Though he man-handled Herring, his skills are LACKING!
What's next? Guest referee Mick Foley? Tables, ladders, chairs?

I agree that he doesn't deserve a shot at Couture yet. He still hasn't beaten a real top contender. Herring is a great fighter but he isn't a title contender. I just don't get how people can say Lesnar is so lacking, though. He has very strong amateur wrestling credentials. He won an NCAA Div 1 championship and lost in the finals the year before that (to Stephen Neal of the NE Patriots).
Ginsu Victim:
Oh, I never said his wrestling skills were lacking. He proved that in college, then cemented the fact by controlling Herring the way he did. I just meant that once he has control, he's kinda lost on where to go. He's obviously too big to be doing any sort of BJJ, but if he improves his ground and pound, he'll win by TKO for sure.

Emelianenko took 10 minutes to TKO Herring. You have to consider that when assessing Lesnar's skills. The very best in the world took 10 straight minutes (not two rounds)... so Lesnar shouldn't have been able to pound him out. You're taking credit away from Lesnar for not being able to do something most cannot do and giving no credit to Herring for being able to do what most cannot do.

Your linky no worky.
Anyways, this does sound pretty interesting. Much more interesting than Kimbo Vs. Shamrock.
