Sherdog<\/a>). \u201cBecause those skills that I have, they were built up from 10 years of practice, not from a camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThis was pretty much what I expected for this fight,\u201d he added. \u201cI was expecting to hit him more than he would hit me, but I know that he was going to throw hard and he caught me a couple of times. It was dangerous in there. I know that I am trickier, more intelligent and more versatile than he is, and I think that is what I showed tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This victory is likely to send Hermansson hurtling up the UFC middleweight rankings \u2014 especially when paired with his recent defeat of former World Series of Fighting champ David Branch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From here, he says his goal is simply to take on another top middleweight and hopefully push himself closer to a middleweight title shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow I am expecting another top name,\u201d he stated. \u201cI want to continue climbing up and get to the title. I have four first-round finishes. I have a win on short notice against one of the top guys in the world and I think that\u2019s enough to put me right there on the top and to be one of the contenders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who do you want to see Jack Hermansson fight next after UFC Fort Lauderdale? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
