The UFC is now making its first quit in Copenhagen, Denmark at the Royal Arena this Saturday night. Headlining the event is a tilt at the middleweight division that may have a new name challenger emerging as Jack”The Joker” Hermansson collides with Jared”The Killa Gorilla” Cannonier. The Sweden native, Hermansson, is now a -250 favorite with all the Cannonier, coming straight back at +195.
The Joker has not been so big a favorite??since he battled with a span of five conflicts, Brad Scott at August 2017 — he even won that float via knockout. That Hermansson was??preferred since an underdog coming against Jacare Souza at April of this year in four of these, his time that was sole, a fight Hermansson won by unanimous decision.
This is the second time in three fights that the Killa Gorilla has been an underdog, but he eyes a third win in his branch. Cannonier was a slight -125 favorite in his final appearance in May against legend Anderson Silva — the Killa Gorilla won that float.
Hermansson is a fighter who has hands that are quick and is light on his feet. He combines up his strikes with long shouts and always throws out his jab to batter his competitor and set up strikes that are heavier. 11 were by submission by five and knockout. With his pace and precise strikes, opponents will often shoot to get a takedown, which often ends badly for them since the Joker’s squeeze is at high degree, particularly his guillotine.
As he used to fight — and knock guys out — at the division cannonier has power for its middleweight division. The Killa Gorilla is really a patient fighter who will march down his competitor but is mainly a counter-striker, throwing what he has on each punch or kick. Because he stuffs 44 percent of takedown efforts his takedown defense has been an issue in the past, however on the floor, he still does a fantastic job using his strength and scrambling ability to get back the fight into the feet.
He’ll have to corner Hermansson and avoid the takedowns if Cannonier would like to win this battle. The route of least resistance to the Joker is to choose the Killa Gorilla and rough him up.
Prediction: Jack Hermansson (-250) via knockout
