That instinct to go swing like a wild man is one of Hernandez’s favorite parts about fighting. It’s also a big reason why Hernandez seems to find himself in these crazy fights that have fans jumping off the couch.
If he’s being honest, Hernandez would welcome a nice clean victory over Barriault. But he’s taking a more realistic approach to the Octagon than predicting he’s going to get a quick and easy finish.

“For sure, I’d love that, but it’s a fight and everyone here is good. However, it plays out, that’s how it plays out,” Hernandez said.
“I’m not going to say it’s going to be a quick one because you never know how it goes. Sometimes the m*********** is just tougher than you thought. I’ve hit some guys, seen their eyes roll back and they’re still standing, so it is what it is. I’m here to swing until the fight is over.”
