LAS VEGAS – Ed Herman is in town for UFC on ESPN+ 35 fight week, but he’s not going to believe a fight’s actually going down until he’s locked in the cage with Mike Rodriguez. Can you blame him? Herman (24-14 MMA, 12-10 UFC) has had several fights fall out during the COVID-19 era, most recently having his bout with Gerald Meerschaert fall out on fight day after his opponent caught the virus. “I was at fight week last time and I didn’t find out until the day of that my fight was canceled,” Herman told reporters, including MMA Junkie, on Thursday. “So I’m not counting anything until I step in that cage.” But hey, if anyone has earned the right to have such an attitude, it’s Herman, the middleweight competitor who is one of the company’s longest-tenured performers.
