I'm kind of picking Herring to win but I'm not sure. A part of me wants Brock to win just because it would help the heavyweight division more.

Heath Herring winning does nothing for the division. We aren't going to see Herring vs. Big Nog 4.

I'd be content with Brock winning a decision due to control. I'm pretty sure he can do that. The question is, will he? Who knows.

Herring's underrated, especially in this fight.

He may not finish him, but there's nothing stopping Lesnar pounding on Herring for 15 minutes when he takes him down.

Could happen, but I haven't seen how Lesnar's cardio is. I also haven't seen how he handles being hit.

I know Heath can go 15 and I know he can take a good punch. If he comes out aggressive, he could land a shot and follow up.

Both guys can win.

Has Lesnar even been hit yet? I know Frank Mir tried to kick him but he caught it.

Like I said, due to his head and neck, he should be able to take a hit fine. Although that doesn't mean he will like it. I'd be angry if Herring clipped him a few times and Brock started to panic.

I don't think he has been hit.. The dude is so aggressive that his two opponents haven't had the chance to take a swing at him.

He really needs to learn how to conserve energy. A big guy like that can't be that explosive for long.

kongo beats cc and has to fight on thr under card..

...For the main event...George St. Pierre is up for another tough test. Jon Fitch is no slouch and is well-rounded, but GSP's all-around game is better. St. Pierre is more athletic than Fitch is. This may be a close fight if Fitch hangs in there, but I believe he will be overwhelmed with GSP's wrestling and striking. Fitch may even get submitted. If Brock Lesner is fighting Heath Herring, this is Brock's chance to make a statement. Heath has improved greatly, so this is a big test for Brock. Brock's best chance to win is similiar to the way he fought Mir...dominate the top position, stay mounted & pound him out. Heath's Jiu Jitsu is nowhere near the caliber of Mirs.
As for Huerta & Florian....that match I really wanna see. These two are gonna bang for sure, and with Kenny's razor-like elbows...it could get nasty! Good card...

I highly highly doubt conditioning is going to be a factor in this one. And as much as I want Brock to win, a big explosive animal is what the HW division needs, Heath looks like he is in the best shape I've ever seen him in, Brock should have started mma a lot earlier because trying to break into it like this is probably not going to work out.

I give Brock props for actually stepping in there and fighting legit dudes. He could've fought cans and made easy money, but he wanted to fight solid HW's.

I'm stuck on who to choose for the Lesnar-Herring fight.

On one hand, people are seriously underestimating Herring in this fight, he's got much better striking and much better jitz than lesnar, way more experience, is good at escaping from positions.

On the other hand, Lesnar has the the style matchup in his favour.

I'm thinking back to the O'Brien fight, but then I remember Brock fights nothing like that. I'm thinking he might gas himself out trying to finish Heath.
