Not Officially Retired, Heath Herring Still Willing to Field Offers for MMA Return

Although 43-fight veteran Heath Herring hasn’t competed since 2008, “The Texas Crazy Horse” hasn’t officially hung up his four-ounce gloves, either.

After dropping a unanimous decision to Brock Lesnar at UFC 87, Herring elected to wait for his contract with the Las Vegas-based promotion to expire.

“I never actually officially retired,” Herring told Sherdog.com. “I did have a contract with UFC that expired in 2009. I’ve had several attorneys look at it; it’s well expired. They try to put clauses in there saying that you officially retired then your contract would end at that point.
