|  heath Herring vs Brandon Vera
I know that this isn't a dream matchup of any sort, but it is now likely to happen at some point since the UFC has Herrings contract and Vera will need to fight someone decent after he loses to Sylvia before he gets another title shot.

herring by GnP, TKO stoppage in the 2nd.
while Vera has skill, hes just a chubby LHW.
herring is a strong-ass 6'4, 250. he will run Vera into a cage and pound him while looking for the guard pass, and once he has side or full mount, its over

He is strong as hell, has great wrestling, great gnp and good standup, Vera would have great diffculty trying to make up for the strength, wrestling and size advantage.

Herring's stand-up is awful, he trained at Golden Glory and you couldn't tell the way he drops his head "everytime" he throws a strike. I think Herring has talent but bad fundamentals. Herring is much bigger then Vera, but Vera's ground game is much better then Herring's. IMO.
