Jim Larson, President of Shark Fight Promotions, had this to say, "Following the recent announcement of Bellator Fighting Championships pushing their second season back to January of 2010, we approached Herman about headlining our Shark Fight 6 event. We were very excited when he agreed to fight on the card. When we learned that Don Frye would no longer be competing in M-1's Breakthrough event, our executives unanimously agreed that Frye would be the ideal opponent for Herman. We immediately approached Frye, who recently fought for us in May, and the rest is history. We are extremely excited to have two fighters of this caliber headlining our event. This is a phenomenal match up. It is definitely a fight that the fans will want to see!"
Brent Medley, the match maker for Shark Fight Promotions had this to add, "MMA fans will start to see even more compelling match ups between well known fighters like Frye and Herman in future Shark Fight events.
