At the time of his retirement, Herman had the longest uninterrupted tenure on the active roster in the UFC (made promotional debut on June 24, 2006).[8]
After compiling a 4–1 record under the SportFight banner, a 24 year old Ed Herman would capture the light heavyweight championship against eventual UFC light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira at SF 9: Respect.[10] After the bout Glover would go on a 20 fight, 9 year unbeaten streak.[11] Herman would never defend the belt, and shortly after would be selected to be a participant on SpikeTV's The Ultimate Fighter.
The Ultimate Fighter
While on the third season of The Ultimate Fighter, he won a preliminary victory against Danny Abaddi via armbar submission. In the semifinals, he defeated Rory Singer via rear-naked choke submission. He then lost to Kendall Grove in the finals by unanimous decision. Despite his loss, Herman was subsequently awarded a contract by UFC president Dana White based on his performance.
At UFC Fight Night: Evans vs Salmon, Herman scored his first UFC victory in a Catchweight contest defeating Chris Price via armbar midway through round one. At the weigh in Herman made the 186 lb limit however Price did not take to the scales, coming back later that evening to record 192 lb.
In Herman's fourth UFC fight, he took on Canadian fighter Joe Doerksen at UFC 78 who held a prior victory over Herman via submission. Herman avenged that loss, winning the fight by knocking Doerksen out in the third round and receiving Knockout of the Night honors in the process.
At UFC 83, Herman took on undefeated Brazilian fighter Demian Maia. Herman lost to Maia by triangle choke submission in the second round.
Herman's next fight came at UFC 97, where he defeated David Loiseau via unanimous decision.
In his fight against Aaron Simpson, Herman's knee was caught in a bad position near the end of the first-round during a takedown, with his opponent landing on the knee. Herman most likely sustained a serious injury at this point, visibly having trouble putting any weight on the injured leg after the round ended. Herman seemed to recover, and answered the bell for the second round. Early in the second, however, Herman further injured his knee attempting a high-kick, causing him to collapse to the mat in pain and the fight to be stopped.
Herman then stepped in to replace an injured Tom Lawlor against Kyle Noke at UFC on Versus 5 on August 14, 2011.[13] Herman defeated Noke by submission (heel hook) in the first round.[14]
Herman faced Clifford Starks on February 4, 2012, at UFC 143.[15] He won the fight via submission in the second round.
Herman faced Jake Shields on August 11, 2012, at UFC 150.[16] Herman lost to Shields via unanimous decision. However, on October 12, 2012, it was revealed that Shields has tested positive for a banned substance and the result was overturned to a No Contest.[17]
For the Strikeforce promotion's final show, Herman was allowed to step away from the UFC for one fight and signed to face Ronaldo Souza at Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine on January 12, 2013.[18] Herman took the fight after several UFC fighters turned it down. He lost the fight via submission in the first round.
Herman faced Trevor Smith on July 27, 2013, at UFC on Fox 8.[19] He won the fight by split decision. The win also earned Herman his second Fight of the Night bonus award.[20]
Herman was expected to face Rafael Natal on November 16, 2013, at UFC 167.[21] However, Natal was pulled from the pairing with Herman in favor of a bout with Tim Kennedy on November 6, 2013, in the event headliner at UFC Fight Night 31.[22] Herman instead faced Thales Leites.[23] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.
Herman was expected to face Derek Brunson on December 13, 2014, at UFC on Fox 13.[25] However, the fight was scrapped just hours before the fight, as Brunson was stricken with a stomach ailment.[26] Subsequently, the bout with Brunson was rescheduled and took place on January 31, 2015, at UFC 183.[27] Herman lost the fight via TKO in the first round.
Herman faced Nikita Krylov on July 30, 2016, at UFC 201.[32] He lost the fight via knockout due to a head kick in the second round.[33]
Herman was expected to face Igor Pokrajac on March 4, 2017, at UFC 209.[34] However, Pokrajac pulled out of the fight in early February citing an injury, and was replaced by Gadzhimurad Antigulov.[35] Subsequently, on February 20, Herman revealed that he was injured and would be unable to compete at the event.[36]
Marking the first fight of his new four-fight contract with the UFC, Herman was expected to face Gadzhimurad Antigulov on November 9, 2019, at UFC Fight Night 163.[43][44] However, on October 29, 2019, it was reported that Antigulov was pulled from the bout for undisclosed reason and he was replaced by Khadis Ibragimov.[45] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[46]
Herman was scheduled to face Da Un Jung on May 2, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Weidman.[47] However, on April 9, Dana White, the president of UFC announced that the event was postponed to a future date.[48] The bout with Jung was expected to take place on August 1, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Shahbazyan.[49] However, Jung was removed from the bout on July 23 due to alleged travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[50] In turn, Herman was rebooked to face Gerald Meerschaert at the event.[51] On the day of the event, Meerschaert was pulled out due to testing positive for COVID-19 and the bout was cancelled.[52] It was rescheduled for September 12, 2020, at UFC Fight Night 177.[53] However, Meerschaert withdrew from the bout again for undisclosed reasons and he was briefly replaced by John Allan.[54] In turn, Allan was removed from the fight in early September as he faced travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and was replaced by Mike Rodríguez.[55] During the second round Rodríguez dropped Herman with a knee to the body that was called as an illegal low blow by the referee. However, further replay showed it was a legal strike to the midsection. Herman was given extra time to recover, and went on to win the fight via kimura submission in round three.[56]
Herman faced Zak Cummings on April 15, 2023, at UFC on ESPN 44.[63] He lost the fight via TKO in the third round. After the fight, both Herman and Cummings announced their official retirement from mixed martial arts competition.[64]
Personal life
Herman lives with his girlfriend Crystal and her daughter. The couple had twins in January 2008. Before becoming a full-time professional fighter, Herman worked as a bartender and bouncer. He also has a younger brother and two step-sisters.[65] In September 2017, Herman lost the tip of the index finger on his left hand as a result of a DIY plumbing accident at his home.[66]
