After being a fixture in the UFC’s middleweight division for nearly a decade, Jack Hermansson is moving down to welterweight.

Recently, the 37-year-old confirmed he is booked for a welterweight fight with Myktybek Orolbai. The fight will be part of the UFC’s November 22nd card in Qatar.

Hermansson confirmed the match-up following a report from Real Kevin K.

Orolbai (14-2-1), who is coming off a submission win over Tofiq Musayev in June, will be moving up from lightweight. The 27-year-old is 4 and 1 in his last 5 contests.

Hermannson (24-9) is looking to get back on track after he was knocked out by Gregory Rodrigues in June. The former, longtime contender, is 2 and 3 in his last 5 fights.
