Before he was booked against Jared Cannonier in the UFC Copenhagen main event, Jack Hermansson expressed interest in facing Kelvin Gastelum at Madison Square Garden.
Darren Till has now been booked to fight Gastelum at the November New York event, but Hermansson underlined that he holds no ill-will towards the Liverpudlian for getting the bout. However, with Till riding a two-fight losing streak, “The Joker” thinks he’s putting himself in a tough position by debuting in the higher weight class against one of the best middleweights on the UFC’s books.
