"I always said I don't want to have just one fight, I want to have at least two or three amateur fights and see what happens," Herdman told the Press Association ahead of Saturday's bout. "I'm excited to test myself. It's generally a great experience, physically and mentally, preparing for a fight."
Herdman, who's set to star in the upcoming movie "Cagefighter," made his MMA debut in April 2016, winning via unanimous decision against Janusz Walachowski.
