Geane Carlos Herrera (/dʒɑːn/; May 27, 1990 – May 18, 2024) was an American mixed martial artist who competed in the Flyweight division. He is best known for his stint in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Geane Carlos Herrera was born on May 27, 1990, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Herrera had a son, born in 2007. On the 18th of May 2024 at around 10:45 p.m, Herrera was driving his motorcycle on Gandy Bridge when he collided into the back of another vehicle at a high speed. He then struck a concrete barrier and was thrown from his motorcycle, TMZ reported. Herrera was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 33.
