Derek Brunson is Injured, Roman Dolidze will take his place against Jack Hermansson

UFC middleweight fighter Derek Brunson has opted out of his scheduled fight against Jack Hermansson after suffering an undisclosed injury. The UFC quickly announced his replacement, and Roman Dolidze accepted the fight with Hermansson on short notice.

Derek Brunson has an impressive record in MMA, with 23 wins and 8 losses. He has won 14 fights in his UFC career and lost 6. A victory against Jack Hermansson could have got him close to title contention, and he might have become the next challenger to UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira. But, an unfortunate injury came his way.

On the other hand, Roman Dolidze will take this opportunity with both hands. He is one of the top prospects in the middleweight division who is not as experienced as his opponent but has equal resources in his arsenal. Roman Dolidze enters the fight with a three-fight winning streak which he will surely want to extend to move up in the middleweight rankings. In addition, Dolidze has an impressive record in MMA, with 11 wins and just one loss in his career.

Jack Hermansson is one of the brightest stars of the UFC middleweight division who has everything a top star should have. Unfortunately, he could not repeat his previous performances in his recent outings. He lost seven fights in his career, 3 of which came in the past three years. The most unfortunate thing in his career was the cancellation of his fights. In the past two years, five fights of Hermansson were canceled against top names in the middleweight division.

Hermansson is number 8, ranked in the middleweight division. A victory here will take him to any other top name in the division, and if he continues with his success, we can see him in a championship fight soon. It is worth seeing if Roman Dolidze extends his winning streak or if Jack Hermansson takes advantage of his experience to win the battle. We must wait for the December 3 fight night in Orlando for the final result.
