I don’t think Herring is any sloutch, but I don’t think he’s got what it takes to handle a monster like Lesnar. Unless he can take it deep (who know’s what Lesnar’s cardio is like?), I don’t think he has much of a chance.

Maybe too early to talk about Lidell/Evans, but I think Chuck will own Rashad. Rashad is over rated.

From all apperances, Lesnar has the athletisism, skills, work ethic and attitude to excel at MMA. I have to say that I like his relative humility as well. I never watch pro wrestling, but he’s definately not what I would have expected.

Solid submission defense may be a good idea for Brock but I think Lesnars sheer skill and size will intimidate people into not wanting to take him to the mat. If he wants to win he’ll want to learn stand up. This is one thing that I think Lesnar might be a little worried about, with his massive size his reach might be a little limited so to learn proper striking would probably suit him best instead of trying to be a brawler on the feet. All I can say for Herring and any other HW facing Brock is learn the Sprawl and Whizzer techniques because your going to want them in your arsenal against a wrestler with the explosive-ness of Brock.

B.W. I agree here, its like this is what Herring will be saying after the fight.

“I’ve faced one guy who was bigger than Brock. Then I faced another guy who was as strong as him. Then I faced another guy who was as fast and explosive as him. And I faced a wrestler that was better than him. Turns out when you put that stuff into one guy its something I’ve never faced before…”

I have seen a lot of Herring’s fights and I have never been impressed with him. I have always thought he has trouble when being pressured. He backs up way too much and that makes it really hard to land a finishing punch. He really needs to become a better finisher. His best areas are that he has a really good scramble on the ground and a good high left kick.

When Brock takes it to the ground, I personally feel that Herring is going to be in a world of hurt. I see no way that he will be able to handle Brock at that point. His chin hasn’t been tested, but I have a feeling that it isn’t soft. He has no neck. That has to help some. haha.

Anyways, I totally disagree with you on that. We will just have to wait and see.

Now, I am totally baffled that you actually think that Evans will beat Chucky with a decision after a boring fight. I cant even think of one fight of Chucky’s that was boring. I personally don’t like Evans at all. I have always thought he was a mediocre fighter. He doesnt really have any dominating skills. His standup is ok, ground is lazy, and his submissions are, well, just whatever.

Chucky by KTFO. Wont be surprised if it is the first round.

No problem Cogito, and if you need sites that provide video’s of mma fights, I have found myvideofight.com and mmasraps.com to be the best!

Yep I got the response back thanks, I didn’t realize that posting the sites was moderating you so that my fault for not simply asking instead of implying. Won’t happen again. Like I told Kevin in another tread I like all the blogs and the news and such, it was just bothering me I couldn’t check a lot of this stuff for myself. Thanks for the sites as well I didn’t know of a couple of them
