Jared Cannonier was more than ready for his close-up.
In his first chance to headline inside the Octagon, Cannonier made short work of top-5 contender Jack Hermansson at UFC Copenhagen, needing a little more than a round to stop “The Joker” and claim his spot in the rankings. Cannonier, now 3-0 as a middleweight, may be soft-spoken, but he had plenty of folks in the MMA world talking about his performance on Saturday.
Check out the top tweets from Saturday’s UFC Copenhagen main event.
