BellatorFC-Thread

[Nefercheperur]

Der naechste Veteran der schon retired ist, meldet sich nun zu Wort, und zwar der 42 jaehrige Sean Sherk. Sherk (36-4-1) ist seit 2010 zurueck getreten, jedoch sagte er nun dass er bei Bellator zurueck kehren wuerde, fuer einen Legends Fight, etwa gegen Royce Gracie.

“It sounds like a lot of people would be interested in seeing that, and it’s something I’ve been thinking about for quite a while. It’s always weighed heavily on my mind. Being a working-class guy, it doesn’t fit me well. I want to compete; I want to fight, but if I do, it’s going to have be against someone like Royce. It’s going to have to be a pioneer or a legend or somebody with accomplishments like myself. Some kind of a superfight.

I would probably need a good four months or so, a good solid training camp to get myself to where I need to be. I’m not in bad shape. i still work out on a regular basis, just not the same as I was when I was competing. Do I want to make another title run? No, I don’t want to. I want to come back for some kind of a super fight. Where it goes from there, I don’t know. That’s kind of my thought process.

I don’t really have any interest in fighting in the UFC. I think there’s a lot more opportunity outside of the UFC organization at this point in time. I think that they have such a strong hold on the industry and such a strong hold on the fighters. I don’t want have to be told who I’m going to be sponsored by and make little to no money. I’d rather fight for somebody else and have the freedom to earn sponsorships and everything else that comes my way.

I don’t follow the sport a whole lot. I’m pretty busy doing my other stuff. I know friends of mine and former training partners that fight for Bellator. I know a lot of the UFC guys are switching over to Bellator. I’ve heard from several different sources that they treat the guys pretty good. I thought that would be a good place for me to start.”
