Top UFC middleweight Jack Hermansson isn’t too fond of a fight with former champion Chris Weidman - instead he would rather fight Yoel Romero or Kelvin Gastelum in the fall.
Hermansson (20-4) has only lost twice in his nine UFC appearances since debuting for the promotion in 2016. “The Joker” is currently on a four-fight winning streak at middleweight, with his most recent being a unanimous decision victory against Jacare Souza in late April.
Talking recently on the Eurobash podcast, Hermansson said why he doesn’t want to fight Weidman next.
“He’s one [ranking spot] behind me so it would’ve felt better if it was Gastelum or Romero who was accepting the fight,” Hermansson said.
