I believe that it is going to be Kenny and these guys had it listed to be before but now its listed as TBA so who knows.
Your right tho Stevenson looked very impressive!!! Looks like they added the Griffin Vs Bonnar 2.
So only confirmed is Liddell Vs Sobral and Griffin Vs Bonnar 2... =)
-Chuck Liddell vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title
-Sean Sherk vs. TBA for the vacant UFC Lightweight Title=
-Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar
-David Terrell vs. Yushin Okami
This will be an interesting overdue fight between these two TUF1 veterans. Unfortunately, both of them are coming off a loss - Grffin to Ortiz and Bonnar to Evans.

Wow that would be a good matchup Jens Pulver used to be Champ and Sean Sherk will be a factor @ 155 lbs... =)
I have not yet heard this but sounds good

He somehow injured his back during fight preparation a few days before he was set to fight Sam Stout At UFC 58 USA Vs Canada
So he ended up fighting Stout at UFF 3 instead
It must be a re-occuring injury from that id think, ill look into this.. =)
Hey guys. I found this on the net. Its a blog that Kenny actually posted on his Myspace page.
Regarding Sean Sherk/Lightweight Title fight . . .
I am taking time off to rest from a nagging back injury that has bothered me since I injured it in March. I want to make sure that is 100% before I even resume training again. I have been training hard since January and my body needs a few weeks to rest and recover.
I just want to make it very clear that I NEVER backed out of a fight with Sean Sherk. I agreed to fight Sean Sherk in what was supposed to be October or November. (every 3-4 months is typical for a UFC fighter). Sean Sherk has not fought since UFC 59 which was on April 15th, 3 months ago. That would make it over a 5 month span between fights for him. That is quite a nice rest for Sherk. I just fought two weeks ago against a completely different type of opponent.
I hear a lot of criticism coming way because people think I dropped out of the fight or think that I think I am not ready. I know I will fight Sherk eventually and I know I will beat him. My skills are where they need to be now to fight him and beat him. Asking for another month to recover and rest is not out of line.
However . . . not sure many people have trained for any type of professional event before. Not many people have ever trained for any type of a fight before let alone a championship professional UFC fight before. It takes preparation, timing, strategy and workouts preparing you to peak for the fight. If you are a professional fighter and not just some guy who hops off a bartstool to fight anyone at anytime, you take time and plan your workouts and strategies. With everything I have going on, it would give me less than a month to prepare for Sherk. I would not do this against Joe Karate guy let alone Sean Sherk. Sherk gets 5 months between fights and I barely get 1 month to really properly train. That is an advantage that you will not see any smart fighter give to anyone. You never see high level pro boxers take fights on short notice. They rarely fight more than once a year nowadays.
I want to fight the best and Sean Sherk is considered one of the best. I have never been shy to any challenge. I was competing in older age groups in soccer since I could walk and so I could be a better player. I was competing against BJJ black belts after a year and half of training in BJJ. I fought a much larger Drew Fickett who had a record of 25-2 after only 3 MMA fights. I competed on the Ultimate Fighter Season 1 at 185 pounds (two weight classes above my own weight) with only 4 MMA fights under my belt.
I have never been one to be afraid of anyone or any challenge. I do this to be a better fighter and person. I stand by my word that I do want to fight the best at 155 lbs. But as a professional fighter, I must listen to my management and make sure that I am healthy before anything else. I am excited to be able to fight the great fighters in the best MMA organization in the World (The UFC) in the lightweight class like Pulver, Sherk, Edwards, Homonick, Stevenson etc . . . and I will continue to work, train, fight and act like a professional fighter.

The reason seem legimate but when a fighter is given a chance at a title shot you take it, no matter what the odds are. Not sure when he will get another chance like this if he passes it up.

Very Nice Article!!! I agree with Kenflo that he should rest his back up and be 100% and he also had a good point that Sherk hasnt fought since april and he just fought 2 weeks ago. Kenflo will get his shot in the future... =)
