I say Jake is on another level and should pull this one out

Herman has been on a hell of a roll from what I recall, unless I've missed a bad fight since I've been up in AK which is very possible.

No Misfit, Herman is still on a three fight win streak, but have to say that while Shields may be 2-2 in his last four, he's fought much higher caliber fighters in his career, and while I think Herman gives him a strong challenge, just think Jake should take this one by virtue of his edge in experience with big fights and better fighters.

[Misfit]

I agree Mu, just saying Herman isn't the walk over that many of us thought in the past. He's looked great on the ground and I think he can actually make this a fight.

It's a fight Herman could win. but I just don't see him doing so. Shields will have too much for him in this one.

[Drock]

I'm rooting for Ed Herman thats all that matters
