Five Questions With Alex Hernandez

Only two fights deep in his UFC career, lightweight Alex Hernandez is already making the most of his moment in the sun. An easy pick among the best newcomers of 2018, “The Great” made everyone sit up and take notice in his promotional debut when he needed only 42 seconds to KO veteran contender Beneil Dariush. He followed that up with a dominant decision win a few months later of Olivier Aubin-Mercier. Those performances warranted a vault into the biggest fight of his career, as he readies himself to welcome Donald Cerrone back to the lightweight division on the historic ESPN debut of the UFC.
