Alexander Hernandez talks about the federal hearing after the Michael Johnson fight was canceled

Hernandez opened as a heavy favorite, but reportedly began pouring money into Johnson the day before the fight, tipping the odds in his favor. Hernandez said federal agents questioned him about whether he intended to throw a fight.

Hernandez recently recalled the “embarrassing” episode. According to Hernandez, agents asked him if he had any incriminating apps, which he initially did not understand. At their request, Hernandez said he re-downloaded the Signal messaging app on his phone.

Hernandez said his Signal account included a message from a bot and another exchange in which he tried to get a gram of marijuana from Brazil. While Hernandez admitted he was embarrassed by the amount of marijuana he tried to obtain, he dismissed the notion that the exchange was indicative of anything related to the canceled fight. Hernandez said the interrogation lasted nearly an hour before he was allowed to leave.

“They’re like, ‘Do you have any incriminating apps?’ “I was like, ‘OK, this is kind of embarrassing.’ It’s a ridiculous amount, I’ll admit that, but it certainly wasn’t insider trading, not a hell of a fight set up. An embarrassing exchange, sure. Federal liability, I’d say no… I imagine I sat there spinning our wheels together for almost an hour.

Hernandez has since suffered a decision loss Rafa Garcia
in April, snapping a four-game winning streak. Now it is planned to meet the former champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 332 on Saturday at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
