Of course, Hernandez has to make a real statement if he wants to get back in title contention following his defeat at the hands of Sean Strickland in his last outing.
In a recent interview, Hernandez spoke about his recent experience of training out in Las Vegas.
Hernandez praises Strickland and his team
“It was great, man,” Hernandez said. “It was a f*cking blast. … It kind of re-sparked that [love for] martial arts for me, and I mean, I’ve been doing this shit for a long time. And to be honest, I was kind of getting sick of Sacramento anyways. So going out there was f*cking exciting. It was new. It was fun.
“A lot of the guys I fought, and there’s a lot of new guys there so it’s just like a lot of hungry guys, and they’ll take your head off if you f*cking let them. So for me it was like about jumping in the fire and f*cking having to sharpen all my tools with guys with multiple layers, you know what I mean? And it was a f*cking great outcome for me. I had a great camp.
“Being at the [UFC] P.I., it was fucking amazing having everyone there — from f*cking Charles and Hannah with the meal preps and like just overall it was, I just made everything about fighting and I f*cking left home all summer. My wife, thank God for her, and the grandparents because they’ve been f*cking holding it down for me while I’m able to chase this dream and go out there and take full advantage.”
