Alexander Hernandez convinced he beat Thiago Moises: ‘Silence the commentary, watch this fight’

Alexander Hernandez is having a hard time coming to terms with his loss to Thiago Moises.

Hernandez (12-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) dropped a unanimous decision to Moises this past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 186 and looked perplexed when Bruce Buffer announced Moises as the winner.

Two judges gave all three rounds to Moises (15-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC); a third judge gave Hernandez Round 1. The total strike count was close and slightly in Moises’ favor, but Hernandez thinks the commentary team showed bias toward his opponent and wasn’t accurately reflecting the exchanges.

A frustrated Hernandez took to Instagram to vent on the loss.

“Silence the commentary, watch this fight, and convince me I didn’t win 2 1/2 of 3 rounds. It’s extremely difficult to rationalize and agree with the outcome, but it is the outcome. Three more fights to come this year. Onward.”

After a 2-0 start to his UFC tenure with wins over Beneil Dariush and Olivier Aubin-Mercier, Hernandez has seen mixed results in the octagon. The Factory X-based fighter has lost three of his past five.
