Stepping in as a replacement for Yoel Romero, Jack Hermansson surprised everyone with his striking and more so with his ground game against the former Strikeforce champion and perennial UFC title contender Ronaldo Souza. Hermansson landed more than 400 strikes and 9 take down attempts in his five round war with Jacare. Hermansson’s confidence to hang in with a 6th-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the ground comes from his pair of submission and devastating ground-and-pound wins. Jacare edged in the third round when Hermansson significantly slowed down, but the Norwegian had second wind in the next round. Jacare managed to do some damage in the fifth round, but it was not enough in the judges score card. Hermansson now extends his record to 20-4 and 7-2 record in the UFC.
