Alexander Hernandez Won't Be Deterred

UFC Featherweight Alexander Hernandez Has The Mindset As A Winner, All That's Left To Do Is Execute And Collect Checks.

Alexander Hernandez is no quitter. So when I ask him if he’s going to keep at this featherweight thing until he gets it right, he laughs.

“Honestly, that's the best way saying that, and that's a hundred percent it,” said Hernandez, who makes his third featherweight start this Saturday against Damon Jackson, though it won’t be an official start in the division after he missed weight on Friday, first at 150 pounds, then at 147.5 pounds. And while the former lightweight contender lost his first two trips to 145 pounds against Billy Quarantillo and Bill Algeo, he’s going to try again.
