Carlos Hernandez
USA
No-shows Vegas loss
Hernandez lost to Hyun Sung Park via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:26 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a horrendous performance from Hernandez, who wasn't the least bit competitive. He absorbed a few big blows on the feet in the early going before giving up an easy takedown. He found himself tapping out moments later. Now seven fights deep into his UFC career, Hernandez is sporting a 3-4 record with the company, but he's lost three of his last four dating back to December 2023. His lone victory during that stretch was via split decision. He'll almost certainly be fighting for his job his next time out.

He was the much more effective fighter in the final frame after being controlled on the mat for a good portion of the opening ten minutes.

The 30-year-old Chicago native has now lost two straight and drops to 2-3 in his first five UFC bouts. Hernandez will likely need a victory his next time out to ensure his roster spot is safe.

Instead, he'll take on an undefeated newcomer in 22-year-old Japanese prospect Tsuruya.
