David 'The Crow' Loiseau returns at UFC 97 to face Ed Herman

Former UFC middleweight contender David Loiseau will return to the Octagon on April 18 when he faces The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 finalist Ed Herman at UFC 97 from The Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada according to Cageplay.com.
"Short Fuse" is hoping to not only spoil Loiseau's homecoming, but to also snap a two-fight losing streak inside the cage. Herman came up on the losing end of a split-decision loss to Alan Belcher back in September and was choked out by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu phenom Demian Maia at last year's UFC 83.
Loiseau recently defeated Solomon Hutcherson via fifth round technical knockout to earn the Xtreme MMA (XMMA) middleweight title at the Claude Robillard Sports Complex in Montreal, Canada.
It was a big (and gutsy) win for "The Crow" — his third straight since a controversial split-decision loss Jason Day earlier this year — because it got him once step closer to a UFC return.
The Canadian was at one time a top 185-pound title contender. In fact, he challenged then-champion Rich Franklin for his belt at UFC 58: "USA vs. Canada" in 2006, losing to "Ace" in a lopsided unanimous decision.
Loiseau had won four of five bouts inside the Octagon, including stoppages of Evan Tanner, Charles McCarthy and Mark Weir, to earn the opportunity.
After the loss to Franklin, however, Loiseau dropped three of his next four and fell of the radar. He was cut from the promotion rather abruptly after a unanimous decision loss to Mike Swick at UFC 63: "Hughes vs. Penn" in September 2006.
Loiseau — who trains with welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and Patrick Cote, among others — has been working hard ever since in smaller shows to be invited back.
It looks like his efforts have finally paid off, which is good news for him, the fans and the middleweight division.

Last I seen of the crow he was BROKEN Mentally! HOwever I have not seen him fight since he left the UFC so I wont be quick to judge.
Have any of you Canadian Maniacs seen him fight in smaller shows? Has anyone seen the footage of him in a 5 round title fight against Soplomon. It took him 5 rounds to beat Solomon? Not a good sign if you ask me, but for all I know Solomon improved as well.
I wont be quick to judge….Has anyone seen him fight since leaving the UFC??

He definitely had some stuff gong on w/ his head. He has a ton of talent and even if he never holds the belt he is still fun to watch. I haven’t seen him fight since he lost to Swick.

I saw the vid of the fight with Dooms Day. They were evenly matched although (rightfully) Day just got the judges nod (split).
Not a great showing from The Crow as you would expect any contender to walk through Dooms Day.
by MoonUK on Jan 5, 2009 5:00 PM EST up reply actions
Thanks Moon! If he is as broken mentally as I think he is, this will be his only UFC fight and the only reason they probably even brought him back to the UFC was for the Canadian show.

Wow, really surprised about how the Crow did against Day. Haven’t seen him since the UFC either, john. But I loved watching him fight. (Note to kenflo….Loiseau has the real “hellbows”..hehehe). Hopefully, as he is back in the UFC, he will be back to old form. Definitely looking forward to it. I’ll take him by 2nd round TKO. I would say 1st round, but I imagine he won’t take too many early risks on his first fight back.

Their could be some great match ups for him in the MW division, i still believe he has the best elbows in the business. I wanna see him against bisping that could be a great stand up fight.
by ricky on Jan 5, 2009 2:49 PM EST up reply actions
If this happens, expect a Bisping loss. He doesn’t have what it takes to hang with the crow…Unless The Crow is now a shell of his former self.

Are you kidding???? did you see what Bisping did to Day! did you see what Day did to the Crow!
I’ve always liked the way the crow fights but common!

Bisping’s knees and striking are no match for Loiseau’s roundhouse kick to the liver!100% guaranteed!

Moon, you’re trying to do mma math which we all know does not work out. The Crow is a tough S.O.B. so c’mon. or common as you put it.
by SpiderStyle on Jan 5, 2009 8:06 PM EST up reply actions
Moon, did you actually watch the Day/Loiseau fight? It was tight the whole way.
by JB on Jan 5, 2009 8:29 PM EST up reply actions
Jb: Look at my comment above. I said it was fairly evenly matched!
Spider: Don’t give me all this MMA Math crap, Bisping didn’t just beat day he totally outclassed him and showed that they are on complete different levels, thats the basis of my assumption.
It makes me laugh that people say Day is a bum after Bisping beat him but Day beats The Crow in a close fight and nobody says that The Crow is a bum (which I don’t think he is)

He just needs to put up a triangle and Herman will find a way to fall into it.

about time, best elbows in the game at one time. hopefully he will cut up the pasty a$$ head of ed herman and bleed him dry.

i did see his last fight and his elbows and explosiveness was there, plus a nasty jab as well. need improvement to hang with the better guys at mw but i think hes as good as most currently in the division.

hey. i just met david at ufc 92. him and greg jackson.
both r really nice guys. i was asking him if he thought he would be
fighting in the ufc next year.. he said he was in talking..
glad to see it worked out for him!
and he got a great opponent for his 1st fight back..
im thinking the crow’s nasty groud and pound + strength will win 4 him.
some peeps think the crow is done?
i dont.
this should be a good fight!

I wanna see the original elbows smash the crap out of Ed’s face or the spinning back kick to the gut. I like them both but i would like to see the Crow have a good run in the UFC again.

also they are setting up a Heavyweight TUF, i know this was already discussed but Ishii has been offered an invitation to be on the show, i think its set to start taping in late summer or fall
by ehoglund on Jan 5, 2009 1:30 PM EST up reply actions
Ishii, Kimbo, and Lashley would be bad@ass IMO! I think the ratings would go threw the roof!
by JV on Jan 5, 2009 1:49 PM EST up reply actions
They mentioned that both would be available, but didnt say anything about them as of yet. I think if kimbo hasnt done anything (other then his wonderful commentating abilities) then i wouldnt be surprised to see him join the cast. I think by the time TUF rolls around Lashley might be to much of a monster for the show. Although i think if he did join the show it might be one of the better quality TUF seasons. As much as we hate on kimbo and all these guys they would actually have a decent amount of skill compared to those that are normally on the TUF
by ehoglund on Jan 5, 2009 2:13 PM EST up reply actions
lol, you’re joking right. Kimbo has more talent than Bisping, efrain, nover, vinny, etc. I hope you were joking!
by kevin on Jan 5, 2009 2:21 PM EST up reply actions
I was joking a little bit but you are comparing him to the best of all TUF, remember there are the tools that are on there too, for example, Noel(who left for his girl) and Julez Bruch..(forget how to spell his name), and many others that shouldn’t have been on the show. I am not throwing props to kimbo or anything but the fact that he knows a little bit of boxing and trains with Bas might win him a fight on the show.

don’t count herman out. he has an advantage on the ground in my opinion. the crow has flashy but solid stand up and a slicing gnp from any top position. should be a good fight! herman by triangle in round 1.

Are you guys serious . . . My only reply to this is “why?” Dude got worked and he ran most of the Franklin fight, and Franklin couldnt even breath against Ando, so i ask again, “why?” or maybe “what the point?” is more accurate. Bring back Lawler and Diaz for starters, at least they have shown improvement since they departed, Diaz beat Gomi and Lawler earned himself a belt else where, the Hummingbird has done what exactly???
by ( (Adam G) ) on Jan 5, 2009 1:26 PM EST reply actions
Yea he’ll beat Herman, but long run, whats the point, unless he cuts to 170 LMAO!

i am sure its possible but you think he could make WW? and go down even though GSP is there?
by ehoglund on Jan 5, 2009 9:09 PM EST up reply actions
Maybe if GSP goes after Anderson he could drop, make a switcheroo or something, And that just makes the case for “why?” even stronger that GSP is a friend and top WW.
by ( (Adam G) ) on Jan 5, 2009 9:19 PM EST up reply actions
true, I think if/when GSP fights anderson Dana said it was going to be a catchweight, but GSP would prolly like 185 so he doesnt have to cut any weight. If it is at 185 is it a title fight? i think yes but dont know. If the old Crow comes back it could mix things up a bit, but he will never be a champ.
by ehoglund on Jan 5, 2009 9:36 PM EST up reply actions
yeah i gotta agree adamg. he looked horrible in the swick fight as well, untill the last couple of minutes. he seems to have the same mental issue that gsp has. they probably go to group therapy sessions for their confidence defficiency’s.

so 2 out of 3 isn’t bad, and I think sanchez will be a beast at 55!

aoki might have the most active and dangerous guard in mma and his rubber guard is second only to bj. sherk would get caught in something eventually.

Kev, that would be the best fight possible for him outside the UFC i think. And hell yea, Sanchez will be a beast at 55 i hope!! I wanted to see him and BJ at 170 but i hope we get to see them at 55 if BJ can have some patients!! LoL, probably not!

I wonder how much GSP had to do with his return?

It is about time “The Crow” made his way back to the UFC. Certainly time that “Short Fuse” makes his way back to the minors!
Way to go David!

Maybe he will take this really serious because he knows it’s the last chance he have to be in the UFC. He’s got a lot of time until the ufc 97. And Ed Herman look like a guy who can be cut by elbows.
