Give it up for Herman !!

Come on his fight with Smith was awesome. He landed some knees from the clinch threw some awesome elbows, went for submissions.

His fight with Grove was entertaining. Even though he got tapped by MacDonald it was entertaining. His armbar over Price was wicked.

Weather you like the guy or not give the guy some credit for having exciting fights. Especially if you said Smith by KO round 1 F#*# the Ginger.

Flame away..

Don't know who would have called that fight for Smith. Herman is pretty much tailor-made to beat him with his wrestling background and solid submission game.

But yeah I was impressed with Herman's elbows on the ground. Came over the top and really landed some brutal shots.

Herman brings it and you have to like him for that.

Win or lose i will always watch good, aggressive fighters like him fight. No snoozefests with his, becoming too common nowdays.

It's funny how Herman was overrated in the TUF show, and it continued throughout after his loss to MacDonald, and after that he was incredibly underrated. Herman's got skills, and he can definitely make SOME noise in the UFC MW division

Right on. I hated Herman following TUF and his losses, but the Smith fight was great.

The elbows and the way he setup the rear naked choke was nicely done. He still needs alot of work in specific areas.
