In a shocking turn of events, Darren “The Gorilla” Till (#6 ranked middleweight contender) has been forced to pull out of his December 5 fight against Jack “Joker” Hermansson (#4 ranked middleweight contender) due to injury. In his place, Hermansson will fight the currently unranked Kevin “Trailblazer” Holland. The fight is to take place at the main event of UFC Fight Night 185.
Hermansson’s reps say they sought a ranked replacement, but several of them turned it down and Hermansson was determined to get one more fight in before end of the year.
