Anthony Hernandez is eyeing a high-stakes bout, but he's got a preference for a different opponent than the one UFC is pushing. Hernandez, a seasoned MMA fighter with a 15-2 record, was set to challenge Reinier de Ridder for the top spot, but an injury forced him to step aside. Now, he's ready to return to the octagon early next year, and he's got his sights set on a former UFC champion. But here's where it gets interesting: Hernandez would rather face Dricus Du Plessis over Sean Strickland, the current UFC contender who recently called out Hernandez. In a recent podcast interview, Hernandez expressed his preference for Du Plessis, citing his impressive track record as a champion and the opportunity to face a once-proven fighter. While he acknowledges Strickland's boldness, Hernandez believes Du Plessis would be a more worthy opponent to secure the belt. This statement has sparked debate among fans, as some question Hernandez's choice, while others support his decision to prioritize a more challenging opponent. So, who do you think Hernandez should fight? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
