HH FTW, I’m definatley betting some $$ on Herring, he’s like +250 with a way better chance of winning this fight than that imo. The only guys to really man handle him were Fedor, Cro Cop and Brock, Brock only because of his size.

WAR HERRING!

I’m also taking Herring. I have not been impressed thus far with Cain. He has garnered way to much hype at this point in his career considering the quality (or lack of quality) of opponents he has faced. Herring on the other hand, has been in the ring with a who’s who of MMA talent. I see Herring’s experience being the deciding factor in this one.

i couldnt really care who wins

if cain wins then he has won his first real challenge and will take his first big step towards the title

if herring wins then he proves he has still got it and gets to stay in the ufc but it would also mean we shouldnt of believed the hype of valesques (personally i dont believe it anyway)

so whoever wins doesnt bother me i’m just trying to figure out who to lay money on…. (probably herring)

At plus $250, I will have to bet Herring!

Herring is a crafty SOB who always has a shot at winning. I love him as a dog against a young unproven puppy.

I wouldnt really be mad if Cain proves to be the truth and whoops Herring, although it will cost me some loot. Heavyweight division NEEDS Young bucls to step up!

Yeah its hard to think 30 fights is an underdog to 4 fights, but Cain has looked real sharp with his hands recently, and has tremendous wrestling. +250 seems a bit much though, and $$ on TCH isn’t a bad idea.

I liked this video. Heath seems like a cool dude.

Obsess much?! They talked about Brock more than they talked about Heath!

Not to get all queer eye, but thats the most horrible house I’ve ever seen! I like Heath, but he has seriously bad taste.

Cain will send him packin out of UFC with this fight.

HH is about as close to a lock to win this fight as any fight we’ve recently seen. Does anyone think that Cain’s standup will have any bearing on this fight? BS. Heath will win.

Herring Is one of the coolest fighters ever, and a very classy one as well (I dont wanna hear that crap about what happened before the Brock fight), but I really think this will be like his fight with Jake O’Brian. Cain will lay on him for 3 rounds and not finish him to get the decision. Hope im wrong, Heath deserves a big win.

I love Heath, his big laugh cracks me up. He is a great fighter and he is tough as nails. He hung in there against Brock for 15 minutes with a broken face. BUT as much as I like him I think Cain is dangerous everywhere. Maybe I am buying too much into the Hype but I think he will be HW Champ in the next couple years. I hope for a good fight. I think Cain will win.

Good interview! Heath is a down-to-earth guy.

Rooting for Herring.

damn newfound respect for Heath… not that I didn’t have any but now I know he’s a genuinely cool guy, didn’t expect that.
