Jack Hermansson is one of the most talked about fighters in the UFC’s middleweight division after his one-sided upset win over perennial contender Ronaldo Souza in late April.
Following the decision win, a clear sign of Hermansson’s elevated stock was former champion Chris Weidman tweeting his interest in a showdown with “The Joker”. Although the New Yorker was previously one of the names that topped the Swede’s list of prospective opponents, with him now sitting a ranking spot ahead of Weidman, he no longer sees him as his “first choice” for his next dance partner in the Octagon.
