Popular MMA insider/journalist Cindy Ortiz made a claim on the underground forum late last night that completely refutes the claims made yesterday by Steve Sievert of Brawl Sports regarding Sean Sherk's title status. Check out her post below:

I just asked [Dana White]. He said the UFC did strip Sean of the title. He didn't feel the need to make an announcement about it.

The source of the "news" that he wasn't stripped is B.S.

Cindy Ortiz also went on to say that MMAWeekly.com will be posting a story soon to further clarify the situation.

Dave Meltzer has also confirmed that the UFC has stripped Sean Sherk of his lightweight title, I'd call this a done deal.
