Jack Hermansson’s (19-4) first UFC main event will come on short notice against a premium name in the middleweight division.
Yoel Romero (13-3) was forced to withdraw from April’s UFC on ESPN 3 headliner due to illness. This paved the way for Hermansson to step in and fight Ronaldo Souza (26-6) in a bout with title implications.
UFC on ESPN 3 takes place in the BB&T Center, Sunrise, Florida on April 27. The card airs on ESPN following early prelims on ESPN+.
