“I’m happy that I proved to myself that I can win. I knew what I could do, I just had to go out and do it. In the first round things didn’t go so well, but I kept calm and that makes me happy. I knew I didn’t. I would hit while standing and as long as I kept him standing I could defend myself, and when he ran out of fuel I would have to act ASAP. I thought I had broken my arm in the first round and then started using my elbow. I’m not afraid to fight anyone because I know my coaches and my team will prepare me. I entered this sport because I knew it could be the best, and just because an opponent has a 7-0 fight record does not mean they are unbeatable. He really likes beating people with their own game, because if you beat them in the best way they know how, there are no excuses, “Hernandez said after the fight.
For Hernandez, it was his second win in four UFC fights, and the last time he fought was in 2020 in May, when he defeated Kevin Holland in a TKO in just 39 seconds.
R.Vieirai was the first failure during the duel of 8 MMA professionals. At the UFC, he defeated Oscar Piechot and Saparbek Safarov in identical triangle choke actions. In general, 6 out of 7 of his victories are obtained through painful actions.
