the ceará Hermes France is not going through one of the best phases of his career. The fighter, who announced his retirement at the beginning of this year and returned a few months later, was defeated in the early hours of today (20) at Xtreme Vale Todo V, held in Costa Rica.
The Brazilian's new executioner was the Frenchman Ferrid Kheder, who won the unanimous decision of the judges in a fight valid for the organization's lightweight belt. This was the fifth consecutive defeat for Hermes, who has not won since October 2008, when he was still fighting in the UFC.
