This coming Saturday, UFC featherweight Bill Algeo (17-7) will look to score back-to-back wins as he takes on Alexander Hernandez at UFC Vegas 80.
Algeo’s last outing came in April where he submitted TJ Brown in the second round of their bout. Hernandez on the other hand is coming in off a win over the legendary Jim Miller.
“Senor Perfecto” spoke about the matchup with Hernandez in more detail at the UFC Vegas 80 media day. “He’s explosive for sure, he’s a good athlete who does everything well. Just he tends to fold, he tends to break a little bit and I intend not to.
“He’s definitely more stoic and more reserved and that kind of stuff, but that’s fine, doesn’t mean anything, he fights the same way and I fight my way so we’ll see which way is better.”
In his last fight, the 34-year-old won a Fight of the Night bonus, and on two other occasions during his UFC tenure has he won a performance based bonus. He admitted that he’s definitely looking to do that again this Saturday, and is hoping to take two bonuses home.
“I’ll take either, both would be ideal but as long as I get one. I’ve got furniture to buy, I’ve got a new house coming so I got some expenses coming my way. I got another kid on the way too at the end of January so those bills are going to rack up, so I’ll take whatever I can get.”
