After calling his shot before his short-notice UFC debut against Beneil Dariush and scoring a shocking 42-second knockout of the lightweight contender in March, don’t expect Alexander Hernandez to tone anything down the second time around as he prepares to face Olivier Aubin-Mercier on Saturday.
“I do see myself knocking him unconscious in the first two minutes,” Hernandez said. “It’s just like the Dariush fight.”
When the 25-year-old Texan gives his prediction for the Calgary bout, it’s not with a tone of fire and fury. It’s almost matter of fact, like placing an order in a restaurant.
