Jack Hermansson (born June 10, 1988) is a Swedish mixed martial artist currently living in and fighting out of Norway. He competes in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is the former champion in Cage Warriors and Warrior Fight Series. In 2012-2013 he fought in the United States in the Bellator MMA promotion. On the European circuit he held notable victories over UFC veteran Karlos Vemola and Bellator veteran Norman Paraisy among others. As of November, 2015 he’s ranked # 9 on the European MMA Middleweight rankings.
Hermansson started his martial arts career as a wrestler in 1997, at age 9. He transitioned to mixed martial arts in 2008. He turned professional in 2010 and racked up a 5-0 record, all stoppages (4 KO’s, 1 submission), in little over a year. In his first fight he won the title in the East Cost Fight Factory organisation by a one punch knockout in the third round. Two of the other victories, both by knockout, came in British top promotion Cage Warriors.
After his early career success, Hermansson was signed by American promotion Bellator MMA in 2012.
Hermansson made his promotional debut against Daniel Vizcaya on December 14, 2012 at Bellator 84. He lost the back-and-forth fight by split decision.
Hermansson next fought Jason Butcher on March 21, 2013 at Bellator 93. He lost the fight by submission due to a triangle choke. This would mark the last fight for Hermansson in the promotion.
After two fights overseas, Hermansson returned to Europe and Cage Warriors.
Hermansson's first outing came against Enoc Solves Torres on March 22, 2014 at Cage Warriors 66. He won the fight by TKO in the third round.
Less than a month later Hermansson took on Ion Pascu on April 18, 2014 at Cage Warriors: Fight Night 11. He won by unanimous decision, the first decision victory of his career.
