UFC Vegas 47’s Jack Hermansson: I need just one takedown to finish Israel Adesanya

Jack Hermansson isn’t overlooking Sean Strickland at UFC Fight Night 200, but the No. 6-ranked middleweight believes he is destined to dethrone Israel Adesanya and become the new middleweight king.

‘The Joker’ believes his grappling sets him apart from the rest of the division and is confident he would need just one takedown to finish ‘The Last Stylebender’ on the ground.

“Definitely, I see myself, without a doubt the best grappler in this division and that is why I’m also the biggest threat to Adesanya. I’m the person that is going to dethrone him,” Hermansson told BJPenn.
