haha your hilarious man, you must not have much of a life spending all you time lurking here and trying to piss people off, it's actually quite sad.

The guy wanted to know what hotel would be to get his best chance at meeting a fighter, and I threw out where I'd assume they'd be. Just helping a bradda out. Would I be trying to figure out what room they are in? No. Would I hang around the lobby hopping to snag a picture or autograph with some of the greatest athletes in the world? Your damn right I would.

Seriously though, get a life dude, I pity you.

It is a fleur de lis, symbolic too Georges French Heritage.

Who said anything about waiting around all day? Obviously I'd pick a logical time, i.e before/after the weigh ins, after the fights, would probably be the best chances at meeting someone. Will I actually do this? No, but I'll definitely stop by the lobby at some point in my weekend to check it out.

Anyways, from here on in I won't be responding to any of your ignorant posts, your a waste of my time, and everyone else's time on here. A suggestion for the future, get out and do something productive with your life, or stop acting like an ass and just talk some good MMA like the rest of us are here to do.

later dude.

Hey guys,

First time poster and I've only really became a UFC fan since about January of this year. My favorite fighter is Anderson Silva and for UFC 87, I am defiantly most excited about GSP and BROCK LESNAR!

I can't wait to see Lesnar fight in the UFC for the second time! The guy is huge and I hope he wins.

[T.B.]

On the Lesnar/Herring bout:

Brock will finish Herring.

Lesnar is going to be TOUGH to beat if he picks up a few more BJJ fundamentals.

WHO will take Brock down?! AND keep him there? Shiiiiit, maybe Cain Velasquez. But, that's probably about it as far as HW's go. ALSO, who is to say that Cain would be able to hold Brock there for long? YouknowhatImean?


On Lesnar's striking:

His leg strikes still seem a little stiff and telegraphed (based off re-watching the Mir fight), he doesn't really WHIP them out crisply, while pivoting on the plant leg (like Alves, Florian, Tyson Griffin, Hardonk, etc.), but by no means do I think they're not HEAVY as shit. Probably feels like a pro baseball player swinging a thick-ass tree branch into your fibula. I just think if Lesnar mixed crisp technique with ALL that force, he could win fights solely with kicks. I think he has a some CRAZY power in his hands though. His torso and arms are just SO THICK, and he's such a BRUTE, I could see him dropping Herring with a jab (like he did Mir).

BUT...who knows, we could see Herring land a magical high kick, like he did on Nog, but who is to say that it'd even phase Lesnar? That big Bison skull on Lesnar can probably take a pretty heavy shot.

We'll see how it goes, but I see Brock winning via (T)KO, and like I said, if he learns those BJJ fundamentals (like how to NOT leave limbs just hanging out there), and a bit more leg kicking technique, he's going to be a TOUGH F'N TEST for ANY UFC heavyweight.

Thoughts?

[B-Real]

My thoughts are that you're spot on. What would somebodies gameplan be when fighting Brock? He's going to knock the shit out of you and I think it's going to be power of technique 90% of the time. How many people have Mir's submission skills? When somebody is on top of you hitting you with heavy blows like Brock's, it's very difficult to pull off a submission.

[ash]

On the Mir fight:
I think Brock made two big mistakes that cost him the Mir fight. First, the illegal blows (shrug). Second, leaving a limb out there just asking for Mir to snag it. I honestly believe that if he had not made BOTH of those errors he would have won the fight, and quickly. Both of those mistakes were really the signs of a green rookie, and I've got to think that he has learned from them. I expect Brock to come out more composed this time and much, much more wary of possible submissions.

On Brock's striking:
I thought his technique looked horrible in the Mir fight...even that shot that apparently dropped Frank looked awkward. He has a lot of inherent strength though, so he can still be dangerous. If he learns some good technique to go with that strength he could be devastating.


On the next fight:
Heath might land a shot and put Brock out in the first round, anything can happen. But short of that I don't see him walking through Brock, and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Brock go in there and dominate.

[stitch1z]

T.B.

I'm very interested to see what Heath's gameplan is in this fight. As everyone has mentioned, he has a weak TDD and I think it's pretty obvious that Herring is likely to be the better fighter on his feet.

I'm not convinced Brock can take a punch. I think that's why he was so anxious to get Mir on the ground (which I think we all agree was the only place Mir could win that fight).

I'd really like to see Brock stand up and bang, but I don't see him risking that strategy with the Texas Crazy Horse, and I don't see Heath stuffing the takedowns. However, Heath is not easy to TKO, so it will be interesting.

I think that stylistically, this is a great match-up for Brock and simultaneously knocks Heath back down a few notches so he won't become next in line to fight Nog for a fourth time. I expect Brock to get the win, but I'll be pulling for Herring.

I laughed.. Although I agree.

That big bison skull should show that Brock is a hard guy to knock out. Then again, it doesn't mean he will take punches well. Some guys that have good chins still don't like to be hit. But who does? It hurts. Haha, I guess I should say some guys don't shrug it off that well. I hope he can take a few shots from Herring and not be discouraged. I'd hate to see him as the type of fighter who starts to fold when he gets tagged a few times.

Brock doesn't look like that kind of guy, though. He's a brute. He better act like one!

[Damone]

I would honestly be shocked if Brock finished Heath Herring.

Herring's not the easiest guy to finish. Nog only did it once in their 3 fights and it took Fedor 10 minutes to finish Heath and in that 10 minutes, Fedor was throwing everything at Herring and Herring was still in the fight.

Herring's underrated, especially in this fight.
