Hernandez earned his
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract with a submission win
on
Dana White's Contender Series earlier this month. He then made
a 10-day turnaround, stepping up on two days' notice for his UFC
debut against Sedriques
Dumas at
UFC Vegas 121.

“The Stache†earned a $100,000 performance bonus for forcing Dumas
to tap to a guillotine choke in under a minute. The Miami-Dade
Sheriff's Office deputy is looking to stay active in two divisions
and wants to become a household name.

Luis Hernandez wants to fight at middleweight and welterweight
after his unbeaten UFC start

Hernandez's short-notice UFC debut came at light heavyweight.
However, he wants to primarily compete at middleweight while
occasionally dropping to welterweight. The 30-year-old wants to
stay active and become a household name before turning his
attention to championship aspirations.

“I'm a company man,†Hernandez said on the “Deep Waters†podcast.
“I'm gonna make the fights happen. Any weight class you call me,
I’m about that money… I want to pull a Kevin
Holland and do both 170 and 185. I do want to go up the
rankings, but I want to become first a household name.â€

Hernandez holds a 9-0 record, with all nine of his victories coming
by stoppage.

Raoni Barcelos released a video from his hospital bed almost 48 hours after his scary defeat to Raul Rosas Jr. to confirm he's “doing well†and already anticipates a “stronger†return.

ONE Championship

Seven times, ONE's lightweight kickboxing crown has ended up around the same waist. The lightweight Muay Thai belt has followed four times, and its current owner is about to defend it against a familiar face.

Regian Eersel puts his ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title up against George “G-Unit†Jarvis in the main event of The Inner Circle 33 on Friday, October 2. The five-bout card streams exclusively for members from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Suriname-born, Amsterdam-based striker has lost so rarely that his career defeats can be counted on one hand. He has defended gold in two of the most demanding striking disciplines on the planet.

His most recent kickboxing title win came via unanimous decision over Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong at The Inner Circle 10. That performance showed the two-sport king had not lost a step.

His most recent Muay Thai outing, meanwhile, was the first meeting with Jarvis at ONE Fight Night 34 in August 2025. It lasted 84 seconds before a combination left no room for argument.

That result reinforced his standing as one of the most technically complete strikers in the world. The rematch now tests whether a second look changes anything.

Few titleholders in ONE history have been as dominant. On Friday, he looks to extend that run against the man he dispatched last year.

Regian Eersel meets a challenger with Rungrawee history

Jarvis, a 26-year-old Englishman and former WBC Muay Thai World Champion, owns two knockouts of Rungrawee, a feat Eersel never achieved. He has spent every day since their first fight working toward another result, and dethroning the most successful lightweight striker in ONE history would stand as a generational statement.

The co-main event pits unbeaten atomweight Duangdawnoi Looksaikongdin, whose bonus-winning knockout of Regan “Coconut†Gowing came at ONE Friday Fights 137 last December, against Switzerland's Aline Seiberth, a WBC European titleholder with 30 professional wins. Dzhamil Osmanov vs. Ben Woolliss, Mia Trevorrow vs. Sheila Barrios, and Fahlap Toyotarayong vs. Yugo Kato round out the lineup.
