Kurt Holobaugh is excited to take on Alexander Hernandez at Saturday’s UFC Vegas 104.
Holobaugh was uncertain about his future after he managed to get back into the win column the previous time out. But when he was given the chance to take on Hernandez, he was thrilled.
“Very good, very seasoned guy, he’s done a lot in the UFC, has some great wins under his belt against top-10 guys. I’m excited to go out there and accept the challenge,” Holobaugh said.
Holobaugh is aware of Hernandez’s danger, particularly at the beginning. The TUF champion, however, anticipates a wild and chaotic 15-minute bout.
“I’m expecting a wild fight period. I think every round is going to be the same, we are similar, we like to come out and pressure. We both like to punch a lot. I’m expecting a fast-paced fight for all three rounds if we go that far,” Holobaugh said.
Kurt Holobaugh anticipates an entertaining duel with Alexander Hernandez.
Kurt Holobaugh is not surprised that he is the underdog going into UFC Vegas 104. Even though Hernandez is a far more well-known fighter, he still believes in his abilities.
Although Holobaugh thinks both guys will have their time in the ring, he does believe he can submit Hernandez if they begin scurrying about the floor.
“I can say I’m going to knock him out, he can say he’s going to knock me out,” Holobaugh added. “We are both high-level, if one of us wants to finish, we are going to have to do a good job setting up and luring some traps, and make whatever shot we are throwing land. It’s hard ot preodct, I want a finish, I don’t care how I get it. I’m expecting him to wrestle and it to be a full mixed martial arts fight, and I think I can get a submission in a wrestling exchange. It’s going to be fun.”
Getting on the reported Louisiana card later this year against another well-known opponent is the aim if Holobaugh prevails.
“I think it propels me up the rankings, it’s a big fight and a big name, it would be the biggest win of my career. I’m just looking forward to propelling my career,” Holobaugh said.
