Jack Hermansson says a fight between him and Darren Till is in the works for the UFC London main event.

Hermansson (20-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) wants Till (18-2-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) in London on March 21 in a matchup he says the UFC is on board with.

“For me, the fight that makes sense in Europe would be Darren Till because he’s also high ranked, just as me,” Hermansson told MMA Junkie. “He’s pretty fresh in the weight class. I think the fans want to see him against a couple of more (opponents). He had a great performance in his last fight with Kelvin Gastelum, so I think that’s a name that sticks out and a name that I would love to be fighting.

“And to be doing it in Europe, especially in his home country, I think that would be the perfect arena. We’ve been talking to the UFC and they agreed that it could be a good fight over there, so we’ll see what happens. We’re just early in the talks and hopefully we can start a process and make the fight happen.”

Till headlined the UFC’s London event in March and suffered a first-round knockout loss to Jorge Masvidal. But he rebounded with a split decision win over Gastelum at UFC 244 in his middleweight debut and has expressed interest in headlining the upcoming London show against the likes of former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker.

Hermansson saw his four-fight winning streak come to a halt in a second-round TKO loss at the hands of Jared Cannonier in September.

He chalked up the loss to being too predictable and rushing things in the fight.

“When it got closer to the fight, the thoughts in my head were taking over where I wanted to really, really take him down,” Hermansson said. “And that’s always, of course, one of the goals in my fights. But in the preparation that we did for this fight, we knew that he would prepare for that very well. So we were actually focusing a little bit more on the standup game. But I didn’t manage to execute the game plan.”

In the four fights before the loss, Hermansson was finding success with his ground game. He had back-to-back first-round submissions over Gerald Meerschaert and David Branch. He followed that up with an impressive five-round battle with Ronaldo Souza in April, but fell short in his fight with Cannonier. He wants to take lessons from the loss into his next fight.

“The standup got a little bit sloppy because I had the takedown and the ground game in my mind all the time,” Hermansson said. “So I think that made it too obvious what I was going to do, and he was able to counter and take advantage of that. So I really learned something from that fight, and I think I’m going to be a little more reactive and in a more slow state of mind next fight.”

Should the fight with former UFC welterweight title challenger Till come to fruition, Hermansson would be facing one of the organization’s biggest stars in a bout he hopes would put him right back into 185-pound contention.

Till’s win over Gastelum received mixed reactions, but Hermansson was impressed with his composure and thinks stylistically, a fight between the two of them would make for a fun matchup.

“I have a little bit of a different stature than Gastelum, a little bit of a different style,” Hermansson said. “Darren Till is a southpaw. I’ve been fighting a lot of southpaws before, so it’s going to be interesting to go back to the drawing board and apply a little bit more of those techniques against a southpaw. I think it would be an interesting fight between us. Till likes to come forward, I like to come forward – so I think it’s a good clash of styles.”
