Anthony Hernandez expresses confidence in his ability to dethrone UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev. After Chimaev's dominant performance against Dricus Du Plessis, Hernandez congratulates him but criticizes the fight, calling it boring. Hernandez believes his wrestling and jiu-jitsu skills will allow him to handle Chimaev’s grappling. He emphasizes that his exceptional cardio will pressure Chimaev, promising to make him work hard, and considers himself a strong contender for the middleweight title after his recent victory over Roman Dolidze.
Congratulations to him. It was a pretty f--ing boring fight, I'm not gonna lie. But man, call me for the fight. I can wrestle, I can do jiu-jitsu, I can stop all that s-t and I can shut him down. With my gas tank man, I'll drown him, I promise. I'll make him f--ing work. So call me, keep me in mind guys, and you'll have a new Mexican-American champion.
Chimaev's gas tank was a concern for many ahead of the Du Plessis fight, but he made it through 25 minutes without issue. Hernandez believes he can make Chimaev work hard enough to wear him down.
