Jack Hermansson has finished 5 fighters in the UFC over a span of just longer than 3 years. Jack takes the fight to his opponents with an aggressive style that makes for both exhausting and exciting fights. This has resulted in Hermansson quickly climbing the ranks in the UFC’s middleweight division.

Hermansson is extremely strong, especially on the ground where he can grab on to his opponent in order to impose his will. Jack has an extremely smothering top jiujitsu game, and he is often able to take his opponents to the ground, quickly advance to an advantageous position, and brutalize his opponents. Jack frequently utilizes his elbows, hammer fists, and straight punches from a top position and can generate a crazy amount of power in a short distance. Hermansson’s enthusiastic aggression makes his fights fast-paced and fun to watch so with a dance partner like striker Kelvin Gastelum on July 18th fans are expecting a lot more of the same.
