Jack Hermansson vs Joe Pyfer Betting Prediction
People love Joe Pyfer but I think he’s going to have a real wake up call here. There is no doubt that Pyfer is a talented fighter, but this is a huge step up in competition. Hermansson is a talented fighter and he really should have won the last fight before Dolidze turned the tide of the fight. Hermansson is the more experienced fighter and he is getting overlooked here. Hermansson is going to use his experience and Pyfer is going to have his welcome to the UFC moment. Back Hermansson on the money line.
