The UFC is making its first stop in Copenhagen, Denmark at the Royal Arena this Saturday. Headlining the event is a lean in the middleweight division that could have a brand new name challenger emerging as Jack”The Joker” Hermansson collides with Jared”The Killa Gorilla” Cannonier. Hermansson, the Sweden indigenous, is now a -250 favorite with all all the American, Cannonier.
The Joker has not been this big a popular since he fought with Brad Scott in August 2017, a period of five fights — he also won that bout??via first-round knockout. That being said, Hermansson had been favored as an underdog coming from Jacare Souza in April of this year in a few of these, his time that was sole, a fight Hermansson acquired by decision.
This is actually the second time in three fights the Killa Gorilla was an underdog, but he eyes a third consecutive triumph in his division. Cannonier was a slight -125 favored in his very last appearance in May against legend Anderson Silva — that the Killa Gorilla won that float using a first-round TKO following a knee injury for Silva.
Hermansson is a really active fighter who is light on his toes and has fast hands. He combines up his strikes well with long kicks and throws outside his jab to batter against his opponent and put up more heavy strikes. 11 were and five. Together with his pace and precise strikes, competitions will frequently shoot to get a takedown, which usually ends for them as the Joker’s squeeze is degree, particularly his guillotine.
As he used to fight — and knock guys out — in the heavyweight division, cannonier has power. The Killa Gorilla is really a fighter that will march down his opponent but is a counter-striker, throwing or kick. As he stuffs 44% of takedown attempts his takedown defense has been an issue in the past, however on the ground, he does a fantastic job using his power and scrambling ability to have back the fight into the toes.
Avoid the takedowns and he will need to corner Hermansson if Cannonier wants to win this fight. The path of least resistance is to choose the Killa Gorilla and rough him up.
Prediction: Jack Hermansson (-250) through Season
