Runs winning streak to six
Hernandez defeated Michel Pereira via TKO (elbows) at 2:22 of Round 5 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was among the most dominant performances you will ever see inside the Octagon. The numbers are just mind boggling. Hernandez landed 10-of-29 takedown attempts for 15:42 worth of control time. He closed with a 219-29 edge in terms of total strikes landed, and a 152-24 edge in those deemed "significant." He allowed Pereira to get absolutely nothing going offensively. In short, it was a flawless effort from "Fluffy" from start to finish. It would also go on to win him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. The winner of six straight dating back to February 2021, Hernandez is absolutely closing in on title-implicating bouts at 185 pounds. There's a case to be made no man in the division is hotter at the moment. The odds are pretty strong Hernandez fights for UFC gold at some point down the road.
