UFC Fight Night 114 results: Jack Hermansson pounds his way to TKO finish of Brad Scott

For the first minute of his time in the cage with Brad Scott, it looked like Jack Hermansson was avoiding a fight.

But as it turned out, it was just a trap to lure Scott (11-5 MMA, 3-4 UFC) to the canvas, where Hermansson (16-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) quickly advanced position and pounded out a TKO in the opening frame.

The middleweight bout closed out the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 114 event at Mexico City Arena in Mexico. It aired on FS1 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on FS1.

The official time of stoppage was 3:50 of the opening frame as Scott wilted under the strikes of Hermansson, who’d left him few workable options after taking back mount and then transitioning to mount.

Hermansson set up his attack with a little bit of subterfuge, bouncing around and not doing much in the way of engaging. Scott waited around just long enough to lose his patience and inch forward, his fist cocked and ready to fire. The second he did, Hermansson ducked under and got a quick takedown. Momentum shifted quickly.

When a triangle choke from Scott failed, Hermansson used a kimura to advance to mount. Scott couldn’t scramble free, and when he turned to his back, it wasn’t long before a flurry of punches came his way.

Scott was in the midst of escaping when the referee had seen enough and stopped the punishment, bringing another octagon loss in a career that’s seen the Brit alternate wins and losses since his time on “The Ultimate Fighter Smashes.”
