UFC middleweight contender Jack Hermansson has issued a classy statement after submitting Kelvin Gastelum at UFC on ESPN+30 last weekend.

Hermansson battled Gastelum in the card’s co-main event, and with massive implications for the middleweight top-10 on the line.The Swedish-Norwegian ended up picking up one of his biggest wins to date, tapping Gastelum with a heel hook just over a minute into the first round.

Post-fight, Hermansson issued a classy statement on Instagram, thanking his supporters, his team, and even his vanquished foe.

See it below:

“What a incredible journey the last 10 days has been,” Hermansson wrote. “The story of my life is a exciting one. But this chapter of the story stretches way further back then 10 days. I have been in fightcamp since mars. There has been ups and downs. But the result is the desired one. Victory. I dedicate this victory to my coaches, teammates, family, friends and fans. From the bottom of my heart I thank you for all the time and effort you gave me to get better. For having my back and supporting my dream. Thank you!

“I also wanna thank my opponent @kgastelum for sharing the cage with me,” Hermansson added, addressing his foe. “You are a true warrior, and a great person. I wish you the best.”

This huge victory over Gastelum distanced Jack Hermansson from a tough TKO loss to surging American contender Jared Cannonier, and reasserted him as one of the top contenders in the middleweight division.
