Now facing debuting fighter
Hernandez will now take on Rei Tsuruya in a flyweight matchup at UFC 303 on June 29, according to the official UFC site.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez was initially supposed to take on Cody Durden, but Durden ended up getting rescheduled for a separate bout at a later date. Instead, he'll take on an undefeated newcomer in 22-year-old Japanese prospect Tsuruya. It's a tall task for Hernandez, who will enter as the betting underdog in his bid to snap a two-fight losing streak after falling to Tatsuro Taira last December.

No-shows Vegas loss
Hernandez lost to Tatsuro Taira via TKO (punches) at 0:55 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez was dominated from bell-to-bell, which is often the result when you enter as a +400 underdog, second-largest on the entire card. He didn't land a single strike in Round 1 while spending virtually the entire frame on his back. It only got worse for Hernandez in Round 2, at which point Taira unloaded with a combination that crumbled him and forced referee Mark Smith to step in. A product of Dana White's Contender Series, Hernandez has alternated losses and wins in his first four UFC bouts.

Gets right back in win column
Hernandez defeated Denys Bondar via technical unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a stellar rebound performance from Hernandez on the heels of his first round submission loss to Allan Nascimento this past January. He displayed fast hands and excellent cardio throughout the fight. Well on his way to winning a decision, Hernandez slammed Bondar to the mat with just seconds to go and proceeded to rain countless elbows down on his opponent. Referee Jerin Valel halted the bout with just a couple seconds to go. He eventually went to replay and determined an accidental clash of heads on the way to the mat resulted in Bondar being knocked out. It cost Hernandez the stoppage, but not the victory, which is all that matters. The 29-year-old Chicago native improves to 2-1 with the UFC.
