is Dave Herman a lock?

Nope, but I like him to win!

No Struve will catch him in a Hair-BodyLock and tap him out

Does this look like a lock???

If Struve pulls guard he will win this fight. Certainly not counting on it though.

This isn't relevant to what you posted, but I thought I'd share. I just saw this comment on a BE post in regards to the Herman Struve fight: "i had this dream the other night that both these guys hit eachother at the same time and both fell down. but struve slowly got back to his feet circa wwf 1985 and won the match. that would be crazy if it came true!"

I had that same EXACT dream last night. Double KO but Struve recovers more quickly and wins. I rarely dream and it's never been about MMA before so I got chills when I read that. That's the only fight I remember but I woke up pissed that Markes lost, Herman lost, but on the upside Ellenberger won.. so I'm laying there trying to do the math in a daze (am I up or down?) before I realized it was a dream.

Anyway, I think Herman takes this. I got him him at -105 and -135.

You should really lay off that shit!

Any chance you read that comment before the dream? It's creepy and would be awesome if it happened - except the part that we all lose money on Herman.

Markes and Herman lost? Dang... go back to sleep.

Maybe not a sure thing, but I very much like his chances to either sweep or submit Herman.

I rewatched his fight against Einemo and besides that one flurry of strikes that rocked Einemo he really didn't look good. Struve is a better matchup for him stylistically but I think Struve's experience against much higher level fighters could prove the difference.

Herman has never been sub'd in his life.

Struve has a solid ground game for a HW. And his long limbs help him pull stuff off. But he is far from a BJJ guru. He is a Purple Belt who has only sub'd bums. I would think Herman is the equivalent to a Purple Belt.

Struve might pull guard, and that might be a decent option for him. But probably because he finds himself losing the standup battle.

Lets not act like Struve is Roger Gracie.

He also swept and reversed Einemo twice in that fight though
