Its a fight so anyone can win, but Lesnar has all the tools necessary to wallop the crazy horse. Herring looked his best against Kongo, and still looked like a B-level fighter. Lesnar will hand him his arse on a plate. Lesnar beats Herring 9 times out of 10. Its a fight so anyone can win, but Lesnar has all the tools necessary to wallop the crazy horse.

There's just really no way you can prepare yourself for a guy like Brock there are very few big men who have his size,strength,speed, and endurance, also brock can take a punch and he's got some heavy hands of his own he could knock crazy horse out standing and then you add in the fact that he's got a 7 time BJJ world champion helping train him and that just makes him even more dangerous.

I like Lesnar and I don't see him losing many more fights in the future as his training progresses. A fast 265 Ibs wrestler in the heavyweight division will make it more exciting. Herring should look to keep his feet moving and try to catch Lesnar with a knee during a takedown. I'm not seeing this going Herrings way at all.

If this stays on the feet, Lesnar is going to pound the crap out of him. Still, I'd like to see Lesnar develop a ground game for some GnP rather than rain hammerfists wildly. Good luck to both, it's unfortunate one has to lose as they're both solid competitors to me! Jay K. Herring is no Frank Mir, but I still see him pulling this one out via submission.

In the octagon a wrestler can pin an opponent anywhere against the cage, which isn't the case in a ring. I'd give Herring the advantage in a ring, but not in the cage. Lesnar will take him down and drop bombs. Lesnar by ko or tko first round.

Do you peaople actually have any idea what Lesnar is? He is a giant man with incredieble cardio. His former national heavyweight collegiate wrestling title and all-american awards should speak for his wrestling, cardio, and work ethic. Have you seen this guys work out routine? Check it out on youtube and you will be astonished. There is NO WAY Herring out works Lesnar or has more endurance!! Herring will need to pray that he lands a lucky shot. Lesnar has been working with a 7-time bjj world champ since the Mir fight, which means even if he does end up on his back for some miracle he will be able to defend himself if he needs to and stand right back up. I expect him to come in and take Herring down AT WILL. I don't care how good of shape Herring is in, Lesnar will have 30+lbs on him by the time off the fight and Lesnar will still be faster than Herring. Brock by ground 'n pound stoppage in the first!! 5 minutes is way to long for Herring to avoid the takedown, even if he knows it's coming. Wow! Do you peaople actually have any idea what Lesnar is?

Herring will tool Lesnar on the feet whilst Lesnar will incessantly look for a takedown. Exciting scrambles and sloppy, slugging stand up. If it gets to the third Herring will have the gas on Lesnar; he will still be feeling those octagon jitters. But I think Lesnar could possibly finish in the 2nd or at the end of the 1st, obviously by good old brutal animal strength ground and pound. Hard to call. I reckon Herring 3rd round TKO in a war that will gain both guys respect from Dana and the fans.
