MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz and Damon Martin confirmed with sources that Hernandez (10-2) and Francisco Trinaldo (23-6) have agreed to meet in a lightweight bout at UFC San Antonio, which takes place at AT&T Center on July 20. The main card will air live on ESPN.
Hernandez and Trinaldo were actually supposed to fight at UFC 233 in January, but Hernandez was re-booked to face Donald Cerrone one week earlier at UFC Brooklyn. The 26-year-old, who fights out of San Antonio, would go on to lose to Cerrone by second-round TKO.
