Hermansson last fought at UFC on ESPN 2, where he submitted former World Series of Fighting two-division titlist David Branch with a guillotine choke in just 49 seconds. “The Joker” has won five of his last six UFC bouts, finishing all of his wins inside the distance – including four in the opening round.
A former Strikeforce champion, Souza is coming off a third-round knockout of Chris Weidman this past November. The 39-year-old “Jacare” is 9-3 during his promotional tenure, with other notable wins coming against Gegard Mousasi, Vitor Belfort, Derek Brunson and Yushin Okami.
