Lesnar is a beast. Herring is past his prime and can’t stop the takedown to save his life.
Lesnar = wrestling machine! He will take him down whenever he wants to and pound him out. Bet on it.

Herring has the experience but is not the fighter he was in the past. I am guessing Brock gets the upper hand mostly based on size and strength. I will not be at all suprised to see Brock destroy Herring just by over powering him. That almost happened with Mir until Mir got the submission. Herring does not have the great submission game like Mir does. One thing I liked from Brock when he fought Mir was the killer instinct. When Mir was on his back Brock started in with those rapid hammer fists like a rabid caveman. I can see why the odds are what they are. It will still be hard not to put $100 on Herring just in case. As I see it, Herring is FAR more experienced but past his prime. I am just not sure that is enough to beat a monster like Brock.

i dont get that either, Herring has fought literally the best HWs in the world and Lesnar not so much, i just dont get it, Herring did have a good point in saying nobody has seen Lesnar get hit or kicked yet how will he respond? its like people look @ Lesnar’s size and so o what a beast nobody can stop him…. so therego he is the favorite i guess

Me either, there’s definitely value in a bet on Herring.
