Swedish middleweight veteran Jack Hermansson will take on Joe Pyfer in Saturday’s Fight Night main event.
The Swede intends to show the the hyped newcomer what’s up, and already eyes his next opponent.
“This fight is the most important thing on my mind at the moment, and I don’t have any big plans forward,” Hermansson. “But I would like to stay active, get a few more fights in, and if I beat Joe, I would love to be able to climb up again. I think that after (Nassourdine) Imavov’s fight last weekend, that might be a good opponent if I beat Joe.”
Imavov clashed with Roman Dolidze in last Saturday’s UFC main event. Jack Hermansson was intrigued by the gruesome battle.
“It wasn’t the prettiest fight that I’ve seen, but I like different styles of fights,” Hermansson said. “That was one of those which was just gritty. You could see that they were tired, and it was about who wants the most almost. I enjoyed that fight and it was kind of exciting even though it wasn’t very beautiful to watch.”
