STOCKHOLM – Jack Hermansson wasted little time getting Alex Nicholson to the mat, and once there he made a beeline for the finish.

After seizing back control early in the opening round, Hermansson (15-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) rained down punches as he flattened Nicholson (7-4 MMA, 1-3 UFC) out, quickly forcing referee Bobby Rehman to step in and call it off at the 2:00 mark of Round 1.

The middleweight fight opened today’s UFC Fight Night 109 main card at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. It aired on FS1 following prelims on UFC Fight Pass and FS1.

Hermansson’s path to victory opened up in the first minute of this fight, when he seized an opportunity to take Nicholson down with ease. After escaping Nicholson’s attempt at a guillotine choke off the takedown, Hermansson quickly went to work with his grappling game, moving to side control and then taking Nicholson’s back.

From there, it was all bad news for Nicholson, as Hermansson flattened him out, belly-down on the mat, as Hermansson hammered away at the openings in his defenses, keeping up a steady offensive output as the referee Rehman moved in for a closer look. While Nicholson never appeared to lose consciousness, neither could he stop the onslaught of Hermansson or improve his position, which eventually forced the TKO stoppage just two minutes into the bout.

With the victory, Hermansson has now won two of his last three in the UFC. Nicholson has lost two straight, and three of his last four.
