What happened: The prospect secured a standing guillotine choke against Sedriques Dumas in his promotional debut. The victory came just 11 days after Hernandez earned a contract on Dana White's Contender Series.
Why it matters: Hernandez stepped into the short-notice matchup despite the rapid turnaround. The Miami-Dade deputy stated he will buy donuts for his department after claiming a $100,000 performance bonus.
By the numbers: The first-round finish improved Hernandez's professional record to 9-0.
What to watch: Matchmakers will likely book his sophomore UFC appearance with a full training camp.
