Background

Born and raised in D'Iberville, Mississippi, Sherman played football at D'Iberville High School. He continued with the sport on a scholarship to Jones Junior College, before transferring to NCAA Division II Delta State University after two years. At Delta State, Sherman helped the team reach the Division II National Championship in 2010 as an offensive tackle.[4] Sherman also earned a bachelor's degree in sports management and exercise science from Delta State.[5] In 2019, Sherman revealed that he had graduated from the fire academy, and is eligible to work as a firefighter.[6]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

After amassing an amateur record of 4–0, Sherman made his professional debut in April 2014. Over the next two years he fought ten times and amassed a record of 9–1; all of his wins came by TKO in the first round.[7]

Sherman next faced Walt Harris on January 15, 2017 at UFC Fight Night 103.[10] He lost the fight by knockout in the second round.[11]

For his third fight for the promotion, Sherman was scheduled to face Dmitry Poberezhets at UFC 211 on May 13, 2017. However, Poberezhets was removed from the card for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by newcomer Rashad Coulter.[12] Sherman won the fight by knockout in the second round.[13] The back-and-forth action earned both participants Fight of the Night honors.[14]

Prior to his fourth fight in UFC, Sherman revealed he had signed a new, four-fight contract with UFC.[15]

For his next fight, Sherman was tapped as a short notice replacement for Christian Colombo and faced Damian Grabowski on July 22, 2017 at UFC on Fox 25.[16] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[17]

Sherman was then set to fight former M-1 Global Heavyweight Champion Kenny Garner on April 11, 2020, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[29]

Return to Ultimate Fighting Championship

Sherman returned to UFC and faced Ike Villanueva on May 13, 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Teixeira.[30] Outclassing Villanueva on the feet, Sherman won the fight via technical knockout in round two.[31] Sherman received nine month USADA suspension for testing positive for Anastrozole from a in-competition sample collected on May 13, 2020. He became eligible to fight again on February 13, 2021.[32]

Sherman was scheduled to face Parker Porter on April 17, 2021 at UFC on ESPN 22.[33] However, Porter was removed from the event for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Andrei Arlovski.[34] Sherman lost the fight via unanimous decision.[35]

As the last bout of his prevailing contract, Sherman faced Jake Collier on January 15, 2022 at UFC on ESPN 32.[38][3] He lost the bout via rear-naked choke submission in round one.[39]

After the loss, it was announced that Sherman's contract was not renewed.[40]

Sherman was re-signed by the UFC four days after he was released the second time, as he replaced Tanner Boser against Alexander Romanov at UFC Fight Night: Lemos vs. Andrade.[41] However, the fight was cancelled when Sherman was deemed unable to compete due to a "minor heath issue" on the day of the event[42] and the pair was rescheduled for UFC on ESPN 35.[42] Sherman lost the fight via keylock submission in the first round.[43]

Sherman faced Jared Vanderaa on July 9, 2022, at UFC on ESPN: dos Anjos vs. Fiziev.[44] He won the fight via TKO in round three.[45] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[46]
