A middleweight showdown between Jack Hermansson and Jared Cannonier is being targeted as the main event for the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Copenhagen, Denmark on Sept. 28.
Multiple sources confirmed verbal agreements are in place for the contest when speaking to MMA Fighting on Wednesday, although no contracts have been signed at this time. Cannonier’s manager Malki Kawa initially announced the fight via Twitter.
If the fight is made official, Hermansson will get his wish after previously requesting to fight on the card in Denmark so he could fight close to his native Sweden.
