Jack Hermansson has offered an apology to Chris Curtis following their UFC London showdown.<\/p>\n

The bout went the distance and in the end, it was Hermansson who won the fight via unanimous decision<\/a>. There was a lot of jaw-jacking throughout the bout, mostly on Curtis’ end.<\/p>\n

There was a moment where Hermansson fired back with his own verbal jousting but he’s regretting losing his cool.<\/p>\n

During the UFC London post-fight press conference, Jack Hermansson detailed Chris Curtis’ frustration throughout their encounter (via MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he got frustrated with me moving, moving, moving. I just try to stay disciplined and stick to my plan,\u201d Hermansson told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. \u201cI could see the frustration in him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Hermansson went on to apologize to Curtis for something he said during the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t remember but he was like taunting me,\u201d Hermansson said. \u201cThen, something slipped from my tongue. I\u2019m a little bit disappointed with myself there that I got caught up in that because I\u2019m all about sportsmanship. I want the sport to be clean and after the fight, we should be good friends. I really apologize to Chris Curtis for that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Hermansson is hoping to get a decent name in the middleweight division for his next outing. He has two competitors in mind.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c\u2026 I would love to fight somebody (new). I\u2019ve fought a lot of guys already inside those rankings, so somebody I haven\u2019t fought. You\u2019ve got Paulo Costa, Robert Whittaker \u2013 two names I haven\u2019t fought.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The win over Curtis was a good rebound victory for Hermansson. He was coming off a split decision loss to Sean Strickland back in February.<\/p>\n
