Jack Hermansson spoke with reporters following his win over Gerald Meerschaert at UFC on FOX 31. Highlights are below per MMAjunkie:

On calling out Elias Theodorou and Brad Tavares: “Those are the guys who are ranked. They are good fighters with good records. Well respect and still, I think they are in my reach. I can call out the champ, but I know it’s not realistic that I’m going to get that fight. I think these are two realistic guys I can face.”

On his win over Meerschaert: “I knew that he was a strong grappler, so I expected that he was supposed to be super, super tough. I thought I was going to win by strikes, but I’m always improving.”

on his road to the middleweight title: “I think I can handle them all for sure. I just need to go in there with the right mind and with the right game plan and I think I’m going to give them all a great fight. I think I have the skills to beat them all and beat the champ, as well.”
