  "account": "LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 15: Luis Hernandez will take the place of Mickey Gall at UFC Vegas 121, fighting in the light heavyweight division. The 30-year-old Hernandez, a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy, has an impressive 8-0 MMA record, with all victories coming by knockout or submission. His opponent, Sedriques Dumas, a convicted felon, has a 10-5 record with one no contest, after being submitted by Jackson McVey at UFC Vegas 116. Fans on social media have taken notice of this unusual matchup, speculating that it may have been booked deliberately based on the fighters' backgrounds. However, it is also possible that Hernandez was the only available combatant for the fight card.",
