Heath Herring

For anyone who loved the PRIDE era, Heath Herring is an unforgettable name. A 193-centimeter Texan heavyweight nicknamed The Texas Crazy Horse, he lit up Japanese rings with gritty, gut-check brawls and a chin that refused to quit. He fought everywhere that mattered, PRIDE, UFC, K-1 and Rizin, trading leather with the era's best heavyweights. His record alone never told the full story; what I remember is how his fights got the blood pumping. I have always preferred a rugged warrior like him over a polished champion. He showed Texas heart every time out.
