While UFC 249 didn’t go down as originally planned on April 18, Alexander Hernandez expects he’ll be compensated for his efforts to get there.
Hernandez was schedule to compete on both iterations of the event – first against Islam Makhachev in Brooklyn N.Y., and then against short notice replacement Omar Morales at Tachi Palace in Lemoore, Calif. Eventually, the date was scratched altogether due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
After the rollercoaster ride to get to April 18 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, “The Great” made the decision to not compete on the event’s new date of May 9, which is expected to take place somewhere in Florida.
