Ed "Short Fuse" Herman was born in Vancouver, Washington on October 2 1980. Ed was raised primarily in Vancouver by his father but spent plenty of time in Portland visiting his mother. Ed was raised with his little brother and two-step sisters. In high school Ed played football and was on the wrestling team. His dominant athletic career would not begin until shortly after high school. After graduation Ed moved to Portland fulltime and would begin a new experience that would take him where he is today.

It is safe to say that Ed was destined for greatness in this sport, as his father was a great wrestler as well. His father wrestled for Iowa where he was a coached under Olympic Champion Dan Gable.

Shortly after high school through a mutual friend Ed enrolled himself into some classes at Team Quest. In the beginning Ed did this as a hobby but would soon find it to be much more than just that. He began his amateur-fighting career in 2002 where he was 7-2. A couple of years later he would take on his first professional bout and the rest was history. He has amassed an impressive record of 10-2 as a professional and has taken out some very tough names along the way with his ground n' pound style. He is the current IFC Middleweight Champion, Desert Brawl Middleweight Champion, and Sportfight Light Heavyweight Champion. Regardless of all his belts, Ed has his eye on the Ultimate prize, the UFC middleweight championship.

Ed is currently a contestant on the Ultimate Fighter 3 reality series on Spike TV. Ed is seen as the favorite on the show and intends on beating out the rest of the competition for the six-figure UFC contract. Ed spends his day training at the world renowned Team Quest with the likes of Matt Lindland, Nate Quarry, Chael Sonnen, and many other great up and coming fighters. The quest for greatness has just begun for Ed Herman.
