Um, why? Brock is as explosive as a heavyweight that anyone has ever seen, and has a LEGIT as hell background in NCAA wrestling. He can also unleash a punch that seems capable of cleanly knocking someone's head off. He EASILY takes his opponents down, and smothers them with heavy blows. That was seen in both fights before he got to Herring. Sure the MMA enthusiasts pegged Herring to win because of his fighting experience, but the fact is that the 'unknown' factor of what Brock could do certainly pulled a lot of people in his favor. My local Buffalo Wild Wings airs the ppvs for free, and man is that place down right loaded with UFC fans. And you know what the funny thing was? 80% of them were pulling for Lesnar, and by the last round it was 95%.
Nailed it, well said.
