What happened: Chris Curtis asked matchmakers for the fight and said Hernandez was not ready yet. Hernandez answered that Curtis wants to fold him like a chair and called himself the final nail in the coffin.

Why it matters: Hernandez took his Vegas 121 opportunity on two days' notice while serving as a Miami-Dade deputy. A Curtis matchup would pair that fast-start momentum with an established veteran name for his next step.

By the numbers: Hernandez won UFC Vegas 121 bout in 57 seconds; weighed in at 204 pounds.

What to watch: Watch whether matchmakers book Hernandez against Curtis next.
