Before his bout against the #9 ranked opponent, Hermansson spoke to MMAFighting’s Eurobash podcast and when asked about Darren Till’s move up to the division, he gave an honest response, revealing that Till’s upcoming opponent Kelvin Gastelum may be too tough a position for the Liverpool-based UFC superstar.
“Darren is putting himself in a tough position”
Darren Till is all set to face #4 ranked contender Kelvin Gastelum in his middleweight debut in the co-main event of UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden. Hermansson, knowing all too well of Gastelum’s strengths, opened up to MMAFighting about Till’s chances at UFC 244
He elaborated, stating that Till should have fought another guy out of the top ten and that stylistically, this match-up doesn’t favor him:
Hermansson lobbied for a fight against Gastelum after his win over Jacare Souza. If both he and Gastelum win their upcoming bouts, common sense would state that the winner of that fight could be next in line for a title shot after Paulo Costa.
