Chase Sherman

Chase 'The Vanilla Gorilla' Sherman is a quintessential heavyweight gatekeeper: a tough, fan-friendly brawler who's bounced in and out of the UFC roster while always bringing a willingness to throw down. His kickboxing base gives him a volume-striking game that's rarer and busier than the typical heavyweight slugfest.

Sherman has spent his career testing the division's prospects and journeymen, trading wins and losses with names like Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Augusto Sakai. He's the kind of durable opponent rising big men have to get through.

For a new fan, Sherman is an honest, entertaining presence - a heavyweight who keeps a higher pace than most and is always game for a scrap.
