Anthony Hernandez signs with Legacy Fighting Alliance
Hernandez only has five professional fights but he has looked stellar. He has a great future going ahead. His stand up is good he has solid boxing skills. Hernandez has a good jab that he uses and also feints with, creating openings with bigger strikes. He also has a good right hook right uppercut he throws often and in the clinch. He does an excellent job at landing an elbow on the break of a clinch. Hernandez has shown power in his hands. He is able to end the fight with one punch. However, he mainly focuses on touching his opponent not loading up on one punch.
He has some good wrestling skills but most of his takedowns come from the clinch with trip takedowns and even some hip throws. On the mat, he is a big threat with the choke with a very good arm in guillotine and overall. He is just as good getting the submission standing as his instinct on the choke is his best weapon
Anthony Hernandes will take on another top middleweight prospect in Brendan Allen, they will square off January 26th live on AXS.TV for the Middleweight title in the main event. Both these guys are top notch prospects and the winner could likely get them signed to the UFC. This year alone the UFC has signed three former LFA champions in Trevin Giles, Eryk Anders, and Markus Perez so this could mark the very first signing of the 2018 year.
