Damn “get my kids their own bedroom”. That’s dope

[@82119941]

For real, his arrogance was over kill at first...but, when he said that 👊

[@lartdelavivre1]

Well-done- big win - submit the bjj legend! UFC, Give this man 50K!

[@omarq6885]

I did bet on him for 50K and won 220K

[@alanthesalamander2327]

@@omarq6885 Bs. You not big rolling like that

[@1254q]

What most ppl don't understand, it wasn't the ULTIMATE grappling of Antony Fluffy that won him the fight, it was that he beat the shit out of vieira and vieira gassed out so bad that i thought he was gonna die, that's how he got submitted.. Congrats to Hernandez.

[@yurifrommw215]

Ikr lol. It’s like saying a grappler tko’d a striker but it wasn’t cause of the grappler having a better stand up, it was because the grappler took down the striker beat him with ground and pound, like Khabib.

[@Lasvedras1143]

“Everyone’s got a plan until they get hit.” JL

[@nyk5761]

This dudes attitude is gonna get him a long way , I fw it.

[@native00]

fuck no or at least not in the UFC this dude is arrogant as hell 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Mr “I dont follow fighting like that”

[@jesseramirez9205]

He did seem to lack pop after the first, but he kept teeing off. Not surprising he broke his hand on that fkin monster. Good win.

[@adamabbas1487]

A white belt can submit a black belt when they are exhausted and rocked. I am a big fan of Rodolfo from his sport bjj days around 2011 to 2014, so I am not particularly happy about this loss.

[@benjaminscarfo4116]

This is like the opposite of the original UFC, Jew Jitsu specialists just getting beat the fuck up

[@marsnall]

Same here. It was sad to see him lose like that. Don't know what happened. I hope he recovers and returns stronger

[@benjaminscarfo4116]

@@marsnall He had that trenbolone cardio

[@bilguuntsog-ochir3889]

Cry more

[@lartdelavivre1]

Condition. Condition, condition. See Covington, Bisping, Wonderboy, the Diaz brother, you could win because of that or not still going even you got rock a little. When an athlete doesn't have the condition anymore, they always lost. Go and run 5k-10k / 3m-6m everyday, then you will have the superman cardio.

[@kobe51]

He was only a 'purple belt' in that fight?? 😅😅😅😅

[@godsmack1716]

He looked like a purple belt

[@bikerboy72]

You don’t need to be a black belt to submit someone who is completely gassed lmao

[@AceofDlamonds]

You don't need any belt. Just grappling experience :) punch a blackbelt and he turns into a brown belt, throw another and he's a purple belt :)

[@adamrose6969]

Coolest dude ever

[@davidmartinez9804]

I became an instant fan after streaming this fight live. It should be called naturally strong vs too much juice. What a great fight and a cool person who has his own fighting style.

[@Reddogg387]

Hernandez gave a clinic on mma vs bjj. Rodolfo is levels beyond Hernandez on the ground, but Hernandez taught a lesson that this is MMA. Striking and conditioning are just as important as jiu jitsu. Sorry BJJ lovers 🤷‍♂️

[@kobe51]

Duh

[@gregeddington9147]

I fuckn loved it !! Fluffy you rocked !! Pay this man big bonus , that guy has a freaking rock head !!

[@regulardude7961]

This dude's super cool. I hope he keeps kicking some butt

[@Monscent]

People acting like Vieira wasnt completely rocked and exhausted lol

[@Reddogg387]

Of course he was. No one is claiming Fluffy’s bjj is better. He’s just a better mixed martial artists with far better conditioning. I could tell Rodolfo would never be a true contender but I honestly thought he’d submit Fluffy. However the man showed this is mma, not bjj

[@kobe51]

After getting all his bjj moves stuffed!

[@Vash530]

Probably the most impressive part of the fight was the submission defense by Hernadez early. Legend of bjj getting stuffed by top talent purple belt gotta love it.

[@Reddogg387]

@@Vash530 for sure it’s being overshadowed by the tap. He showed great defensive skills and heart. Rodolfo on your back is a nightmare lol

[@mannygarcia4070]

Yeah its called losing 🤣

[@tyrellbatary9964]

What a good guy

[@2KRAW]

Young folks...match this mans work ethic & mindset...& you'll get everything you want.

did he get another stripe on is blue belt? save your money for kids college (just ask cowboy how he' going to pay for college)....

Good dad :D

This isn't a grappling match,

CHICKEN DANCE OF THE YEAR 🐣🐤🐥🐣🐤🐥 KKKKKK

[@toomuchtruth]

Bitch I'm saucin' I do this often..

[@GRACEORT]

How come he was allowed to fight with those big earrings in? Very strange

[@cameronstewart2661]

they are for people with spacers so they don’t have holes in their ears open to possible ripping or tearing I believe. The holders are probably made of rubber or something like that. Potolo who was also on this card as them as well.

[@Izarcø-66]

If you watched the fight he had no earrings on. His ears were taped.

[@robv302]

Mexico all the way!

[@lostherenegade339]

I never knew masvidal had a kid 😂

[@Andy-bm3os]

Haha BJJ is literally a joke at this point. I knew he would get submitted

[@lucaperon9865]

Lmao yeah I’m sure you predicted the bjj champ would get subbed

[@wajcat]

He used BJJ to defeat him tho
