Surging middleweight contender, Anthony Hernandez can now count it two career wins over fellow divisional challenger, Brendan Allen — turning in a hard-fought unanimous decision win over the Lousianan tonight in the co-main event of UFC Seattle.
Hernandez, the current number twelve ranked middleweight contender, first faced off with fellow challenger, Allen back in 2018, landing a unanimous decision win on that occasion too, securing the undisputed LFA middleweight championship.
And tonight, despite finding himself on the receiving end of a blistering high kick from Allen, Hernandez would have his way in the scrambles in the second and third rounds against the former, riding out a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) victory — adding to his stunning run of wins over Michel Pereira, Roman Kopylov, Edmen Shahbazyan, and Marc Andre-Barriault.
Off the back of his win, Hernandez revealed he had just finished a course of antibiotics yesterday and claimed he was “sick” ahead of his UFC Seattle return, before laying out plans for a title-eliminator next against the middleweight division’s elite.
