Win Methods
Alexander Hernandez, better known as "El Gran Chango", brings a 18-9 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as lightweight, every single win matters.
Volume is the weapon: 4.31 significant strikes a minute on 45% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.
He's coming off a loss to Rafa Garcia. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
