Hermansson explained his desire to fight with Imavov

Ranked Swedish UFC middleweight Jack Hermansson named the reasons why he challenged the Frenchman Nassurdin Imavova.

“I just look at the rankings and see that I fought the majority of the fighters. Obviously, I cannot now afford to demand promotion after beating an unranked fighter. Now I have to fight someone who is standing next to me in the table. Therefore, I believe that a meeting with Imavov makes the most sense,” Hermansson was quoted as saying by MMA Fighting.

Let us remind you that in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 236 tournament, which took place last weekend in Las Vegas, Hermansson defeated Joe Pifer by unanimous decision. After the fight, the Swede announced his desire to fight Imavov in his homeland.
