LAS VEGAS – Damon Jackson’s Hall of Fame friend Donald Cerrone was once the target of Alexander Hernandez’s trash talk, which never quite sat right with the UFC featherweight.
In the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 240 at the UFC Apex, Jackson (22-6-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC) will have the opportunity to settle his differences with Hernandez (14-7 MMA, 6-6 UFC) in a fight that was once nearly booked outside of the UFC years ago.
Jackson became friends with Cerrone through Fortis MMA’s head coach Sayif Saud. “The Leech” did not like how Hernandez handled himself ahead of a matchup against Cerrone in 2019, when he delivered a few fiery statements during pre-fight press obligations.
