Sherk or Mendes: Who's More Muscular?

[Topsy Kretts]

Who do you think is more Muscular? Your answer would also likely name the most muscular lightweight/featherweight fighter too.


I'd add a poll but I don't think I have the privileges. If an admin would like to do that for me that'd be cool.
Options:
1: Sherk
2: Mendes
3: Equal



"The Muscle Shark" aka Sean Sherk, 36–4–1, former UFC Lightweight title holder. Officially retired now. Obviously known as a massively muscular guy, especially for how short he is (5"6). He got popped for steroids a long time ago, but he definitely wasn't or isn't the only one using them.

Chad "Money" Mendes, 16–1, UFC Featherweight title challenger and current fighter. He's the same height as Sherk, at 5"6. Both guys possibly could have competed against each other if the FW division was around when Sherk was still fighting.

After a quick search around Google:

Sean Sherk (LW: 155) cuts from 175lbs, and when he fought at WW he cut from 185.
Chad Mendes (FW: 145) cuts from 155-160 pounds, and can get up to about 165.

Gleison Tibau is a pretty shredded himself. Same with Dennis Siver.

As to your original question I guess I'll go with Mendes. He seems a bit muscular.

Mendes

Sherk cut from a much higher weight than Mendes and made a heavier target weight at 155lbs. This would stand to reason that Sherk was/is easily the more muscular of the two. Mendes is ripped but Sherk was always known for having an obscenely low BFP in comparison to his opponents.

Mendes has said he could easily make 135.

Sherk hasn't made 135 since high school.

It's clearly Sherk.

Not sure, I suppose it's just one area of "extreme". Like if we make a topic about the UFC fighters with the most body fat (Roy Nelson would certainly be on it). Or the leanest/lanky fighters, like Nate Diaz. Super muscular guys (or gals) are rare in the real world, not so much in fighting but very few people look like Sherk or Mendes. We're drawn to things that are different & kind of freakish I guess. Same reason we're interested in the tallest people on earth and the shortest.


Not to discredit the chance that many sherdoggers* might be into guys. But I think the majority here just enjoy a freak show (not used in an offensive way, in other words: not a commonly occurring event). Most UFC fighters aren't muscles packed on muscles, so when we spot one it's like an interesting event to bet on, "he's either going to destroy guys, or get gassed after round 1 and be destroyed".

[Freddy Mercury]

Depends, do you mean from the waist up or waist down?
