“What a incredible journey the last 10 days has been,” Hermansson wrote. “The story of my life is a exciting one. But this chapter of the story stretches way further back then 10 days. I have been in fightcamp since mars. There has been ups and downs. But the result is the desired one. Victory. I dedicate this victory to my coaches, teammates, family, friends and fans. From the bottom of my heart I thank you for all the time and effort you gave me to get better. For having my back and supporting my dream. Thank you!
“I also wanna thank my opponent @kgastelum for sharing the cage with me,” Hermansson added, addressing his foe. “You are a true warrior, and a great person. I wish you the best.”
