Most fighters go down in weight after a tough loss. Ed Herman, however, is moving up.
"Short Fuse" will reportedly jump to light heavyweight to meet fellow mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Tim Boetsch at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 81 card on Jan. 17, 2016, inside TD Garden in Boston, Mass., which airs on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Like his opponent, "The Barbarian" (18-9) is no stranger to the middleweight division, but hasn't had much luck in recent fights. In fact, Boetsch is just 2-7 dating back to 2012 and has been finished four times.
