Jack Hermansson knew Paulo Costa’s showdown with Yoel Romero would likely determine the next middleweight title contender.
“The Joker” believes the victorious Brazilian is “most likely” to face the winner of UFC 245’s main event clash between champion Robert Whittaker and striking supremo Israel Adesanya. But he revealed he’s open to fight “The Eraser” in a title elimination bout should he have his hand raised following his UFC Copenhagen main event clash with Jared Cannonier.
“[Costa is] most likely [to fight or the title next], but I’m going to try and put on a dominant performance this time, and hopefully I can get some good hype behind me,” Hermansson told MMA Fighting’s Eurobash podcast.
