Jack Hermansson already has his sights set on another middleweight if he can get past Joe Pyfer.
Hermansson (23-8 MMA, 10-6 UFC) meets rising contender Pyfer (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 236 main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas (ESPN+).
“The Joker” returns from a 14-month layoff. He most recently was seen in action in a second-round TKO loss against Roman Dolidze in December 2022. Dolidze is coming off a decision loss to Nassourdine Imavov this past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 235 – an opponent Hermansson is eyeing if he beats Pyfer.
