Jack Hermansson is happy to fight Gregory Rodrigues
“Quite familiar, obviously having that Cannonier fight pretty fresh in my mind. The first thing I’m thinking about is a big, strong dude, solid grappling experience, and a hard puncher,” Hermansson said. “I’m quite familiar with his style and who he is… I didn’t expect any in the rankings, but I had hoped for it.
“My last fight, which was canceled, was with Brendan Allen, so I was hoping for that fight,” Hermansson added. “I got another (fight offer), but I can’t remember who he was, and that’s not a good thing. I got another offer from somebody I barely knew, and I asked them for someone more people would recognize, and they came up with Gregory. I’m quite happy with it.”
Hermansson says he is happy because Rodrigues has a name, and he knows a win would put him back in the picture at middleweight. But, more so, Hermansson is confident that he matches up well and can get a statement win.
“I think I match up well. I think I’m going to be the quicker fighter and keep a high pace. Just wear him down and look for the finish,” Hermansson said.
Should Jack Hermansson win, he says he expects to get a top-10 opponent next.
