Shahbazyan earned his first win in four fights back in December, putting away Dalcha Lungiambula in the second round at UFC 282: Blachowicz vs Ankalaev, earning himself a Performance of the Night bonus. When Shahbazyan is on top of his game and dictating the fight, Hernandez believes he’s quite a talented opponent. However, Hernandez vows to never take his foot off the gas, drown his foe and choke him out before Shahbazyan ever has a chance to get his game plan moving.

“I think he’s good,” Hernandez said of Shahbazyan. “I think he’s really good when you let him do what he wants to do, but that’s not my gameplan. My gameplan is to get in his face and drown him.
“I think it could be a fun banger, but obviously I’m not going to do that. I’m going to go in there and stick to my gameplan and see it through.”
