UFC Fight Night: Santos vs Walker will see a lightweight clash between Alexander Hernandez and Mike Breeden go down in the opening slot of the main card. Both fighters are bright prospects of the 155 lbs division. Either man will be determined to register a win on their record when the Octagon door closes this weekend.

Hernandez lost his last fight against Thiago Moises. However, it was quite a competitive contest. The 29-year-old has been considered as one of the top prospects of the 155 lbs division for a while now. His last win was against Chris Gruetzemacher in October. It was a spectacular knockout finish from ‘The Great’.

Breeden, on the other hand, will make his debut in the UFC this weekend. He will be entering the promotion with a lot of promise. But he is thrown into tough opponents as Hernandez has the skills to match anybody in the division.

Hernandez has a tendency to take his opponent’s shots from time to time. That might turn out to be a recipe for disaster. But as the more experienced fighter, Hernandez might just be too much for the debutant Breeden.
