""I don't give a f*ck. The way I see it, is I kind of feel like the boogeyman. Call my name, and if you're in front of me, I'm f*cking coming after you. It is what it is. It's a business, I'm happy a former champion thinks he can take me out, so I'm happy to prove him wrong.""
""the same sh*t he always does. Walks forward, throw teeps, jabs, he'll get pissed off, throw bombs. I think he'll try to wrestle me, because his Du Plessis fight didn't coach well and his coach has talked about it. I think he's going to try to probably show that he's a better mixed martial artist, but I'm ready for everything. So I'm excited.""
Anthony Hernandez is a surging middleweight contender ranked #4 at 185 lbs with an eight-fight win streak. Sean Strickland sits at #3, leaving only Nassourdine Imavov and Dricus Du Plessis ahead of them. Hernandez embraces being targeted and frames fights as business, calling himself the boogeyman who will come after opponents. He expects Strickland to pressure, use teeps and jabs, possibly seek takedowns, and throw power shots when frustrated. Hernandez believes a win will position him for a title shot, but he doubts current champion Khamzat Chimaev will remain at 185.
