UFC Copenhagen: Preview, pro picks, and interviews
Middleweight contender Jack Hermansson will put his four-fight win streak on the line against Jared Cannonier on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 160 in Copenhagen, Denmark at Royal Arena.
Hermansson (20-4) is coming off a dominant decision victory over Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza in the main event of UFC Fight Night 150. "The Joker" has won five of his nine UFC fights by stoppage.
Cannonier (12-4) strung together his first two-fight win streak since December 2016 after he defeated former UFC champion Anderson Silva at UFC 237 in May. Saturday will mark the MMA Lab product's third straight bout at 185 pounds after previously competing at light heavyweight and heavyweight.
The co-main event features the UFC debut of Olympic silver medalist Mark Madsen, who battles Danilo Belluardo in a lightweight bout.
Madsen (8-0) has finished five of his eight career opponents and has fought six times since the start of last year. Belluardo (12-4) fell short in his own debut in the Octagon, suffering a second-round TKO loss to Joel Alvarez at UFC Fight Night 153 in June.
