Alexander Hernandez addressed the cancellation of his fight against Michael Johnson, noting he was blindsided by the FBI investigation that caused the bout to be scrapped.

Ahead of his appearance at UFC 332, Alexander Hernandez has publicly addressed the circumstances surrounding the sudden cancellation of his previously scheduled fight against Michael Johnson. The bout was scrapped after it became the subject of an FBI investigation, a situation that Hernandez described as a complete shock.

In recent comments regarding the ordeal, Hernandez stated that he was "completely blindsided" by the turn of events. While the investigation resulted in the removal of the fight from the schedule, Hernandez is now focused on his immediate professional obligations. He is slated to face former champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City.

Hernandez’s comments offer the first significant public insight into the disruption of the Johnson matchup, which had previously remained largely unexplained. With the legal and regulatory matters surrounding that situation now behind him, Hernandez looks to climb the ranks in his new test against the veteran dos Anjos.
