A week ago, heavyweight fighter Chase Sherman was released from the UFC roster for the second time. The 32-year-old “Vanilla Gorilla” was staring at three straight losses, most recently against Jake Collier in January.
Then things took an unexpected turn for him this week. After Tanner Boser was forced off his scheduled UFC Vegas 52 fight against Aleksandr Romanov due to injury, Sherman was then tapped as the replacement on four days’ notice.
Sherman spoke to BJPenn.com on Wednesday to give his side of the story on these recent developments.
