UFC’s Roman Dolidze beat Jack Hermansson via TKO in the second round during their middleweight clash at UFC Orlando. “The Caucasian” tied up Hermansson’s right leg before taking his back and unloading on him. This left several fans and fighters in shock as it was an unusual move. Well-known fighters like Charles Oliveira and Aljamain Sterling reacted to the submission and shared their thoughts online.

The Georgian Dolidze had won four out of his last five fights in the UFC. He also took the fight against 34-year-old Hermansson on 12 days’ notice. Hermansson, on the other hand, was 3-2 in his last five, with losses against Marvin Vettori and Sean Strickland.

Swedish-born Hermansson last won in the octagon in July 2022 against Chris Curtis. However, Dolidze did not let “The Joker” make it two in a row at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Holland. He went for a leg-lock before locking up Hermansson’s leg in a calf-slicer. The 34-year-old used the submission to pin Hermansson on the canvas and secure a TKO win.

Despite taking the fight on less than two weeks’ notice, the Georgian got his hand raised. He is now on a four-fight win streak with knockout wins over Kyle Daukaus and Phil Hawes. His win over Hermansson could earn him a spot in the rankings, in addition to making him a name to watch out for in the middleweight division.

Fans on social media reacted to the genius move and the win.

Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira expressed his surprise at Dolidze’s approach. Having a win via calf-slicer himself, ‘Do Bronx‘ expected the same approach from that position from Roman Dolidze.

UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling also gave props to Dolidze for his win.

Dolidze followed up his impressive win with a bold callout of Khamzat Chimaev.

One fan pointed out how Hermansson had tough luck taking fights on short notice.

“First of all, I’m a grappler. World champion grappling, but I can knock people out. I’m a self-made grappler. It’s just natural.” Dolidze said during the post-fight interview.

He then called out Khamzat Chimaev to a middleweight bout. “It’s with all respect, Khamzat [Chimaev] I don’t think will make [170 pounds] anymore. I’m ready for him. I’m here.”
