5 under the radar names to look out for at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Walker

#2. Alexander Hernandez - UFC lightweight

UFC lightweight Alexander Hernandez admittedly walks the line between the status of niche and mainstream. He truly appeared to be growing a fan base back in 2018 following his knockout victory against Beneil Dariush on his UFC debut.

UFC 222: Dariush v Hernandez - Hernandez knocked Dariush out on debut

Hernandez followed that up with a win over Olivier Aubin-Mercier, before getting brutally KO'd by Donald Cerrone. Since that loss, Hernandez's career has somewhat plateued, with a record of 2-2 in his last four fights.

He was initially set to take on Leonardo Santos this weekend. However, Santos has since dropped out and been replaced by Mike Breeden, who will make his UFC debut. Hernandez is a heavy favorite in this fight, and he may well pick up yet another highlight reel stoppage.

#1. Casey O'Neill - Women's flyweight

'King' Casey O'Neill is an undefeated women's flyweight who currently holds a 7-0 record. She already has two wins inside the UFC, both of which ended within the distance.

A brutal TKO against Shana Dobson marked her UFC debut. A follow-up fight saw her catch Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist Lara Procopio in a clinical rear-naked choke submission.

This weekend, O'Neil' will face off against Antonina Shevchenko in what will be her highest profile fight to date. A win on Saturday will likely see O'Neill wake up on Tuesday with a ranking and put her on track to eventually challenge the other Shevchenko sister, who currently holds the title.
