Epic toughness shown in defeat
Herman lost to Alonzo Menifield via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 265 on Saturday in Houston.
ANALYSIS
It would not be a stretch to label Herman as one of the toughest men walking planet Earth today. Any mere mortal would have been finished after eating countless vicious leg kicks and dozens upon dozens of head strikes, but Herman continued to push forward to somehow see the final bell. "Short Fuse" may have had a legitimate chance to pull an upset here, but his completely inability to plant on his lead leg was his ultimate undoing. Saturday was Herman's 25th fight under the UFC banner. His record (13-11, 1NC), is mediocre, but he's almost always competitive and his toughness is a joy to watch. The defeat snaps a three-fight winning streak for Herman.

Gets Menifield in Houston
Herman will take on Alonzo Menifield in a light heavyweight matchup at UFC 265 on August 7, Farah Hannoun of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
While Herman has been largely inconsistent through his UFC run, he currently finds himself on a three-fight winning streak (which followed up a three-fight losing streak). The 40-year-old will now get a massive step up in competition against Menifield, a 33-year-old up-and-comer with tons of power in his hands. Both share strikingly similar statistics in terms of striking output, though Herman has a bit more of an offensive wrestling game to fall back on. Utilizing that to to avoid the big shots from Menifield will likely be key to his game plan.
