UFC Quick Quote: Heavyweight Heath Herring on hiatus

At one time Herring was a pretty good HWT. He is past his prime now though.

I thought this guy was the biggest scrub watching his loose guard agains Jake O’Brien, but after watching him against Nogueira he looked a lot better although he’s still a tool.

Heath is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

It takes time to find someone to work on his hair.

Yeah, like win the friggin fight! Noguira was on the floor singing “I’m a little teacup” in Portugese and Heath didn’t finish it.

1. Get rid of that idiotic haircut
2. Stop doing idiotic things in the ring
3. Suck it up, be a man, and use those tools you’ve been given.

This guy gave a hell of a performance against Nog, and never finished the fight. He looked great, just proved to us all how damn dumb he is. Poor decision making will get you nowhere in this sport. Especially the way it is continuing to grow and expand. The true threat is the expansion ans skill set that the merger with PRIDE has brought, as well as all the new talent. Guys like Herring are still young and bring aloth to the table, but if you cant finish…your out of a job

I wouldn’t mind seeing Herring vs. Werdum; that fight would never happen, but I like Herring. He isn’t the best, but he is a banger and bangers always love to stike and go for the knockout.

That’s actually not a bad matchup.

put him against timmmy

I agree with Howie and Sir Chokemout.

He had Nog, practically in a stretcher, and he does nothing, NOTHING! I knew it was fixed, but it was too obvious.

P.S. I’m being sarcastic about the fix. Or am I? Yes. No. Yes…

Dana did a Pride lol. 10k to win, 15k to lose.

Seriously though, it got me thinking, it is an entertainment industry and look how boxing got corrupted. People don’t like to be duped so anything dodgy in the next while and people will begin to sit and take notice and maybe look elsewhere.

But ask yourself is it beyond the realms of possibility?…A fix?…Well no, it’s not. I’d imagine it would have been tempting to try and pull the wool over our eyes, especially how Mr. White and the Fertittas so a whole load of money go down the drain when Mirko got KTFO.

However bear in mind the following; if Herring was supposed to lose I don’t think he’d try to smash Minotauro’s head in with that kick. So my honest opinion is no, it was not a fix.

P.S. Lose the beer tits Heath.

Herring did much better in his last fight, before that fight I had him pegged at about 30th place in his division….now i have him at 29.

He can afford to take off for a lousy showing making $70K for losing……. Anderson Silva only got $90K to win. Something is wrong there….

Wow, this guy isnt good enough to just give up a fight like that. Maybe he can replace GSP as the new poster boy for mental weakness. Spend time with his family? Sounds like bs excuses to me.

I’ve seen Herring finish big time in Pride so I’m not sure what happened to him in that last match. Maybe he was still scared of Nog since he has lost to him so many times?

I am still convinced that Herring recieved a payoff to lose the fight. I mean, 99 times out of 100, Big Nog is going to beat his ass fair and square. But I still think that Herring was told that if Big Nog gets into SERIOUS trouble, to back off and let him get himself back together. Honestly, all he had to do was drop like 3 hammer fists and the fight would have been over.

Who sucks more: Heath Herring or David Heath?

I’d have to go with David on this one, but they both blow.

But why would he throw the kick then?

P.S. They both suck equally.

I would say he threw the kick because he had to do SOMETHING. He couldn’t just stand there like a manikin and let Nog hit him the whole time, it would have been obvious. But to make your argument, one would think that if the fight was truely fixed, then they would have had the fight end with a first round Nog Submission or KO; it wouldn’t have been a decision.

I don’t know what’s happened to Heath Herring. If you’ve seen his early PRIDE fights, he was an aggresive ass-kicker. He would get the crowd pumped up and his fights were ALWAYS exciting. I’ve been extremely dissapointed in his UFC fights. He lookes like a busted can of biscuits. If you put a picture of him today next to a pic of him while in PRIDE you’d see 2 different men. I’m glad he’s taking time off, he needs to get in shape. I’d like to see him return to his old form…(not holding my breath).

Heath Herring does not have enough talent to attract fans as he is so he does the Dennis Rodman desperado cry for attention. What a waste of fatty tissue. I think Dana White really messed up bringing that self-centered clown into the UFC!!
