There are many fighters who put little or no value on the UFC’s official rankings, but Jack Hermansson is not one of them.
Fresh of his first-round finish of Gerald Meerschaert at UFC on FOX 31, Hermansson, who holds a 5-2 record in the Octagon, underlined the importance of gaining a spot in the promotion’s rankings.
“I think it’s really important because the UFC tend to match people in the rankings with each other,” Hermansson told Eurobash.
“If you’re not in the rankings, it’s unlikely that you’ll be climbing towards a title shot, which is my goal, so I want to get my name up there as soon as possible.
