Geane Herrera
Geane Carlos Herrera (; born May 27, 1990) is an American mixed martial artist competing in the Flyweight division. He is probably best known for his stint in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Background
Herrera was born in Duarte, California, but moved to Cali, Colombia with his mother and sister when he was a baby. The family lived there for nine years before returning to the United States.

Mixed martial arts career
Herrera made his professional mixed martial arts debut in March 2011.

He competed primarily for regional organizations in the Southeastern United States where he amassed an undefeated record of 8–0, before signing with the UFC on the heels of a first round finish of Josh Rave in July 2014.

Ultimate Fighting Championship
Herrera made his promotional debut against Ray Borg on August 8, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 73. He lost the fight by unanimous decision.

Herrera was tabbed as a short notice replacement to face Joby Sanchez on December 11, 2015 at The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale, where he filled in for Justin Scoggins.  After a back-and-forth two rounds, Herrera earned a TKO finish in the final minute of the second round.

Herrera next faced Ali Bagautinov on June 18, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 89. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Herrera faced Ben Nguyen on November 27, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 101.  He lost the fight via unanimous decision and was subsequently released from the UFC.

Post-UFC career
Over a year removed from his release, Herrera would go on to face Darren Mima at ACB 85 on April 21, 2018. He won the fight via first-round submission.

Bare knuckle boxing
In 2019, Herrera participated in BKFC tryouts and received a contract to the organization. He was scheduled to make his debut against Abdiel Velazquez at BKFC 8 on October 19, 2019. However, the bout did not materialize due to an unknown reason.

Herrera eventually made his debut on July 23, 2021 at BKFC 19. He faced Abdiel Velazquez	and won the fight via TKO in the second round.

Personal life
Herrera has a son (born 2007).
