Jack Hermansson brought the momentum of Chris Curtis to an end with a convincing victory in the UFC Fight Night 208 co-headliner.
Hermansson (23-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) bounced back from a February loss to Sean Strickland on Saturday as he managed to outstrike Curtis (29-9 MMA, 3-1 UFC) over the course of three rounds for a unanimous decision win by scores of 29-28, 29-28 and 30-27. The middleweight bout was the UFC Fight Night 208 co-main event at The O2 in London.
The first round was largely a feeling-out process.
Curtis, for his part, lost in the UFC for the first time, and he was not happy about it.
