UFC 87 Heath Herring vs. Brock Lesnar Early Thoughts
By Matt D. | July 30, 2008
Right now Heath Herring is +210 at Bodoglife.com compared to Brock Lesnar’s -270. I think the odds for Herring are too good.
I’ve always thought that Herring is a top ten fighter, and I still do. MMA Weekly has Aleksander Emelianenko as their #10 heavyweight, and Sherdog.com has Ben Rothwell as their #10. Herring wouldn’t be a favorite over either of those fighters? Really?
I like Herring’s chances in this fight. Although he is mostly known as a striker, Herring has won a number of fights in the past by submission. I think his extra submission skills could give him what he needs to beat a fighter like Lesnar. I’ll take +210 in a heartbeat.
