Hermansson made an aggressive UFC arrival across 2016 and 2017, scoring stoppage victories over Scott Askham in Hamburg, Alex Nicholson in Stockholm, and Bradley Scott in Mexico City with ground-and-pound, despite dropping bouts to Cezar Ferreira and Thiago Santos. His Greco-Roman wrestling base, pace, and top strikes are reflected in an 78 Boxing and 82 Wrestling.
Hermansson authored a four-fight surge between 2018 and 2019, submitting Thales Leites with a broken rib, submitting Gerald Meerschaert with a guillotine, submitting David Branch in 49 seconds, and dominating former champion Ronaldo Souza over five rounds in Fort Lauderdale. His pace, takedowns, and front choke threats are reflected in an 80 Boxing and 84 Wrestling.
In July 2020 on Fight Island, Hermansson submitted Kelvin Gastelum with a first-round heel hook in just 78 seconds, followed by a decision victory over Edmen Shahbazyan at UFC 262 in Houston and competitive five-round battles with Marvin Vettori and Sean Strickland. His submission grappling, top rides, and pace anchor his 79 Boxing and 83 Wrestling.
Hermansson out-pointed Chris Curtis in London in 2022 before returning from an injury layoff in February 2024 in Las Vegas, putting on a four-round performance to defeat rising prospect Joe Pyfer by unanimous decision. His striking combinations, takedown defense, and fight intelligence maintain his 78 Boxing and 82 Wrestling.
