Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Dave Herman is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[1] Herman received a significant amount of buzz from fans and media for being undefeated in his first fifteen fights and beating his opponents impressively, having only been to a decision once in 23 professional fights.[2][3][4]

Mixed martial arts career

Following a 2–0 amateur career, Herman made his professional mixed martial arts debut on December 31, 2006. He quickly amassed an undefeated 11–0 record, fighting 10 times throughout 2007.

In 2008, Herman signed with the now defunct EliteXC organization. He debuted on the undercard of EliteXC: Street Certified, defeating Mario Rinaldi via TKO. His second bout came at EliteXC: Return of the King, where he defeated Ron Waterman via TKO. He next faced Kerry Schall in the main event of ShoXC 9, which would ultimately be the final show by the company.

Following the dissolution of EliteXC, Herman fought for a variety of promotions including Bellator Fighting Championships, Shark Fights and World Victory Road. Korean fighter Mu Bae Choi handed him his first loss in Japan on January 2009, fighting in the World Victory Road Sengoku promotion. In his next fight Herman defeated Jim York at Sengoku 11.[5]

In 2010, Herman became entangled in a lawsuit with Bellator[6] that kept him out of action in the United States for nearly a year. Once the legal issues were settled, Herman was scheduled to face Ricco Rodriguez at Bellator 31[7] but Rodriguez pulled out of the fight due to a knee injury.[8] Michal Kita stepped in, and served as Rodriguez's replacement.[9] Herman defeated him via first round submission.

Herman received his second loss after being disqualified for illegal knees to Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou. Herman then faced Yoshihiro Nakao at World Victory Road Presents: Soul of Fight.[10] He won the fight via decision, the first fight in his career to go the distance.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Herman was expected to make his promotional debut against Rob Broughton on June 11, 2011 at UFC 131.[11] However, in late March, Broughton was replaced in the bout by Joey Beltran.[12]

When Brock Lesnar pulled out of his main event fight with Junior dos Santos, Jon Olav Einemo's original opponent, Shane Carwin, stepped up to replace Lesnar against dos Santos. Herman instead fought fellow UFC newcomer Einemo. Herman defeated Einemo via TKO (punches) at 3:19 of round 2 in a back and forth bout that earned Fight of the Night honors.[13]

Herman was scheduled to face Mike Russow on October 8, 2011 at UFC 136.[14] However, the bout was cancelled after Herman failed his preliminary drug test in which he tested positive for marijuana. Herman denies using the prohibited substances.[15]
