Alexander Hernandez earned a stunning knockout win over Mike Breeden in the main card of UFC Vegas 38
Mike Breeden got a taste of the biggest mixed martial arts promotion in the world, as he made a disappointing start to his UFC career.
He took on the powerful and explosive Alexander Hernandez, a seasoned and tested UFC lightweight.
Right from the word go, Hernandez began asserting his authority. Although, Breeden was up for it, he was on the backfoot just 30 seconds into the fight.
About a minute into the fight, Hernandez began unleashing bombs with his powerful combos.
The second combo he executed careened Breeden to the cage. ‘The Great’ did not stop there, he continued with his strikes, blasting off Breeden’s mouthpiece in the process.
The fight screamed lights out as soon as the mouthpiece was out. A massive right overhand from Hernandez knocked Breeden out cold.
This was a much-needed win for the 29-year old American, who was coming off a loss against Thiago Moises.
Following his victory, Hernandez called out Leonardo Santos, who was supposed to be his original opponent (in place of Breeden).
Twitterati was in awe of Alexander Hernandez. He hardly had to break a sweat. And given that he is relatively young, he still has a long way to go. A point worth noting is that, he holds a knockout win over top-ranked lightweight Beneil Dariush.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions:
