Default Heath Herring is an underdog?

I was just checking out the lines for the upcoming events and saw that heath herring is a 3.1-1 underdog against Brock ( that means you bet 100 you win 310 for those who dont know) Does anyone else think this is kinda weird. I mean Herring not amazing but hes a soild fighter whos been in there with some top guys and Brock hasnt beaten anyone so why is he the favorite just cuz of his wrestling?

That line is going to change. I am amazed they are putting so much faith in Lesnar's chin, because you know Herring is going to get some shots in.

I am a Lesnar fan, but no way should he be a 3.1 to 1 favorite.

Lesnar is a monster, if he has been training hard since that embarrassing tapout he should be a lot better. I know Mir has good BJJ but I was surprised to see him sub Lesnar so easily. I still don't understand why Lesnar would be favored against a pride/ufc veteran... I know he has great wrestling and strength, but no experience.

Lesnar must beware of Texas Jiu Jitsu!!!

I would assume this is because a surprising amount of people do think that Lesnar will win. I am in that same boat, because even if it goes to the ground, Lesnar will power his way out. I see Lesnar overwhelming Herring just like the start of the Mir fight.....

Brock should be that big of a favorite IMO.

He is a fucking Monster and I honestly don't see him losing to many people.

I think we see some brutal GNP from Brock that puts Herring away. I am just so excited for the fight to see Herring Gong and Dash strait into a takedown.


What is really funny is that Herring was Favored over Fedor when they fought in Pride.

I'd take those odds and bet money on Herring. We know he's tough as nails and don't know anything about Brock's ability to take a punch.
