Veteran middleweights Jack Hermansson and Gregory Rodrigues are set to clash at UFC 317. This event is part of the company’s traditional International Fight Week pay-per-view on June 28. MMA Fighting confirmed the matchup after a report by Ag. Fight.
The headlining attraction for the card, held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, remains under wraps. Anticipation builds as fans await the main event reveal.
Hermansson (24-8) returns to the octagon after a 16-month hiatus. His last fight was a unanimous decision win over Joe Pyfer. The Swedish fighter, with an 11-6 record in the UFC, has experienced a rollercoaster of wins and losses since a Jared Cannonier uppercut ended his four-fight streak.
Meanwhile, Rodrigues (16-6) was on a hot streak, defeating Denis Tiuliulin, Brad Tavares, and Christian Leroy Duncan. However, he stumbled in February against Cannonier, losing via fourth-round knockout. The former LFA champ boasts seven wins in ten UFC bouts, with four bonuses and five knockout finishes.
So, what’s next for these fighters? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates and surprises!
