Sherk Recounts Title Fight; Barnett Returns to the States

Thursday's "Beatdown" is jam packed with the "insight and hilarity" that you've come to expect. Joining TJ De Santis and Sherdog.com editor Josh Gross are Sean Sherk (Pictures) and Josh Barnett (Pictures).

Last Saturday night, Sherk defeated Kenny Florian (Pictures) by unanimous decision to capture the UFC 155-pound belt, becoming only the second fighter to own the title. Sherk talks about his triumph and the hardships he faced heading into the championship bout.

Barnett steps into the ring Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas for PRIDE's first attempt at U.S. show. The former UFC heavyweight champion discusses his fight with Polish judo Olympian Pawel Nastula (Pictures) and what it feel like to come back and compete for the first time in America after the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended him for steroids in 2002.
