Now He Likes to Fight Without Wands
Herdman made his MMA debut at Rise of Champions 2 in London on April 23, 2016, defeating fellow amateur Janusz Walachowski on points at a catchweight of 176 pounds after rounds of 29-28, 29-28, and 29-28. “It made sense to move into MMA. I got my black belt in Japanese jujitsu. I just wanted to fight, you know?” he said a week after the win.
