Interview with Sam Stout
By Stephan | July 11, 2006
A short and interesting interview, post defeat for Sam. He has the right attitude and is learning from his defeat, hopefully he will progress from there.
Meanwhile it has been reported that Kenny Florian turned down a title fight against Sherk at UFC 62 (August 26). It used to be nobody would turn down the chance of going after a title shot. Is KenFlo being smart by picking his fights? Nate Quarry did not hesitate for a shot at Franklin. The problem is Dana may not be too impressed at a fighter that turns down a title fight, I know you can hear him too saying “Dont you want to be a f*** fighter?!”. Will he get a chance again? Who knows…only time will tell.
Now the question is who will fight Sherk? Would BJ Penn go down to that class again? Or is it been-there-done-that? Perhaps Fisher? Pulver?!

I think Pulver needs to get the first shot because the belt truly is still his. I doubt the UFC will give him a title shot without having a first fight back in the UFC though. They need to “introduce” him to this new wave of UFC fans that have no idea who Pulver really is.
Interesting article. The options for the UFC seem extremely limited. If Sherk is the number one man with, what 1 LW fight under his belt since coming down from 170, then I guess they could pick any opponent they could find. However, I agree with the Dr., Pulver should get the first shot at it.
