Alexander Hernandez is once again in a position to ask for opportunities, but this time he’s taking it slow.
The 28-year-old learned a lot from when he burst onto the scene in 2018, scoring a shocking knockout of Beneil Dariush and following that with a decisive win over veteran Olivier Aubin-Mercier. From there, it looked like Hernandez was a classic case of “too much too soon” as he suffered his first UFC loss to Donald Cerrone, won a controversial decision against Francisco Trinaldo, and then lost by TKO to Drew Dober earlier this year.
