Media Derek Brunson: 'Jack Hermansson is My Main Target'

[Inverse]

Seventh-ranked UFC middleweight Derek Brunson explains why he hopes for fresh competition after his win over Edmen Shahbazyan. And why Jack Hermansson would be his most preferred next opponent.

 

[Kyd Blake]

He could easily KTFO Hermmanson. I wouldn't bet on it though cus Jack is legit and is probably improving his stand-up.

 

[13Seconds]

Yeah would make sense

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

Bold call out, Hermansson is no joke. I'd be down.

 

[puppybird]

The winner fights for next number one contender spot

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

Makes sense, thats a good match up. Happy to see brunson knowing where he's at in the ranking and this is not me shitting in the guy. Its really good to see fighters making realistic ranking wise callouts.

 

[Croton]

Brunson is a pretty bad match style wise. He has good hands with power, good cardio and 100% takedown defense. Unless he makes a mistake like kelvin and takes hermansson down he should be able to win a decision/ko standing.

Are we talking about the same guy that was starched by Jacare's basic stand up....twice? Hermansson might look awkward, but he's the better striker of the two. Brunson is the more powerful puncher though for sure. I'd like to see how it plays out between them

his nickname is the joker

Ba tum tss

 

[DLX]

That's a pretty good next fight for him, tbh.

 

[The Legendary Scarface]

Not a bad matchup for Brunson

 

[winkydinks]

Herm's going to be gunning for Whittaker next (whether he wins or loses versus Cannonier). Doubt he'd take this fight unless he's promised a title shot if he wins it.

 

[Franklin U.]

This is where the run ends for Brunson.

 

[A Pictogram]

imo Brunson should keep fight those ranked lower down. Everytime he has been given the opportunity he has choked mentally. Whittaker, Adesanya, Jacare, it will just be the same outcome this time around. Brunson can fight Vettori or winner Hall / Romero

 

[Substance Abuse]

That's a dangerous fight and I think Brunson might pay for taking it but he isn't getting any younger. I understand him asking for it.

 

[Deceasedxo]

Interesting and realistic call out.

 

[Ace70 V2]

Joker gets knocked around and loses I think

 

[Juan Bombadil]

Jack will shutdown Derrick ‘Gaethje’ Brunson’s run

Brunson is gonna pull a Cannonier on Jackie

Jack is gonna tire himself out going for takedowns that are gonna get stuffed.

Prediction: Brunson by TKO R3




Brunson Bless
Khabib Bless

Hard fight for Joker.
