UFC middleweight Anthony Hernandez reacted to his upset win over Rodolfo Vieira at UFC 258, saying “I love to beat people at their own game.”<\/p>\n
Hernandez picked up an amazing second-round guillotine choke win over Vieira in a massive upset on the UFC 258 undercard<\/a>. In a back-and-forth fight between two talented grapplers, Hernandez was able to outlast Vieira, drag him into deep waters, and drown him in them. Vieira started off strong and had full mount a minute into the fight, but Hernandez showed incredible submission defense and was able to will his way out of it. He then picked apart a gassed-out Vieira on the feet before getting him to the ground and submitting him with a guillotine.<\/p>\n Though Vieira may be a world-renowned BJJ player, this is MMA, and Hernandez showed the Brazilian that you need more than just one skill to make it far in the UFC. Speaking to the media<\/a> following his incredible win, Hernandez bragged that he was able to submit such a highly-decorated grappler. You can tell that “Fluffy” had a chip on his shoulder as he was able to prove the doubters wrong.<\/p>\n "Just because he\u2019s 7-0 doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s unbeatable. I wanted to be the one to prove he\u2019s f***ing beatable."<\/p>\n Anthony Hernandez (@Ilovebamf<\/a>) made a statement by handing Rodolfo Vieira his first loss at #UFC258<\/a>.<\/p>\n — UFC News (@UFCNews) February 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
