Suffers second straight loss
Hernandez lost to Rei Tsuruya via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 303 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez may have very well been walking out with a victory if this fight was scheduled for five rounds. He was the much more effective fighter in the final frame after being controlled on the mat for a good portion of the opening ten minutes. Neither man accomplished anything on the feet, highlighted by the fact Hernandez landed just 16 significant strikes over the course of 15 minutes. The 30-year-old Chicago native has now lost two straight and drops to 2-3 in his first five UFC bouts. Hernandez will likely need a victory his next time out to ensure his roster spot is safe.

Now facing debuting fighter
Hernandez will now take on Rei Tsuruya in a flyweight matchup at UFC 303 on June 29, according to the official UFC site.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez was initially supposed to take on Cody Durden, but Durden ended up getting rescheduled for a separate bout at a later date. Instead, he'll take on an undefeated newcomer in 22-year-old Japanese prospect Tsuruya. It's a tall task for Hernandez, who will enter as the betting underdog in his bid to snap a two-fight losing streak after falling to Tatsuro Taira last December.

No-shows Vegas loss
Hernandez lost to Tatsuro Taira via TKO (punches) at 0:55 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Hernandez was dominated from bell-to-bell, which is often the result when you enter as a +400 underdog, second-largest on the entire card. He didn't land a single strike in Round 1 while spending virtually the entire frame on his back. It only got worse for Hernandez in Round 2, at which point Taira unloaded with a combination that crumbled him and forced referee Mark Smith to step in. A product of Dana White's Contender Series, Hernandez has alternated losses and wins in his first four UFC bouts.
