ANALYSIS
This is expected to be Hernandez's first fight of 2024. He went 1-1 in 2023, with a loss to Bill Algeo and a win over Jim Miller. Miller is trying to get on track at featherweight though, having lost each of his last three UFC bouts competing in the promotion's weight class.

Struggles continue in Vegas
Hernandez lost to Bill Algeo via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Some late money came in on Hernandez making him roughly a -115 favorite at this time the fight when off, but he was never able to get on track against his bigger opponent. Alex seemed to be swimming upstream the entire bout. He did manage to crack Algeo with a handful of huge shots, but Bill ate each one without issue. To make matters worse, Hernandez was poked in the eye on multiple occasions, including a very bad one in Round 2. There simply wasn't enough prolonged damage for Alex to potentially win a decision. The 31-year-old Texan drops to 1-3 in his past four fights dating back to February 2022.

Barely gets past Jim Miller
Hernandez defeated Jim Miller via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Stepping in for an injured Gabriel Benitez on less than two weeks' notice, Hernandez handled his business. It didn't come easy. This fight was much closer than the scorecards indicated. Alex consistently came out ahead in the striking exchanges between the two and appeared to really pull away in the middle stages of Round 2 until the final minute of Round 3, at which point Miller was able to get him to the mat and clamp on a rear-naked choke that nearly stole the fight. No longer a kid anymore at age 30, Hernandez has had his ups and downs in his near five years with the company. He's better than his 6-5 UFC mark would lead you to believe. The next challenge will be to put together a string of victories.
