He had one good knockout against Dariush when Dariush was very inconsistent, and people think Hernandez actually has the talent to be a ranked fighter. He's just a meathead with good BJJ

"After learning some valuable lessons against Hermansson". That's an optimistic forecast by Anik. Not that it's a remotely similar matchup.

Curtis is a slow starter and that is very dangerous against someone with as much explosiveness like Buckley, but Buckley is full aggression and neglects his defense. Curtis can knock him out like he did against Hawes and Allen.

I'll take Curtis here. Something about Buckley just rubs me the wrong way.

 danromanick I agree for the most part. Although I have to say that he also has knockout power. The thing is, he doesn't really have good fight IQ and expends way too much energy in the first round just to get gassed and lose the fight after. There have been many examples of that in recent fights. I do think that his move to the featherweight division is the correct one though. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the UFC will cut him. Though I think the UFC will give him one more opportunity to redeem himself.

Oh Hernandez should 100% get cut. He's too small for lightweight and too jacked for featherweight causing ****** cardio
