LAS VEGAS – Chris Curtis doesn’t anticipate a points fight with Alexander Hernandez when they meet at UFC Fight Night on Sept. 16.
Curtis (30-10 MMA, 4-2 UFC) will attempt to put a two-fight winless skid behind him when he takes on Hernandez (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in a middleweight bout at T-Mobile Arena. Hernandez enters the contest on a four-fight winning streak, with three of those coming by finish.
An opponent who doesn’t care to go to the judges is exactly what Curtis thinks he needs at this point. He expects Hernandez to meet him head on inside the octagon, and from there the result will be determined by who can dig deeper.
