UFC middleweight contender Jack Hermansson has signed a six-fight extension with the promotion.

The news was announced by his management team Paradigm.

“Congratulations to Jack Hermansson (@jackthejokermma) on signing a new 6-fight contract extension with the UFC. We look forward to seeing the run towards the title! ?”

According to Norwegian publication VG (h/t Reddit), Hermansson originally had one fight remaining on his deal. However, he will now kick off his new deal with a fight this fall. That fight will be the headliner for UFC Copenhagen on September 28 where “The Joker” is expected to meet Jared Cannonier. However, it is not official as of yet.

Hermansson has been on a tear recently with six wins in his last seven fights. The 31-year-old enjoyed the biggest win of his career when he stepped in on short notice to outpoint Jacare Souza in the UFC Fort Lauderdale headliner earlier this year.

Do you expect Hermansson to challenge for the title soon?

Jack Hermansson will be competing at UFC Copenhagen, but it won’t be against Kelvin Gastelum as expected.

According to mixed martial arts (MMA) manager Malki Kawa, his client, Jared Cannonier, will headline the September 28 card against Hermansson:

“Cannonier verbally agrees to fight hermansson in Copenhagen. Excited for this. Good work @LouDiBono“

The show will be the Las Vegas-based promotion’s first from Denmark, which takes place from the Royal Arena. Cannonier comes off a TKO victory over former 185-pound king Anderson Silva at the UFC 237 pay-per-view (PPV).

As for Hermansson, he has been on a role as of late. The 31-year-old “Joker” is on a four-fight win streak over names such as David Branch and Ronaldo Souza. With another impressive victory at 185 pounds, it’ll be hard to deny the Swede a shot at the title.

However, the same could be said for Cannonier, who would be coming off a win over one of the greatest of all time, but also one of the top prospects in the entire promotion if he defeats Hermansson. It will certainly be interesting to see how things play out inside the Octagon between these two.

What do you think about the matchup between Hermansson and Cannonier?

Kelvin Gastelum has received the all clear from doctors to return to fighting action.

The former interim UFC middleweight title challenger took to Twitter and revealed that doctors have cleared him to fight and return to training at 100 percent effort:

“I’m a lil too excited! Lol The Dr. just cleared me to fight and start training 100% After the war I had with stylebender I had to make sure to take time off and make sure when I get cleared, I was physically, brand spankin new. 11 weeks later that day is here!!”

In a follow-up Tweet, Gastelum revealed that he is eying a November return date:

“11 weeks later that day has come and I’m ready to start looking for a return date! And my eyes are set for November. I want to thank you all for the continued support! Let’s continue this mission for gold!”

Finally, in a third Tweet, Gastelum revealed he believes a fight with rising contender Jack Hermansson is the fight to make:

“My time table for my return inside the octagon is November. No doubt about it. @jackthejokermma is the fight to make.”

Hermansson has been on an amazing run as of late. The 31-year-old is currently on a four-fight win streak, and has showcased some tremendous grappling ability. In his last outing, “The Joker” earned a unanimous decision victory over Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in the main event of UFC Florida back in April.

Since, Hermansson has been searching for a notable opponent to get him in the title conversation. Gastelum could certainly be that man. In his last fight, the former “Ultimate Fighter” winner came up short against Israel Adesanya for the interim 185-pound title. A victory over a rising contender in Hermansson could shorten his own road back to the title.

Do you think a fight between Hermansson and Gastelum makes sense at this stage?
