"After starting his career 10-1, Alexander Hernandez hit a few roadblocks, bouncing up and down between featherweight and lightweight for a bit and trading wins and losses before finally settling in at 155lbs. Now on a three-fight win streak, he faced off against Brazilian veteran Carloes Diego Ferreira at Noche UFC in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday. ROUND 1: Ferreira came out and immediately put the pressure on the historically fragile Hernandez."
"ROUND 2: Right as the second round started, Hernandez threw a body kick, but poked Ferreira in the eye while posting with his left hand. The action resumed not long after. Hernandez was still circling around like he was doing in the first round, waiting for his opening to land a big shot. That opportunity finally presented itself as Hernandez caught Ferreira coming in with a big right hand that floored him."
