Barely gets past Kurt Holobaugh
Hernandez defeated Kurt Holobaugh via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez has been living right in terms of judging decisions of late. He got the call in a split decision win over Austin Hubbard in his most recent bout in October, and here he took a unanimous decision over Holobaugh despite the fact the latter sure appeared to do enough to win each of the first two rounds. Hernandez could get nothing going on the feet but did manage to land 4-of-5 takedown attempts for 6:39 worth of control time. Unfortunately, he did nothing with his positional advantage until Round 3. No longer a kid anymore at age 32, Alex is still below .500 (3-4) in his last seven bouts dating back to February 2022.

Scheduled to face Holobaugh
Hernandez will face Kurt Holobaugh at UFC Vegas 104 on March 15, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez defeated Austin Hubbard via split decision in October last year to snap a brief losing streak. However, the 32-year-old has been struggling of late and has dropped four of his last six bouts across all promotions. He owns a 7-7 record across 14 fights at the UFC level in his career.

Snaps brief losing streak
Hernandez defeated Austin Hubbard via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC 307 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
ANALYSIS
Stepping in for Nate Landwehr on just a few weeks' notice, Hernandez did a nice job of both making weight -- an issue prior to his last fight -- and putting forth a 15-minute performance. Hernandez stuffed all 12 of Hubbard's takedown attempts. That allowed him to pull ahead on the feet, even if this bout was fairly close. The win snapped a two-fight losing streak for Hernandez and may very well have saved his roster spot in the process. Alex has a ton of talent, but has always struggled with consistency on a fight-by-fight basis. Perhaps this performance will get him going.

Steps in to fight Hubbard
Hernandez will replace Nate Landwehr and take on Austin Hubbard in a lightweight showdown at UFC 307 in Salt Lake City on Oct. 5, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez has stepped in on short notice after Hubbard announced he would be getting a new opponent for undisclosed reasons. Hernandez is in desperate need of a victory, as he's dropped four of his last five fights and is coming off a defeat at the hands of Damon Jackson via split decision during a fight for which he also missed weight. His last victory came back in February of 2023 against Jim Miller.

Loses after weight miss
Hernandez lost to Damon Jackson via split decision (28-29, 30-27, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
That might be the final straw in terms of Hernandez's time with the UFC. He missed weight by 1.5 pounds for this fight on Friday morning, resulting in a 148-pound catch weight bout. He then went out and absolutely deserved to drop a decision, regardless of what the horrendous 30-27 scorecard in his favor may say. Alex was responsible for the biggest moment of the fight with a Round 3 knockdown, but it was quite clear he didn't do enough over the course of the first ten minutes to win. No longer a kid at age 31, Hernandez is 1-4 in his past five fights dating back to February 2022. Combine that with the weight cutting issues and the company could easily decide to cut bait.
