Now *that* is how you build and sell a guy. Just ask Dana "Hey Brock, go fight this jiu jitsu wizard" White.

True, but I think one of the other posters said it the best. Brand new fighters need to be eased into this game, but that also means you don't hype them as the best HW striker with a decent ground game. Dana at least put his money where his mouth is, and Brock actually showed promise against Mir. Yeah everyone knew he was gonna lose, but he showed promise. Now he's got Herring to worry about. At least Dana isn't talking about how good this guy is and then sending him out there against washed up and no name fighters. Elite XC either needs to shut its mouth or give him a real fight.
