Pre-Fight

“The way I see it is if I keep winning I can’t be denied [a title shot]. I feel like I got to do more work until they fcking say ‘hey sit out a little bit’ or something. I haven’t been told sht so as of now I’m going to keep going towards that belt. He’s a vet for sure. He’s a banger.

“He comes forward and throws hard. I really like this fight for myself because, personally, I seen him gas in about three rounds. I live for people that gas out cuz I’m going to make you work. I’m going to make you drown. I really don’t care how (that fight) goes. Whoever has the belt, eventually, I’m going to fight them,” Hernandez said
