Herring vs Lesnar UFC 87. does lesnar have the cardio?

Question

answer the question before getting off topic please.

I want to go see this event in minnesota, especially now that coleman is out of the picture ( i was gonna put major money on that )

Answer 1

of coarse lesnar has the conditioning theres no question about that.there was no fitgue during the frank mir fight.the real question is who will win?

Answer 2

Lesnar probably has the cardio, but  it won't matter.  The longer this fight goes, the less I like Lesnar.  Lesnar needs a quick knockout, like he should've done against Mir.  The longer Lesnar stands in the cage, the more his weaknesses will be exposed by a much more experienced fighter in Herring.

Herring has too much experience and cage IQ.  Maybe Lesnar has improved his ground skills & stand up, but in his last fight Lesnar demonstrated being  a "one trick pony" with GNP and nothing else.  This doesn't win  fights against top tier fighters anymore.  Also, it takes years to  develop an all around solid game.  Lesnar just hasn't been at it long enough.

Answer 3

Herrings a seasoned vet, who is a pretty good striker, h**l have no problem accuratley placing punches and kiks on brock, and he has good g+p, and cardio wise, we havent seen enough to be able to tell, but i think the longer the fight, advantage herring

Answer 4

The one thing you should not doubt about Lesnar are his strength & conditioning.  He will not be overpowered or outconditioned in the cage.  Herring has only had 1 good fight where he showed good conditioning (since he swithced trainers), which should make your question -  if Herring will have enough conditioning for Lesnar.  

I think it will be a good fight, but I am questioning why they are throwing top BJJ heavies at Lesnar when everyone wants to see him stand up & bang with people.  He needs to get some wins under his belt before he hits those top guys.

Answer 5

yep lesnar is gonna hit him really hard and unless this guy has learned a lot of bjj recently he is probably fecked. offensively lesnar is great but his defence is lacking... well in his last fight it was anyway

Answer 6

He won't need the cardio.  Herring doesn't have a chin, and Lesnars wrestling is too strong.  My prediction is Lesnar by ref stoppage due to strikes. (I hate Lesnar but Herring isn't a BJJ master, so I think Lesnar will win.)
