UFC lightweight prospect Alex Hernandez has dialled down the trash talk after his stoppage loss to Donald Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 143.
Hernandez, who called Cerrone ‘an insecure little lad’ (amongst other things) prior to Saturday night’s preliminary bout at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, congratulated ‘Cowboy’ on his TKO victory and thanked the UFC for the learning experience.
“Congratulations @cowboycerrone. You taught me something invaluable in defeat,” Hernandez posted on Instagram. “Perhaps the best/worst thing that ever happened to me was a 42 second knockout debut. I go into every fight feeling untouchable and expecting a repeat of the same occurrence.
