The opportunities keep on coming for Alexander Hernandez and he hasn’t shied away from one yet.
That includes his upcoming lightweight matchup with Donald Cerrone on Jan. 19 in Brooklyn, a fight that only materialized after the UFC pulled Hernandez out of an already scheduled bout with Francisco Trinaldo that was supposed to take place a week later at the since-canceled UFC 233.
Hernandez had an eventful Year 1 in the UFC to say the least, debuting on just eight days’ notice with a 42-second knockout of Beneil Dariush at UFC 222 in March and following that up with a unanimous decision win against Olivier Aubin-Mercier at UFC on FOX 30 in Calgary, Alberta, in July.
