Cole Shelton - February 8, 2024

Joe Pyfer has full confidence he will KO Jack Hermansson in the main event of UFC Vegas 86 on Saturday at the UFC Apex. Pyfer is set for his first UFC main event and he gets the chance to fight Hermansson who is ranked 10th at middleweight. Although Pyfer is unranked, he is a sizeable betting favorite as he’s a -258 favorite as the oddsmakers expect the American to remain undefeated in the UFC.

Jack Hermansson believes he has to "make a statement" against Joe Pyfer at UFC Vegas 86 to prove he's still a title contender

Cole Shelton - February 6, 2024

Jack Hermansson isn’t surprised people are overlooking him and doubting him going into his UFC Vegas 86 main event fight against Joe Pyfer. Hermansson hasn’t fought since December of 2022 when he suffered a TKO loss to Roman Dolidze. He was later booked to fight Brendan Allen in June, but an injury forced him to withdraw as he was out of action for all of 2023, which was frustrating for ‘The Joker’.

Jack Hermansson pens poem to Sean Strickland following loss at UFC Vegas 47: “Best of luck to murder your next competition”

Harry Kettle - February 7, 2022

Jack Hermansson has written an amusing poem to his fans and Sean Strickland in the wake of his loss last weekend. In the main event of UFC Vegas 47 on Saturday night, Jack Hermansson simply wasn’t able to match Sean Strickland as he fell to a decision defeat. The bout was certainly an intriguing one but in comparison to some other middleweight main events we’ve seen in recent years, it didn’t really live up to the hype.

The Octagon returned to Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 47 event, a thirteen-bout fight card headlined by Jack Hermansson vs. Sean Strickland. The highly anticipated middleweight main event proved to be the story of Sean Strickland’s jab. The American was able to consistently batter the face of ‘The Joker’ with a lightning quick left hand which he used to dictate the contest. The fight went the full twenty-five minutes, but it was pretty clear that Strickland had done enough to get his hand raised… Or so we thought. One judge managed to score the fight for Hermansson, a decision which was booed by the few fans in attendance.

Jack Hermansson explains why he's "the biggest threat" to Israel Adesanya: "I'm the person that is going to dethrone him"

Cole Shelton - February 4, 2022

Jack Hermansson believes he is the biggest threat to Israel Adesanya at middleweight. Adesanya is the current middleweight champion and has been seemingly unbeatable at 185lbs. However, for Hermansson, he believes his grappling is the main reason as to why he poses the biggest threat to the champ.
