Jack Hermansson has had a remarkable rise to potential title contender with a four-fight win streak capped by back-to-back victories over top-10 middleweights David Branch and Ronaldo Souza, and is quick to place credit where he believes it is due.
The 30-year-old Swede, affectionately known as “The Joker” due to his smile, shocked the MMA world with his two fights this year, particularly in his last performance against Souza where he outfought the grappling ace over five rounds to earn himself a unanimous decision victory and edge himself ever closer to the belt.
