“The media is trash and always tries to twist it” – Damon Jackson sheds light on calling Alexander Hernandez “arrogant”

Damon Jackson wishes to clarify his comments regarding Alexander Hernandez.

This Saturday night, ‘Action’ will make his return to the cage against ‘The Great’. Their fight has been chosen as the co-feature for UFC Vegas 90, which will be headlined by Brendan Allen and Chris Curtis 2. Despite not being the main event, Jackson and Hernandez’s matchup has garnered significant attention and is arguably the most anticipated fight on the card.

The buzz surrounding UFC Vegas 90 media day can largely be attributed to the press scrums of Hernandez and Jackson. Both fighters had negative remarks about each other, with Jackson even labeling his opponent as ‘arrogant’ leading up to his defeat to Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in 2019.

Nevertheless, that was just a brief excerpt of Damon Jackson’s remarks during media day. Addressing the issue in the comment section of Instagram, the UFC featherweight challenger further elucidated his statements. Jackson stated:

“Guys, I did not say that I was hating on him because of the cowboy fight just when I heard him talking so much s*it and not doing anything after that made me not like him.

“I don’t know who this guy is. I don’t know anything about him, except for what he put out in the public to see. Ha he might be a standup guy.”

In conclusion, Jackson stated:

“The media is trash and always tries to twist it.”
