It's up on the website that Heath Herring is fighting Brad Imes in Houston.

I can see Herring making quick work out of Imes, unless Imes has improved tremendously since he's fought Dan Christianson.

WEll it looks like they are makin' a whippin' boy out of Imes. He's not gonna win this fight either. Don't like Herring but he's gonna make it look easy.

This is a total freakshow matchup. Then again, anything involving Brad Imes is a freakshow. The guy is like Giant Silva's knee happy son. I see Heath winning a UD, but I seriously wouldn't be shocked if Brad somehow took this. Herring is not the fighter he once was.

I agree. Brad Imes has a SOLID chin, watch the fight with him and Rashad. He also can throw a mean jab and has a good muay thai clinch. I think he could definitely upset Herring but will most likely use a UD, I don't see him getting knocked out by Herring

Herring is a CAN. He's one of those guys that is good enough to fight @ the top, but never goes anywhere. He's like Joe Riggs.

good Imes back in action i was thinking about makign a thread cause ive been wondering were this guy went. Maybe he has made improvements, he could give heath some trouble. Im looking forward to this fight should be a good one.

I actually can't wait to see this fight. They match up well. The both are huge and both like to stand up. If Herring loses then whats next for him? Even if Imes loses whats next for him. I hate when they put two fighters coming off loses against each other. I see this one going all the way to decision.

You just totally contradicted yourself, hes good enough to fight at the top....yet he's a "can"? Are you mentally retarded? It would seem so....anyways he's defintely not a can, but Damone I agree after that O'brien fight it would seem like it's not the old herring, I am hoping he gets his shit together and brings his Pride fighting style to this next fight, I really enjoyed watching his fights in pride...we will see.

Woo this'll be a good one I just hope Heath doesn't really suck as bad as he let on last fight. Hope that was a one time ordeal I don't wanna keep getting disappointed everytime I watch him. Texas Crazyhorse versus the Hillbilly Heartthrob. Hey at least Heath will have a home town crowd to back him up this time.

I can understand someone saying that Heath just isn't what he used to be, but a can? That's also an odd definition of can.

Joe Riggs is also not a can. He's inconsistent, and a mental midget, but he's a solid fighter when he wants to be. I guess that was what you're trying to explain, but a can usually means that they suck and are just there to get dominated.

if that last loss has got Heath motivated, he may totally kick Brad's ass, and put himself back in center stage.
I agree with this, and I reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy hope it happens. His last fight should serve as a huge wake up call and tell him to get his f*cking act in gear, he's not in pride anymore and he needs to realize that there will be no yellow cards for lay and prayers (coughobriancough). I'm really hoping we see the REAL heath return the octagon against Imes...and well if he doesn't...I give up. Should be a good fight though:thumbsup:

I wonder who'll be wearing a bigger cowboy hat?

hahaha....Imes is the "heart-throb" comboy whereas as herring looks more like the serial killer type of cowboy, time for these opposite images to clash, interesting.

I predict a bigger hat on Imes but brown or beige, and herrings will be black and he'll wear the black trenchcoat...and will have cooler hair.
