In the UFC Vegas 16 main event, we have an intriguing middleweight match-up between Jack Hermansson and Marvin Vettori. ‘The Joker’ has had two previous opponents fall out and is fighting Vettori on very late notice. Who’ll win? Let’s see what the LowKickMMA staff think…
Jordan Ellis: I’m backing Jack Hermansson in this one. I think this is a 50-50 fight on paper but give the edge to ‘The Joker’ for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he has already beaten people who are at a higher level. Secondly, Vettori was supposed to compete at UFC 256 next week and a rushed weight cut could impact him at some point in this five-round fight. I expect Hermansson to ultimaley edge this one out on the judge’s scorecards.
Prediction: Jack Hermansson
Karim Nathan: I was quite surprised to see Vettori being the favourite for this one, Hermansson is the more experienced fighter and I feel they balance out in the grappling department but Hermansson has a slight edge in the stand up. I believe we will see a lot of clinch fighting in this one and will come down to who can get the better in the clinch situations and who can control the other one better. Im going with a Hermansson unanimous decision based on that he was training for 5 rounds and I believe his experience will help him out in this one.
Prediction: Jack Hermansson
Ross Markey: Given the short-notice circumstances surrounding this matchup, it’s hard to separate either Vettori or Hermansson in my opinion. Credit to Hermansson for remaining on this card following fallouts with both Darren Till and Kevin Holland, and credit to Vettori for drafting in on short-notice. I’d have to agree with Karim on this one. It’s quite puzzling how Vettori enters this one as a favourite in most books. He’s certainly able to match the grappling chaps of Hermansson, although the Swede may have the better finishing instincts in some of those possible exchanges. While it’ll certainly prove difficult for Hermansson to put someone like Vettori away on the feet, I’m picking him to score a finish in this one, against a very gritty Vettori.
Prediction: Jack Hermansson
Abhinav Kini: I was also surprised to see Vettori being the betting favorite for this. While he’s a good grappler in his own right, I feel Hermansson is on a slightly higher level and will have success taking him down. If Vettori is able to stop those takedowns, the fight is certainly interesting on the feet and he has a much better chance of winning. That said, I don’t see that happening as I predict a submission win for Hermansson in the first few rounds.
Prediction: Jack Hermansson
Ryan MacCarthy: I was very surprised to see Jack Hermansson as the underdog in the bout. Vettori is really a guy who flies under the radar. I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves, but this this is a very big step up in competition for him. I really like Hermansson in this one. I just feel stylistically he matches up tough and he’s been fighting much higher level competition. I see Hermansson taking this in the 3rd round via submission.

With a win this weekend, Jack Hermansson expects to face Israel Adesanya next. However, he is also open to competing in a number one contender fight.
Hermansson takes on Marvin Vettori in a short-notice middleweight bout that will headline UFC Vegas 15 this weekend. A win would make it six in his last seven for “The Joker” who believes he is more than worthy to get the next crack at Adesanya’s middleweight title.
The problem is Adesanya seems set for a move up to the light heavyweight division for a champion vs. champion clash with Jan Blachowicz in March. Whether he returns to the 185-pound division also remains to be seen.
However, Hermansson believes that will be the case and is willing to wait for “The Last Stylebender” to be his next opponent at middleweight. That said, Hermansson is also open to remaining active and facing either Robert Whittaker or Paulo Costa in the meantime.
“Adesanya looks like he’ll be fighting Jan,” Hermansson told MMA Junkie. “In that case, I want to fight with Adesanya. I feel like he fought Whittaker, he fought Paulo Costa. [Jared] Cannonier is coming from a loss. So I could wait for ‘Izzy’ and give him his next title defense at middleweight after Jan. If the UFC wants me to, I could fight Costa or Whittaker as a contender fight, as well, so I think that’s what’s up for the next year.
“I still feel like the middleweight belt is going to be more precious to Adesanya. Something tells me that he will go down and defend his belt at middleweight. It would be really cool if he managed to do it because I would love to fight him when he’s a double champ and undefeated and all. It would be amazing to fight him at that point, obviously.”
Of course, Hermansson has to get past Vettori first and even then, it isn’t guaranteed that he will get a title shot especially with many believing Whittaker should be next in line.
In the end, whatever happens will happen as Hermansson has always said yes to whatever the UFC has offered his way.
“All the way until this point in my career, I’ve always said just, ‘Yes,’ straight away, no questions,” Hermansson said. “Right now, I feel like I’m in a position where I want the big fights, so when we’re negotiating with the UFC, I’m always trying to push for the biggest fights possible. But in this moment, right now, I just feel like, yeah, bring it. I’m in Vegas. I want to fight. Just make it happen. That’s the most important thing at the moment.
“I’m definitely looking to dominate in this fight. I want to pick him apart as quick as possible and make a quick finish so we can just go home with a victory. That’s the plan.”
Do you think a win on Saturday gives Hermansson the next shot?
