Should he defeat Roman Dolidze, Jack Hermansson wants to be rebooked against Derek Brunson.
Hermansson was expected to share the Octagon with Brunson in the original co-main event of UFC Orlando on Saturday. However, the ‘Joker’ lost out on Brunson after he was forced to withdraw because of an undisclosed injury. Receiving a short-notice replacement has become common for Hermansson, who has had several fights either changed or canceled in recent years.
“It keeps on happening, and I don’t know if it’s the fourth or fifth time in the UFC that I get a short-notice replacement, so bad luck,” said Hermansson at his pre-fight press conference (video provided by MMA Junkie).
