My opion about this fight is that Lesnar better be ready to scrap, because Herring is not no joke. Sure Lesnar is a strong dude but has he got the mentality to face this type of fighter. I remember watching his last fight, it was ok, I think Lesnar could have won if he would have been just a little smarter when striking his opponent. So all I have to say is good luck

I think that lesnar has big potential in mma. He will be a force in the ufc if he doesn’t make rookie mistakes like he did against mir. I guess we will know what he’s truly made of after the Heath fight. Heath is a great fighter, but Lesnar could possibly be pissed off over losing his first fight to mir and wreck shop. UFC definetly threw him into the fire though. His first fight against former champ mir and his second against the crazy horse! Good luck.

I agree with you tim. All I’m saying is if Lesnar did a lot of bjj training, or even submission defense, I think he would be able to use his strength to ground and pound his victory. And more than likely, since he lost to Mir by submission, he probably worked pretty hard on that. But yeah, either way, it will be exciting.

Actually I am glad Brock lost to Mir. Look at this way, he will be more dedicated more than ever. I think he is going to impress all the doubters.
By all accounts he seems dedicated to MMA and I hope him the best of luck. I am glad he is getting paid “the big bucks”, many of them should be. Don’t miss the bigger point of his move from WWE either, all those fans now watch MMA. I do not know about you but I would much rather have people spending their hard earned money watching a MMA event than a WWE event. You all know what I am saying here.

Oh and Tim, Brock called and you need to get some more press releases out.

say whaty you want to say but he did manhandle Mir and i see the same thing happening to herring although of course the outcome being in favor of lesnar. win lose or draw this will not be a boring fight for lesnar fans and foes, i predict he will win as he has all the skills to win and he has surely devoloped his BJJ skills, dont count it out but what if lesnar wins by submission? wouldnt that be something. i see it more like on the feet until lesnar throws one punch and connects and down goes herring and then the fight ends with lesnar in half guard pounding on herring into submission or KO

I was saying he was cocky because he talked about Mir as if he was no big deal. He is taking Herring much more seriously. Due to his inexperience, I think the same outcome would happen with Mir.

I agree, Lesnar was pretty much controlling the fight, but it all comes down to who makes that first crucial mistake and who can capitalize on it. If no one made mistakes, there would be a lot of draws.

I agree and i dont think he was cocy at all he did everything he said he was going to do except come out the winner, in alot of peoples eyes he didnt lose that fight, he controlled the whole fight except for 15 seconds of it and made a rookie mistake to a BJJ expert. Now herring is not BJJ expert and i dont see lesnar making the same mistake twice. he overpowered Mir and he barely survived. Herring has little to no chance in this one.
