Jack Hermansson looks to bolster his case for a future title shot, while Marvin Vettori gets the big name opponent he’s been chasing in this weekend’s new main event pairing.
“The Joker” rebounded from his loss to Jared Cannonier last September with an impressive first-round submission win over Kelvin Gastelum in July. Now 6-1 over his last seven starts and entrenched in the Top 5, Hermansson is tasked with taking on one of the hottest fighters on the roster at the moment after his initial opponents, Darren Till and Kevin Holland were forced from the contest.
Vettori enters on a three-fight winning streak and brandishing a 15-4-1 record overall.
