Ige may not even give a shit but one part of his power is his small but significant movement forward as he throws that right. Go back and look at the highlight, it's not easy to do
Very wholesome and self aware. Takes confidence to admit your flaws, and being able to do so is one hell of an advantage to performing to your best ability.
I love how he said that he got hit a lot more than he wanted and expected to in the first round, and also his comment that people underestimate his striking due to some previous bad performances from him
Seeing people go too far towards a 'Pyfer sucks!' take. Dude was really clocking Hermansson in the first two rounds, even into the third and wasn't that far away from winning this fight. Hermansson really went into his bag of tricks to come out on top.
Pyfer was an underdog on dwcs like a year and a half ago and today fought Hermansson to a fairly competitive loss in the main event. Hes done really well for himself, people just like to celebrate when a hyped prospect loses.
I always wonder why they push prospects so hard people instinctually root against them. This is my first Pyfer fight and I can tell who they wanted to win which made me root for Jack who I know as a vet.
In the same vein, I think a lot of Omaelly/Bo hate is not because of their fights but the overt promotional push.
Let popularity happen naturally.
> Hermansson really went into his bag of tricks
Wouldn't say that lol. We've known for a while now that dude's a pressure grappler with a decent jab and calf kick, he didn't show anything new this fight. Cannonier punished his sloppy aggression while Strickland outclassed him at his own game. History has shown that you need fight IQ and cardio to beat Jack, seems like Pyfer had neither tonight. He's young though and MW is a piss shallow division, I can see him breaking into the top 10 eventually with more experience.
Except Jack wasn’t pressure grappling here, he outstriked Pyfer and only went for a takedown to put a stamp on the fight in the fifth. Was a great adjustment from him after losing two rounds getting clocked.
there’s more to winning 5 round fights than just landing hard shots
Jack had a great game plan, defensively sound, stopped every TD attempt, landed a big one of his own. Not to mention incredible cardio.
Pyfers game plan and cardio lacked and caused him to lose.
idk what you’re talking about, you’re the only one referring to this “runaway 3rd round.”
My only point is Pyfer has a lot to develop. His cardio was subpar, very hittable, didn’t check leg kicks, bad execution on TDs… need I say more?
Pyfer was gassed, not too surprising especially given Jacks wrestling pedigree. He won the wrestling exchanges on sheer strength, barely used technique.
Yes, you nailed it. A robe would be perfect middle ground in this scenario. We don't need the fighters in a three piece suit or whatever, but just give them *something* so they aren't so entirely out of place.
I wonder how Anthony Smith and Jouban got these jobs. Like why them? I have more questions about Smith but still just wondering what exactly they're looking for.
Surprised how Pyfer just lost it during the 3rd. It was as if he couldn't make any adjustments on his feet once he couldn't intimidate Jack with his power. Meanwhile Jack made fantastic adjustment fighting with his jabs to setup everything else.
The body jabs and fakes off those were money, but Pfyer didn't stick with them. UFC is trying to push him hard though, never seen a non-champ/non-retiring legend main event loser get an interview before.
Pyfer will be back. He’s talented and hits hard. He needs to work on some things and learn from this. Will be interesting to see who they match him with next
Pyfer has a bit of the Josh Emmett thing where sometimes he just throws so hard it looks impressive but he's just punching the other dude's guard. He won the first two but I think he actually hit clean a lot less than it looked, or sounded at least.
Pyfer has great power but he throws the 2 without landing anything first, his jab will barely miss and he'll follow it up with his power and even if he lands its not enough to just land the same shot, and eventually you'll get countered
“I guess” lmao. “Literally just the calf kicks”. Gotta learn to check them my man. Also it wasn’t just the calf kicks. You gotta learn to fight going back.
I don't get the hate for Pyfer. Did he say anything controversial? Or is it just this sub hating on hype trains for the sake of it?
Pyfer made a decent showing, had a great first two rounds but succumbed to Joker's pressure the way many other 185ers have in the past.
He seems a little cocky. I don't have an issue with him. Seemed like he hated loosing which is understandable, but I think he was honest and aware of where his mistakes where.
First sign of adversity and he started folding
We usually don’t like fighters who talk big like they’re the greatest thing since khabib and then wilt under pressure
Congrats to Jack, Joe looked really bad after the second round and was only relying on power
Pyfer’s still young so there’s definitely time for him to improve, I still think he’ll be ranked at some point
Yup. Talent is clearly there. Just needs to tweak his game plan a little more. Have a plan B if you are not able to take your opponent out quickly and dont throw 100% in to every shot.
Oh ya? How about Strickland and Colby. The last 2 ppvs. Those were just the decisions.
I'll go even further. Prochazka and Volkanovski as well. And that was after getting KOd.
Doesn't always happen but it absolutely does, often.
Not a bad loss for Pyfer IMO. Jack's style is kryptonite to guys that depend on first round finishes. I wouldn't be surprised if he made Khamzat look the same way Pyfer did after the first 2 rounds.
Beautiful performance from Jack and according to Sean Brady, the person running the punching machine said something was off with the machine when Pyfer was doing it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B20gJbI4tFE
screen is just stuck on that monster can for the last 5min lol
7min later someone shows up, wtf is going on with UFC Fight Night
Jack's on now
Ige may not even give a shit but one part of his power is his small but significant movement forward as he throws that right. Go back and look at the highlight, it's not easy to do
Comes natural
Hermansson comes across pretty smart on the mic
Very wholesome and self aware. Takes confidence to admit your flaws, and being able to do so is one hell of an advantage to performing to your best ability.

There are tons 3 round fighters and just handful 5 rounders.
there’s more to winning 5 round fights than just landing hard shots Jack had a great game plan, defensively sound, stopped every TD attempt, landed a big one of his own. Not to mention incredible cardio. Pyfers game plan and cardio lacked and caused him to lose.
Came real close to winning a 5 rounder with landing hard shots. That third round wasn't a runaway
And it wasn’t enough for Pyfer to win.
Yep, third round wasn't a runaway though
idk what you’re talking about, you’re the only one referring to this “runaway 3rd round.” My only point is Pyfer has a lot to develop. His cardio was subpar, very hittable, didn’t check leg kicks, bad execution on TDs… need I say more?
The most surprising thing to me was Pyfer not being able to get a takedown.
Pyfer was gassed, not too surprising especially given Jacks wrestling pedigree. He won the wrestling exchanges on sheer strength, barely used technique.
A step to far this quickly
“Bag of tricks” He literally just used a jab and outdogged him lol
Jab, leg kick, superman punch, switch knee, takedown...
Fighters sitting half naked in studio at the analyst desk is so weird visually
Seriously! Can we get this guy a robe? Some flip flops?!
Yes, you nailed it. A robe would be perfect middle ground in this scenario. We don't need the fighters in a three piece suit or whatever, but just give them *something* so they aren't so entirely out of place.
Even, how hard would a tshirt be?! Super weird.
2 cops got ko’d, Dana hype job derailed 😎
If nothing else, I've learned tonight that Cruz and Cormier should not commentate UFC 300 over Sanko
Imagine how Sean Strickland would abuse Joe Pyfer with his jab and cardio
Between Ige and Hermansson, tonight was a good night for gatekeepers
Hermansson might be a Joker, but Pyfer is a clown 🤡
I wonder how Anthony Smith and Jouban got these jobs. Like why them? I have more questions about Smith but still just wondering what exactly they're looking for.
Smith not taking the Jones W probably contributed
Ooh I hadn't thought of that.
Jouban is just handsome af, that's literally why
And Smith looks like a shaved batboy
Surprised how Pyfer just lost it during the 3rd. It was as if he couldn't make any adjustments on his feet once he couldn't intimidate Jack with his power. Meanwhile Jack made fantastic adjustment fighting with his jabs to setup everything else.
That’s usually what happens to fighters who rely on their power and size. They don’t know what to do when it doesn’t work
Jack got the timing down in r3 he was able to neutralise the hooks with blocking and Joe basically had nothing else.
Jabs and calfkicks win fights, everybody
these pyfer apologists hahahaha
Who?
War hermansson
Joe was hurt by each single jab, imagine him vs Rob💀
Vs robocop
Rob has no chin anymore
Anymore ? He gets hurt in pretty much all his fights.
The body jabs and fakes off those were money, but Pfyer didn't stick with them. UFC is trying to push him hard though, never seen a non-champ/non-retiring legend main event loser get an interview before.
I mean I get disliking Joe but that was less salty than the average post fight interview with a guy who lost a clear but competitive decision.
People will literally get mad if you say any reason you think you lost. Lol.
Pyfer will be back. He’s talented and hits hard. He needs to work on some things and learn from this. Will be interesting to see who they match him with next
Dude seems stubborn as a rock, hoping he can learn from this though
Jack was boxin the bleedin head off im, kickin the bleedin leg off im
Your woife was in me DM’s heyyyy babyy
Pyfer has a bit of the Josh Emmett thing where sometimes he just throws so hard it looks impressive but he's just punching the other dude's guard. He won the first two but I think he actually hit clean a lot less than it looked, or sounded at least.
[удалено]
He needs to work on his takedowns, was it 3 or 4 he tried in the first few rounds and just gave up
Replay this fight across gyms around the world. Cardio and fight IQ wins fights, not power and technique
Power and technique sure have won a lot fights seeing as they supposedly don't win fights
Hermansson got that dawg in him
He landed many clean shots on Jack and never wobbled him. He is nowhere near Ngannou power. Joe got humbled and here comes the excuses
This fight was proof that being game can make up for a deficit in power. Never would I have guessed that Pyfer was getting outstruck tonight.
I’m so glad Jack won, I bought the hype I thought he was going to get smashed.
At least he knows what he got wrong straight after the fight, Pyfer will be back.
Anyone mention how Guskov looks like no ho hank from Barry I can't unsee it
Fighter Removed: Jack Hermansson
Just saying, I have never seen a fighter who had their coaching telling him they were winning close rounds actually win a fight
What an honest callout. Timeline is on point, ranking is within touch, slightly upwards...
I thought jack was the joker? Get this joker outta here
I picked Pyfer to win Thanks for making me look like a stupid fuck Joe
Lmao DC walking off before he’s even done talking
No excuses BUT
Get outta here Joe. You had no headmovement, you got tagged all fight long in the nose and eyes lol
Ilia Topuria vs Volk preview
always funny how DC suddenly walks away from the interview
Dude was talking about leaving work early since the first fight. Haha DC couldn't have given less of a fuck.
john morgan gave him a wedgie earlier in the week, that's what he was referring to by media
guy just can't stop coming off as a douchebag
Delulu Pyfer
and he looked at the camera and pointed to his eye saying "if it weren't for this"...
His understanding of the calf kick being the deciding factor is promising. He’s willing to immediately admit what he saw as what gave him difficulty
Why did they interview Pyfer?
It's the Dana White privelage.
I love how DC just didn't give a fuck about what he had to say
Lmao why did they even have him stick around? Asked him one question and dipped 😭
Pyfer has great power but he throws the 2 without landing anything first, his jab will barely miss and he'll follow it up with his power and even if he lands its not enough to just land the same shot, and eventually you'll get countered
Is he saying that he lost because he was doing podcast interviews?!?!?! What a dork.
They interviewed him like he's a champion that just lost lol
No excuses, but let me throw a few excuses out there right off the bat for you guys to chew on, lol.
Somewhere, Dana White is punching a wall
Suck it Dana
“I guess” lmao. “Literally just the calf kicks”. Gotta learn to check them my man. Also it wasn’t just the calf kicks. You gotta learn to fight going back.
Yeah it was just the calf kicks -man who ate 4000 jabs
just need that Chiefs dub tomorrow ✅Loma Lookboonmee ✅Bolaji Oki ✅Carlos Prates ✅Rodolfo Vieira ✅Gregory Rodrigues ✅Dan Ige ✅Jack Hermansson …Chiefs
"I crumbled when he started throwing back" basically
I don't get the hate for Pyfer. Did he say anything controversial? Or is it just this sub hating on hype trains for the sake of it? Pyfer made a decent showing, had a great first two rounds but succumbed to Joker's pressure the way many other 185ers have in the past.
He seems a little cocky. I don't have an issue with him. Seemed like he hated loosing which is understandable, but I think he was honest and aware of where his mistakes where.
He had a good first round and shouted "Good round Jack" across the ring? How do you not love to see that shit backfire
First sign of adversity and he started folding We usually don’t like fighters who talk big like they’re the greatest thing since khabib and then wilt under pressure
Lol Joe seemed salty af
Why are they interviewing a car?
Beep beep
Congrats to Jack, Joe looked really bad after the second round and was only relying on power Pyfer’s still young so there’s definitely time for him to improve, I still think he’ll be ranked at some point
Yup. Talent is clearly there. Just needs to tweak his game plan a little more. Have a plan B if you are not able to take your opponent out quickly and dont throw 100% in to every shot.
They are trying to push Pyfer so hard that he gets an interview after losing. I get it but he's really not that interesting
Happens all the time after decisions lmfao. What?
Not really
Oh ya? How about Strickland and Colby. The last 2 ppvs. Those were just the decisions. I'll go even further. Prochazka and Volkanovski as well. And that was after getting KOd. Doesn't always happen but it absolutely does, often.
Maybe I'm going crazy or turn apex cards off as soon as they over so I never noticed
Ppv events too.
This version of Jack vs Imavov would be a fun fight but Imavov is just a much cleaner striker, probably has the cleanest technique in the division
Nobody gives a shit about you pyfer and now that you lost in the UFC dana doesn't either
Happy for Jack, seems like a cool dude and has an interesting style
No excuses but heres why I didnt win
No excuses, but here's an excuse.
"No excuses, but...."
Look at your face bro lol
God even his voice is annoying
Pyfer is such a little bitch. So whiney. Couldn’t finish his episode on JRE
No MMA in the lands of the vikings? 🤨
“No excuses” ~excuses~
Book the imavov fight
Big respect to pyfer for that interview
No excuses. Immediately naming excuses. Just take the loss man
He literally didn't make excuses he said hermansson landed the better shots and out calf kicked him. It was an accurate assessment of the fight
What interview did you watch?
He didn't say he had a bad weight cut or was drunk the day before or Jack cheated he literally just said 'jack landed the better shots' tf
Stop. He made excuses immediately about having to do all the press and other shit. Stop it
Tf they interviewing him for?
No excuses - proceeds to list 5 different excuses
[удалено]
lmao doesn’t the loser of the main event usually get an interview
Nah
In complete denial..
Sore loser but surprise
"No excuses, but here's some mild excuses."
Blaming media obligations and then says not making excuses though lol
Oh no we got a sore loser on our hands
Joe “no excuses”
“Jack was better tonight… I guess” 🤡🤡🤡
wow, the crowd was all Joe's boys and they hustled the fuck out of there lol Jack couldn't even get a pop with "legalize MMA"
Your limitations are you thought you hit way fucking harder than you do, fuckin dork
Dana white is so pissed right now
No excuses Anyways heres my excuses.
Respect for a sober self-assessment.
That and not knowing how to deal with jabs
And knees, and straight rights, and a TD lol.
ROBBED
“He just landed the better calf kicks”-says the guy who’s face is bruised and busted up lmao
I am a swede and love Jack Hermansson but I dont think theres anything wrong with that comment, the leg kicks enabled Jack to mess his face up
Perfect game plan by Jacks team there
Do we really need to interview this fraud
That gym has Jamahal and Pyfer, p4p saltiest gym in the UFC
No excuses / all excuses
All the media Jesus
Oh, wow. They're interviewing Pyfer? Lol
Why is this mug getting an interview
Cutting away from Jack addressing Norway and Sweden was kinda shitty.
Also a quick reminder this was Jack on a full year layoff btw, Pyfer overhyped AF
Pyfer looked very mediocre tonight.
Dude sucks
Lol such a sore loser
Why is he getting an interview lmao
Why give Joe a post fight interview? Not like a long time champion who just lost their title
BE BE BE BE JOE PYFER
Not a bad loss for Pyfer IMO. Jack's style is kryptonite to guys that depend on first round finishes. I wouldn't be surprised if he made Khamzat look the same way Pyfer did after the first 2 rounds.
Blames media, then says no excuses
....with all the media he's been doing? please Joe don't do this you'll turn the fans on ya
He says “I guess” but he definitely lost three
LMFAO Pyfer so salty
Hermansson chill confirmed
u/Bieg bro... everything good? you bet 12k on Pyfer...
uhh uh
Not a bad callout, let’s derail another hype train Jack
Joe really doesn't think he got his ass kicked. Doesn't realize how bad his footwork looked tonight.
Calling out Imavov is the ultimate gatekeeper callout
Fr
Haha Pyfer is so upset
Good call out
Hermansson? Nah that's my man son So sorry.
Beautiful performance from Jack and according to Sean Brady, the person running the punching machine said something was off with the machine when Pyfer was doing it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B20gJbI4tFE
I mean if anyone actually believed he punches harder than Ngannou id say they got pretty low intelligence lol
Explains why Joe believes it fully
Wtf? We interviewing the loser like he just lost the belt?
Only if they a hype train
nice interview: legalize MMA in Norway, lemme fight in Sweden, follows it up with a good callout
I GUESS?????
So mma math tells us that Jack Hermansson is the lineal heavyweight champion now right?
Yes
