As he's had now facing Sean Strickland. "Obviously people have an opinion about him, and that's always good to get some attention to the fight. So I'm happy with that"

Also talks about how Paulo Costa "never will be able to get down to 185 lbs again, and yet the UFC will probably give him another chance to" and more:

 
To this day, Hermansson grapplefucking Jacare is one of the most shocking thing I've seen in MMA.

Hopefully Hermansson by sub, but it could go either way.

Jacare last couple years was only jacare by name. Lost 5 of 6 and had his arm snapped.
Took to many fights injured and not in proper shape.

I absolutely agree, but the Jacare who fought the Joker was not the brittle old man who fought Muniz two years later. He was definitely out of his prime, but he was still 4-2 in his last six bouts with finish wins over Belfort, Boetsch, Brunson, and Weidman. Remember, Hermansson is the one who initiated his final streak of losses. Hell, even after Jack beat him Souza went up a weight class to lose a very competitive Split Decision against Jan (god that fight was boring as fuck, but Jacare held his own and a lot of people scored it for him).

I guess what I'm saying is that Jacare was definitely a bit shopworn when he fought Jack, but not to the degree where Hermansson dominating him on the feet and the ground and nearly submitting him in the way he did holds no value. Just my two cents.

Also says Khamzat has the strength and punching power of a light heavyweight, dayum.

OT: Sounds like Jack is well prepared for this one. Unless Strickland’s BJJ is as good as some say, I’m taking Jack by sub.
 
Every single of them are boring people who make life boring. That said, I like Jack and not gonna root against him. Followed his career more than Sean's. I just hope it's a good fight.

That was insane to watch for sure. It was hard to believe. When he initiated the grappling I thought he was screwed. Makes the Khamzat wrestling match even more impressive.
 
Strickland can beat Jack, but it won’t be easy. Jack has more heart than just about anyone else in mma.
 
i can't believe so many people hate him? like being an edgelord on social media is still the best troll bait i guess

I didn't find it that shocking, just frustrating. Jacare usually has bad fight IQ while Hermansson has solid fight IQ. At one point in that fight(2nd or 3rd round) Jacare decided to start hitting the body and he had Jack freezing after each connection. But then the round ends and Jacare forgot about the success with those body shots. He also never tried to push his own grappling on Hermansson.
