    I know there are a lot of guys that are on the Brock Lesner bandwagon. I think he will be a great fighter one day by not yet. Especially versus an experienced fighter like Herring.

    We still do not know if Lesner can go past the first round.

    If Herring can avoid the takedowns and keep this striking he will win. Plus Herring has underestimated grappling

    So for me i am picking Herring to win this fight

    Good write up.
    I see your point and think this is a tough fight to call.

    The thing is Herring looked pathetic in his UFC debut against a solid wrestler in Jake O'Brien who lay and prayed his way to a win over the texas crazy horse.

    I think many ppl are thinking Lesnar is a much better wrestler than O'Brien and way more stronger and thus can win this fight because Herring has bad take down defense.

    I can see this fight going either way, because Lesnar is such a freak athlete and actually looked impressive vs Mir until his mistake.

    I also think this fight can go either way

    I am picking on this fight which is based on the online betting odds

    Herring is a huge underdog at +205 which means if you bet 100 on Herring you get $205 but you have to bet $255 on Lesner you get just to get 100

    This fight is a toss up but betting wise the pick to make on a betting angle

    Plus he does have a shot and if yo ucan make money on a fight why not go for Herring

    The betting lines are only the way they are becasue Lesner is a big name not because hei s better

    Good analogy there BJJ Team.

    Also Lesnar needs to lose a match IMO to get better and get more experienced. I think this match will be that loss. (I could be wrong though lol)

    I think if Herring can't land a submission on him (just standup or wrestling), I think Lesnar will take him down and land blows on him.

    If Lesnar can learn how to avoid submissions. Because it is hard to defend against his takedowns.

    I have no clue where the shirt came from. I'm not the guy in the picture, a member named Heuvon found it and I thought it was a good avatar pic.

    Brock Lesnar is just gonna bully his way to a victory in this match. Brock was on his way to dominating Frank Mir until he got caught. I don't Herring is gonna catch Lesnar in any sort of heel hook or knee bar.
