UFC Contract In the interview often cited and poorly cited here as verification that Heath Herring is no longer under contract with the UFC Herring at no point makes it absolutely clear that he has no obligations remaining to the company He makes it clear that he does not want to or think he will fight for them ever again But he hedges quite a lot when asked to make clear what his status is with them And it sounds a lot more like he still is under some sort of obligation with them that he is prepared to wait out and thus avoid a courtroom battle than that he is completely and entirely not a part of the organization Adding to this that the UFC still keeps a profile of him on their website as a current fighter it would appear that this is the case
