“The thing about Heath Herring is that he not only says he’ll fight anyone, he proves it because he gets in there and does it. But he kind of always teetered between being a success and mediocrity. He’d win one, he’d lose one, and he just sometimes struck you as a flabby guy who wasn’t particularly dedicated. He’s all of a sudden changed his tune, and he’s much more serious and focused and dedicated. And when Heath Herring is focused and in shape, he’s a tough guy for anyone to beat.”
– UFC President Dana White tells Yahoo!Sports.com that he likes what he sees with the improved Heath Herring, who has adopted a new nutritional program and re-dedicated himself to training. Perhaps the massive man who will stand across from him inside the Octagon, Brock Lesnar, at UFC 87: “Seek and Destroy” this weekend has lit a fire under the “Texas Crazy Horse.” It should be real interesting to see how this unfolds on Saturday night.

I wanna see heath catch Brock with some violent strike and finish him, but logic tells me this most likely wont happen. I see Brock coming out like a bull and GnPndin Health. If he can survive this initial flurry then who knows. Can't wait though!

We'll at least get to see how much Brock has learned from one fight to the next. My guess is that he'll still enter the octogon like a bull in a china shop. I'm thinking that he'll try to GnP Heath to death for the first three minutes and spend the rest of the match trying to catch his breath.
I'm leaning toward Heath by late sub.

I'm not even a fan of the entire HW Div in the UFC right now!!! All the good ones are gone, except Nog. Oh, well I guess I will just keep watching Affliction!

I could not agree more but a good fight is a good fight! I cannot call this one! If Lesnar didn't learn anything he's screwed. If he did learn something Herring's headed to Affliction............

I want Heath to win big time, I woulden't want to be the first guy to lose to Lesnar in the UFC, and I think Herring is one of the best HW;s in the UFC.
