Zak Cummings and Ed Herman provided one of the most emotionally-charged post-fight moments in recent memory on Saturday when they both retired from MMA at the conclusion of their UFC on ESPN 44 bout.
Cummings (25-8 MMA, 10-4 UFC) landed three knockdowns of Herman (26-16 MMA, 13-12 UFC) en route to a third-round TKO of the bout, which took place in his home state of Missouri at T-Mobile Center. The result made Cummings the 17th fighter in UFC history to earn victories in three weight classes, and it marked his return to competition from a career-long layoff.
Double retirement.
