I'm predicting Herring with the win by rear naked choke.

This should be a very fun fight to watch. I like both fighters, but am pulling for Lesnar in this one. I would like to see how far he can go with the proper training.

Crazy horse takes this fight. I see no reason why he should not. He has to much for Lesnar and Brock does not have enough to offer at this point IMO. Herring has been around to long and has the tools to take this fight. Herring in 1st by sub. I have not seen much from brock other than he likes to bull rush. Thats not showing me much of anything. Any well rounded fighter who is versed in BJJ is going to tap him out if he pulls that.

I just don't see Lesnar beating Heath anywhere.

I'd like to see Lesnar put on a good showing even if he loses. Much respect to him for his wanting to fight fight top level fighters (excluding Coleman past his prime). Herring didn't really impress me with Kongo keeping him on the mat in his last fight so I'll say Lesnar via GnP or Herring via High Kick KO or RNC

im not a pro wrestling fan but i agree hes got a shot on pure strength and size alone. heath has the experience so i guess it really depends on brocks training and as ive said before, heaths takedown defense. i dont see him stuffing brock quite honestly, i think brock will put him on his back rather quickly. heres hoping that jui jitsu training paid off.

The longer this fight goes the better it is for Herring IMO. I think if he can weather the initial storm and "adrenaline rush" as Heath put it he'll take it.

I think Lesnar knows that Herring will control the stand up and will look for the take down early and often. I don't see Herring being able to defend it very well and will spend the majority of the fight on his back. I think Brock is big enough and strong enough to stay on top and pound out a somewhat boring decision.
I think Herring is the better overall fighter but he will not be able to employ much offense from his back. Bad match up for Heath, Lesnar takes it.

they really won't give brock even a remotely winnable fight will they. im not saying he should be fed cans to bolster his record but giving him former champs and formittable opponents in herring, it's like they don't want him to be in a fight he SHOULD win,which in my opinion is a good thing. i mean, he was asking for a title shot right away, this way he has to earn it but it certainly won't be an easy path up the ladder with the competition he's facing

This is what I see happening, Brock is gonna come out swinging, Heath is going to try to avoid him, for the first minute or two.... after that, then Heath is going to put the hurt on him... I saw Heath carries it to round 2... then beats him in round 2... atleast i think that is where the gameplan is. It's that initial flurry that makes Lesnar so dangerous.
