The UFC is now making its first stop in Copenhagen, Denmark in the Royal Arena that Saturday night. Headlining the event is a lean at the middleweight division that may have a new title challenger appearing as Jack”The Joker” Hermansson collides with Jared”The Killa Gorilla” Cannonier. The Sweden native, Hermansson, is a favorite with all the American, Cannonier.
The Joker hasn’t been so large a popular because he fought a span of five conflicts, Brad Scott at August 2017 — he won that bout??via knockout. That Hermansson had been preferred as an underdog coming against Jacare Souza in April of this year in a few of those, his time that was only, a struggle Hermansson won by unanimous decision.
This is the second time in 3 middleweight fights that the Killa Gorilla has been an underdog, but he eyes a third straight win in his division. Cannonier was a slight favored in his last appearance in May against legend Anderson Silva — the Killa Gorilla won that bout.
Hermansson is a fighter who has hands that are and is light on his feet. He combines up his strikes with long shouts and always throws outside his jab to batter his opponent and set up strikes that are thicker. 11 were by five and knockout by entry. With his elevated pace and accurate strikes, competitions will shoot to get a takedown, which generally ends poorly for them as the Joker’s squeeze is at level, especially his guillotine.
As he used to struggle — and knock out guys — in the division cannonier has top-level power. The Killa Gorilla is really a fighter who will march down his opponent but is predominantly a counter-striker, throwing everything he’s on each punch or kick. His takedown defense has been an issue from the past because he stuffs 44 percent of takedown attempts, but on the ground, he does a good job with his strength and faking ability to have back the fight to the feet.
If Cannonier would like to win this battle, he will need to corner Hermansson and avoid the takedowns. The route of least resistance to the Joker is to take the Killa Gorilla to the ground and up him.
Prediction: Jack Hermansson (-250) through Season
Curious as of September 24
