Ultimate Fighting Championship has retained the services of one of Europe’s most talented middleweights: Jack Hermansson.

Hermansson is the reigning middleweight champion of leading British organization Cage Warriors Fighting Championship, who this week confirmed that “The Joker” has made the move to the Octagon.

According to a Tuesday report from The Sun, Hermansson will make his UFC debut against Englishman Scott Askham on Sept. 3, when the company touches down in Germany for a UFC Fight Night card. The show, which will air live from Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, is expected to be headlined by a heavyweight duel between Andrei Arlovski and Josh Barnett.
