KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Zak Cummings battled with the idea of retiring prior to UFC on ESPN 44, but winning was the deciding factor. Cummings (25-8 MMA, 10-4 UFC) took out Ed Herman (26-16 MMA, 13-12 UFC) by third-round TKO this past Saturday in his hometown of Kansas City, and the moment was too good for him not to call it a career. With a performance like that, 38-year-old Cummings wanted to leave the sport on a high note. “I really wasn’t sure what I was gonna do,” Cummings told reporters, including MMA Junkie, backstage. “I knew this would be special, but I love this stuff.
