Upon further review, Alexander
Hernandez believes he deserved to win his lightweight clash
with Thiago
Moises at
UFC Fight Night 186.
The San Antonio Texas native released a statement on Monday via
Instagram regarding Saturday’s unanimous decision loss. All three
cageside judges sided with Moises after three rounds: 30-27, 30-27
and 29-28.
“Silence the commentary, watch this fight, and convince me I didn’t
win 2 1/2 of 3 rounds,” Hernandez wrote. “It’s extremely difficult
to rationalize and agree with the outcome, but it is the outcome.
Three more fights to come this year. Onward.”
While the fight was competitive — Moises only held a 53-to-50 edge
in significant strikes landed — all 21 unofficial media scorers
tracked by
MMADecisions.com agreed with the judges and submitted tallies
for the ex-Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion.
“Just getting used to being in the Octagon, I train at ATT, the
best in the world,” Moises said. “I get better every day, so I
can’t wait to see five years from now where I’ll be at. I’m not
surprised, I was supposed to dominate him. I know my skillset, I
trust my coaches, my training partners — I knew I was going to
dominate him.”
Hernandez has now lost three of his last five UFC appearances.
