Jack Shore Envisions Finish of ‘Dangerous’ Nohelin Hernandez at UFC Copenhagen

Jack Shore is set to make his Octagon debut on Saturday against Nohelin Hernandez at UFC Fight Night 160 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Welsh fighter was confident he would get the call to the Las Vegas-based promotion after winning and defending the Cage Warriors bantamweight title.

“Obviously, you have seen it with a lot of fighters. Once you win the Cage Warriors title and defend it once or twice you get signed,” Shore said to Sherdog.com. “When I defended it the last time there was nothing left as I cleared out the division so I was hopeful the UFC would be the next step. I was pretty confident that after that fight they would come calling.”

Although it is Shore making his UFC debut, he is confident that he will be well-prepared for his upcoming matchup with Hernandez.

“I match up well. He has a very good skillset, well-rounded. I just think I am slightly better at every aspect. It is a dangerous fight. He brings a lot to the table, but I am confident in my abilities. It is going to be a tough fight,” he explained. "I just see me being better. I have that experience, and am more used to performing under the brighter lights. The last couple of fights in Cage Warriors were big arena shows. I can see myself getting a finish but it will be tough, but I may break him.”
