was simply postponed again until November 13. What happens in two weeks when Sherk could possible have his appeal denied. The UFC is then going to let Sherk, a “convicted” steroid user, retain his title while still holding a so-called “interim” title fight at UFC 80?
Does any of that even make sense at all? I’m not sure I’ve heard of a more illogical statement come from Dana White in quite a long time. Now, I don’t completely believe that the UFC won’t strip Sherk’s title. This is just Iole’s word on the matter, something I hold in very low regard. I won’t be surprised in the least when the UFC decideds to strip Sherk’s belt on November 14.

LOL cooks have it the best man.. theyre treated like royalty. I was considered a foreigner because i was living in Canada when i was of age to join the army. So i had to go back and do a year, though i wasnt allowed to get any kind of rank cuz i was like an outsider. If i lived in Cyprus at the time, i could go as far as i wanted in the army, but its a mandatory 2 YEARS! lol fck that **** man.. Kids go in the army at 18 until 20.. maybe the best 2 years of your life man!
