First steroids and now a DUI charge. If convincted, one must wonder how long it will be until Hermes is released from his contract. After all, he isn’t really a huge name.
If anyone watched the WEC card Wednesday night they showed Hermes in attendance. How ironic would it be if he had a drink in his hand when he was shown on camera? It was the same night that he was arrested…
Nothing better than a few drinks during an MMA card, especially a live one but come on people, call a cab.
