anthony hernandez guarantees that there was nothing personal in his victory over Roman Dolidze at UFC Vegas 109. However, he admits he was consumed with rage as he dominated the Georgian for four rounds, until he got the completion with a rear naked choke.
In the post-match press conference, Hernandez revealed that he lost his temper due to the anger caused by Dolidze's blows. Despite the intensity of his emotions, he made it clear that his reaction had nothing personal against his opponent.
"I almost lost my cool. I was pissed off and saw the neck and thought, 'Fuck you.' In the end, congratulations to Roman... When I get hit, I lose my temper, I get angry, and I want to kill you. But it's nothing personal," Hernandez said.
At another point during the fight, Hernandez stated that he became irritated and attacked his opponent, provoking him. However, his coaches managed to intervene in time, calming him down and reminding him that, despite the tension, fighting requires emotional control.
“I got a little hotheaded once, I started walking up to him, talking a lot of shit like, 'Come here, bitch!' But my coaches, I heard them yelling, 'Hey, motherfucker, calm down!' and then I was like, 'Okay. It's a fight. Sometimes these things happen. I'm a hothead. My coaches know me so well they know how to calm me down. If I'm going to listen to anyone, it's them.” anthony hernandez.
