Alexander 'The Great' Hernandez is a 33-year-old lightweight who broke into the UFC with a highlight-reel first-round knockout of Beneil Dariush in 2018 and has bounced between exciting wins and puzzling setbacks ever since. He rattled off finishes of Diego Ferreira and Chase Hooper before dropping a decision to Rafa Garcia in April 2026, and now draws a UFC legend making his comeback in Rafael dos Anjos.
