Khamzat Chimaev and Jack Hermansson will meet in a freestyle wrestling match on Nov. 19 in Sweeden, Gothenburg.

Swedish MMA and fighting news outlet Frontkick.online announced the match-up and confirmed the news on social media. Chimaev will fight the Swedish middleweight at Bulldog Fight Night 9 on Nov. 19. As it stands, Hermansson currently has no UFC fight lined up. Meanwhile “Borz” is set for a return later this month on October 30 at UFC 267 in Abu, Dhabi, UAE. The rising UFC star is tasked with battling it out with the #11-ranked Li Jingliang.

Hermansson last fought in late May after besting the rising prospect Edmen Shahbazyan in a unanimous decision victory. Prior to his success, “The Joker” dropped a #1-contender’s bout to Italy’s Marvin Vettori. It appears Hermansson intends to stay sharp while he awaits his next UFC agreement.

“Official poster for the Khamzat Chimaev vs. Jack Hermansson freestyle wrestling match. Bulldog Fight Night 9 will also put on fights in MMA, boxing and Muay Thai with a ring and a cage in the same arena. It all goes down in Gothenburg, Sweden on Nov 19th.” Frontkick.online posted.

Chimaev took the world by storm in 2020 after winning his first three fights in the UFC. In his last fight, Chimaev scored a spectacular one-punch knockout against Gerald Meerschaert in just 17-seconds. Not only did the Russian native manage to finish all three fights in the UFC, but fought thrice in just over two months.

We haven’t gotten to see a lot of Chimaev inside the Octagon. Through the lens of a freestyle wrestling match, fans will get to observe where Chimaev’s cardio stands after a tortuous battle with COVID-19. Interestingly, Chimaev is in camp for a 170-pound contest but will take on a natural 185-pound fighter when he meets Hermansson in Sweeden, Gothenburg.

Who do you think will win the freestyle wrestling match?

Norwegian grappling ace, Jack Hermansson has rebounded to the winner’s enclosure, and thus, handed middleweight upstart, Edmen Shahbazyan his second consecutive loss in the form of an impressive, grappling-heavy unanimous decision victory.

Battling with a bout of COVID-19 forcing him from a UFC 262 clash with Shahbazyan, Hermansson struggled with the striking prowess of the Glendale native in the first round, resulting in a couple of noteworthy wobbles.

Utilising his wrestling and grappling in the second and third frames, Hermansson completely outworked the 23-year-old uber-prospect to take home a unanimous decision victory — picking up a dominant 10-8 third and final round on all three judges’ scorecards.

Below, catch the highlights from Hermansson’s impressive judging victory over Shahbazyan.

Jack Hermansson Edmen Shahbazyan

Fans got a bit of bad news about a highly-anticipated middleweight bout between Jack Hermansson and Edmen Shahbazyan scheduled for UFC 262 this Saturday.

The fight has been pushed back one week for an undisclosed reason after Shahbazyan alluded to the news on his Twitter page on Monday.

“I guess we wait another week… May 22 here we come! Back to Vegas!” Shahbazyan tweeted.

The bout will be reportedly moved to UFC Vegas 27 on May 22nd, which includes the bantamweight main event between Cody Garbrandt and Rob Font. It’s unclear just yet where exactly the new middleweight bout addition will be slated on the card, but it’s sure to boost the interest of fans for yet another stacked UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.

Both Hermansson and Shahbazyan come into the fight with plenty to prove. Hermansson is coming off a tough short-notice loss to Marvin Vettori at UFC Vegas 16, while Shahbazyan hasn’t competed since falling to Derek Brunson in the main event at UFC Vegas 5.

In a recent interview with LowKickMMA, Hermansson spoke about the matchup with Shahbazyan and how excited he was to prove a point in the UFC’s stacked middleweight division.

“He’s a good opponent and a great standup fighter,” Hermansson said. “He’s a good challenge, but on the other hand I believe my style is a good matchup against him. I feel ready to fight.”

For the 23-year-old Shahbazyan, he’ll enter the delayed fight as one of the long-regarded top middleweight prospects in the UFC. He had been on a four-fight winning streak to start his UFC career before the loss to Brunson.

While the news is surely upsetting for both sides of the bout, the anticipation for a very important middleweight fight between Hermansson and Shahbazyan will go unchanged.
