Despite fighting a more notable opponent, Hernandez is treating &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; as just another fighter in the cage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to break him like everyone else. I have the style, I have the game and it doesn\u2019t really change. I\u2019m becoming more in tune with my own personal cadence. It\u2019s always about looking inwards and delivering outward. For me I always see myself breaking my opponents and knocking them unconscious. Now, especially after that Olivier Aubin-Mercier fight, a lot of awareness was brought to the table, a lot of humility as well. Approaching this fight I intend to finish Cerrone, in my most honest opinion I intent to finish him in the first round. If it goes to the second, great, if it goes to the third fine he\u2019ll be a broken man by that third round. But I\u2019m preparing for the longest war of my life with the mindset I can put him away quickly. I know wholeheartedly I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UFC on ESPN+ 1 takes place Jan. 19 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
