UFC free fight: Jack Hermansson stops Thales Leites with ground-and-pound in enemy territory

Jack Hermansson’s stoppage over Thales Leites remains one of his best wins to date.

The UFC middleweight veteran put away the Brazilian on enemy territory, as he was fighting Leites in Rio de Janeiro at UFC 224, an event that took place in May 2018. Hermansson had to endure some tough moments in the contest, but he eventually mounted Leites and finished him with ground-and-pound

You can watch Hermansson’s TKO victory in the video above.

Hermansson (23-8 MMA, 10-6 UFC) returns to the cage this Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 236, which goes down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He takes on prospect Joe Pyfer (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC).
