Middleweight up and comer Ed Herman will look to follow up on the biggest win of his career on April 19th when he takes on unbeaten grappling wizard Demian Maia in a bout that completes UFC 83’s 11 bout card.

A finalist from season three of The Ultimate Fighter, Ed “Short Fuse” Herman (16-4), was defeated by submission in his first post-TUF3 bout by Jason MacDonald in October of 2006, but since then the 27-year old Oregonian has been on an impressive tear, submitting Chris Price and Scott Smith in successive bouts before scoring the first knockout win of his career over Joe Doerksen at UFC 78 last November, a win that avenged an earlier loss to the Canadian.

Unbeaten in seven pro MMA bouts, Sao Paulo, Brazil’s Demian Maia is a decorated grappler with a Pan American, an Abu Dhabi, two world, and three world cup championships to his name. He has continued his success in the MMA world, and last October he made a successful UFC debut when he submitted Ryan Jensen in the first round.

Headlined by the highly-anticipated welterweight title rematch between Matt Serra and Georges St-Pierre, as well as middleweight bouts between Rich Franklin and Travis Lutter, and Michael Bisping and Charles McCarthy, UFC 83 is sold out. The only way to see the show will be on pay-per-view beginning at 10pm ET.
