Heath Herring talks Fedor vs. Brock

How many people have fought both Brock Lesnar and Fedor Emelianenko? Heath Herring has, and with the knowledge of competing against both fighters, he weighed in on the potential match up

Herring spoke with Shambala Sports Radio recently about the battle of the two monstrous heavyweights.

"Brock is much larger than Fedor, he weighs a lot more than him," Herring said. "He's a big wrestler - that's what he does - he comes forward, he tries to take his opponent down and control them.

"Fedor has really come along a lot in the last couple years with his stand up and the striking game. He's always pretty dangerous off his back."

Herring lost a decision to Lesnar in August 2008, while his fight with Emelianenko, which ended via TKO (doctor's stoppage), took place in November 2002. But regardless of how much the top-ranked heavyweights have improved since then, Herring said that there would be other factors at play as well.

"If they got into with each other, a lot of it would depend on the referee, depend on which organization that they fight in. I think that that really would be the key.

"If Fedor was able to land shots on Brock early on and catch him, he could take the fight. But on the flip side of that, if Brock was able to take him down, and they have a referee that isn't going to stand the fight up, you could see Brock getting the takedown and just holding him down and beating out a decision victory."

But "The Texas Crazy Horse" did not offer a prediction for the fight.

"Which way would I go?" he said. "I don't know, I'd give it about 50-50."

I don't think he remembers either after the punishment he took.

this was seriously a baseless article lmao, he took too many in the head

Hindsight is 20/20, unless you have a smashed orbital.

Heath Herring? I thought he was dead. When the hell is he going to fight again....He is still under contract.

He makes too much money in his acting career. He'll fight again soon, though, I would guess.

What acting career? I've never seen or heard of him being in a movie?
