Quick read
Jack Hermansson is changing weight classes for the first time in his 33-fight professional career, moving down from middleweight to welterweight ahead of UFC Qatar. In a UFC.com feature published in early June 2026, Hermansson discusses the challenges and excitement of testing himself in a new division. He is set to debut at 170 pounds against rising contender Myktybek Orolbai on the main card of the promotion’s inaugural event in Qatar. The move matters because it could revitalize his UFC run and reshape his place in the welterweight landscape.
