Those who follow Jonas Jerebko on social media may have noticed that there will be some posts about MMA.

He has also been a guest on the world's biggest MMA talk show, "The MMA Hour".

He tells SVT Sport about his interest:

- I'm a big fan of the UFC and have been ever since it started.

I've always watched a lot of UFC, boxing and martial arts.

It's been a big part of my life for the last ten or fifteen years.

Where does the interest come from?

- I do not know, I could never have gone into the ring or the octagon myself, but I have always looked at it and had an eye for it.

I would call myself something of an expert, haha.

Who is the favorite?

- There are many.

Of course I know all the Swedes and know that Khamzat Chimaev is on his way up.

I've talked to him a bit on social media and will check him out when I get the chance.

After our match on Monday, I think about visiting him and watching him train.

SVT Sport broadcasts both of Sweden's World Cup qualifiers against Croatia, on 25/2 and 28/2.
