Herring via Toe Hold - Ankle Lock - Knee Bar... while drinking a Budweiser and tending to his BBQ.

Texas Jiu Jitsu baby!

I will go with Herring. I do think Lesner has a very good chance to become a hugh star in MMA but his time is not here yet.

This doesn't surprise me whatsoever. I don't think that Lesnar should be a gigantic favourite, but he's an outstanding wrestler, who has the ability to take Herring down at will. Anybody remember Herrings fight against O'brien? He was totally helpless, O'brien had little trouble taking him down whenever he pleased. I agree he shouldnt be a HUGE underdog, but its a bad matchup for Herring IMO.

I think Lesnar has a very good chance of winning this fight if he sticks with his wrestling. But if he wants to stand with Herring it could be lights out, I think he will play it safe and just take Herring down 15 times in the fight and rain down hammer fists.

Why is everyone upset about this? Put a couple hundred on Herring and watch the money pile up when he "upsets" Brock.

Brock will win this fight, and it's my guess it will be very convincing. It's just a gut feeling.

Seriously guys, Lesnar lasted 1:30 with Frank Mir!!! That is 13 seconds more then Hardonk, 40 seconds more then Tim Sylvia, and almost twice as long as Tank Abbott!!!

The dude is for real, his hands wouldn't even fit in UFC gloves! Herring has no chance, Lesnar via F-5

And If we were talking about Nog or Mir or even Jeff Monson or someone with a world class BJJ game it would be totally different, but this is Heath Herring, not known so much for his Technicality. Herring comes to Bang, and that won't be such a good idea with Brock IMO.
It really kills me that you mentioned Mir in the world class BJJ talk, and put the words "or even" before mentioning Monson. Monson was born with better ground game then Mir has now.

Herring came to bang with Kongo too, who ended up being afraid of his standup. Herring has the reach avdantage and Lesnar apperantly can't throw a kick to save his life.
