Jed MeshewHOST
He submitted his last time out Matusz Trubiski in May, which if memory serves, Grant Dawson actually, I believe that submission in fact ruined a previous iteration of the climb.
Jed MeshewHOST
Or maybe it was the Rafa...
Jed MeshewHOST
Actually, it might have been the Rafa Garcia one that ruined the previous iteration of the climb.
Jed MeshewHOST
Because mostly the man in his UFC tenure, fights have tended to go a little long.
Jed MeshewHOST
But actually looking at this now, it's not quite the case.
Austin SwaimHOST
The Rong Zhu, as you mentioned, the Rong Zhu decision aged much better for him.
Austin SwaimHOST
It was a relief to see that against Rafa Garcia because that Rong Zhu fight for Cody was very ugly.
Austin SwaimHOST
Hasn't had much opposition the other times we've seen him.
Austin SwaimHOST
I really don't know what to expect from Guignol.

Matt TannerHOST
Like he's been caught twice.
Matt TannerHOST
Manuel Torres and King Green.
Matt TannerHOST
You know, when Rafa Garcia, the ground and pound was vicious.
Matt TannerHOST
I'd love to see Grant reverse position and start laying ground and pound on this guy.
NoahHOST
Hernandez is one of...
NoahHOST
He lost his last fight, I'm pretty sure, to Rafa Garcia by decision.
NoahHOST
But before that, he had two back-to-back KOs against Hooper.
NoahHOST
Chase Hooper and Diego Ferreira.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Yeah, no, I'll take Alexander Hernandez.
Daniel VreelandHOST
You know, I know he lost that last fight to Rafa Garcia.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Shout out to me for having that pick.
Daniel VreelandHOST
But also back-to-back knockouts before then against guys who don't typically get knocked out all that easy, right? Chase Hooper, Diego Fajeda, you know, not guys who, you know, super easy to sleep.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Yeah, no, I'll take Alexander Hernandez.
Daniel VreelandHOST
You know, I know he lost that last fight to Rafa Garcia.
Daniel VreelandHOST
Shout out to me for having that pick.
Daniel VreelandHOST

Phil MackenzieHOST
100%.
Connor RuebuschHOST
If Rafa Garcia, uh, and no shade on Rafa Garcia, but he will never be as good a fighter as RDA once was If Rafa Garcia can just put on a consistent three-round pressure performance and put the fear back in Alexander Hernandez, I know RDA is, is in some way capable of doing the same.
Phil MackenzieHOST
Yep.
Connor RuebuschHOST
But I do not expect that to happen.
Matt TannerHOST
Hernandez, on the other hand, 18-9 professionally.
Matt TannerHOST
The Rafa Garcia decision loss hasn't aged that well.
Matt TannerHOST
You know, I think his best performance was like that round one knockout over Chase Hooper.
Matt TannerHOST
Diego Ferreira was a good round two finish.
Zach RugerHOST
10 and 8 in the UFC.
Zach RugerHOST
And he's coming off a weird loss to Rafa Garcia.
Zach RugerHOST
It made no sense.
Zach RugerHOST
Rafa just started grappling earlier this year, ended his four fight winning streak.
