The UFC’s return to Mexico City is getting a new middleweight battle between a couple of fighters on the rise.
Jack Hermansson will step in to face Brad Scott at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico on Aug. 5. The Netherlands-based mmadna.nl was the first to report the fight.
The 28-year old Swedish fighter Hermansson (15-3) is fresh off a victory over Alex Nicholson at UFC Fight Night 109 in Stockholm. He needed only two minutes to put Nicholson away via TKO (strikes), in what was his most emphatic win to date.
