Now, let’s talk about the fighters. We’ve got two seasoned featherweights, Alexander Hernandez and Damon Jackson. They’re going head-to-head in a three-round contest. This exciting match is part of the UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Allen event.
The event’s gonna take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. And guess what? This news came straight from Eurosport’s Marcel Dorff. He spilled the beans in a social media post.
Hernandez, with a record of 14-7, will step into the Octagon against Jackson. His last fight was a unanimous decision loss to Bill Algeo at UFC 229 in October. But don’t count him out just yet. Before that defeat, he secured a unanimous decision victory against Jim Miller at UFC Fight Night 219.
On the other hand, Jackson is looking to bounce back. He’s had back-to-back losses against Billy Quarantillo and Dan Ige in August and January of 2023. But remember, this Dallas native was on a four-fight win streak before that. He’s got victories against Pat Sabatini, Dan Argueta, and Kamuela Kirk under his belt.
The UFC Fight Night “Vettori vs. Allen” event will also feature a clash between Marvin Vettori and Brendan Allen. Vettori is currently ranked No. 5 in the middleweight division, while Allen holds the No. 8 spot. According to Sherdog’s independent rankings, Vettori is at No. 8 and Allen is on the bubble list.
