In his next title defense, the champion is tasked with the undefeated contender Khamzat Chimaev in UFC 319's main event this Saturday night. After his big win, Hernandez will make the trip to Chicago with the hopes he'll see his next opponent live and in person.

Hernandez (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) made sure to make his intentions clear following his latest win at UFC on ESPN 72 Saturday at the UFC Apex. Hernandez dominated Roman Dolidze (15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) for more than 15 minutes before submitting him in the fourth round in the main event. In a post-fight interview in the cage, he shot his shot.

"Fluffy" is one of UFC's most underappreciated success stories. Hernandez lost two of his first three UFC fights before embarking on an eight-fight win streak. The first hint of his rebellious new fighting style came after he submitted Rodolfo Vieira, regarded as arguably the greatest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu heavyweight of his generation.
