And another added: "He’s 3 inches shorter than he was when the fight started."Unsurprisingly, Hernandez went on to win the fight, submitting Barriault with a head and arm choke in the third round after a hugely impressive performance."It’s a fight, you know how it goes," the American said afterwards. "I’m willing to die in this b****.

I always want to finish. I’m just going to keep doing what I f****** do."I don’t really follow UFC, I just show up and fight.
