It is to be noted that Gruetzemacher was a contestant on the 22nd season of The Ultimate Fighter and was eliminated by Artem Lobov.
On the other hand, Alexander Hernandez nicknamed “The Great” synonymous with Alexander The Great, gained popularity with a 42-second knockout of Beneil Dariush at UFC 222. Following a series of wins the lightweight broke into the top 15 and went on to face Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone which he eventually lost.
A lot can be expected of him as he has recently moved to Colorado to train at Factory X. He will be looking to get back to winning ways at the UFC event which is headlined by a middleweight bout between Anderson Silva and Uriah Hall.
