Hernandez Reveals Federal Questioning Over Alleged Fix

Alexander Hernandez says federal agents questioned him about whether he intended to throw a UFC fight with Michael Johnson that was later canceled.

The lightweight recounted the interrogation in a social media post, describing a surreal moment when investigators asked about potentially incriminating apps on his phone. "They're like, 'Do you have any incriminating apps?' I'm like, 'I don't even know what an incriminating app would look…'" he said, per Sherdog.

The Federal Investigation Into Hernandez's Canceled Bout

Hernandez treated the episode with dark humor, sharing details of the federal questioning process surrounding the Johnson matchup. The bout never took place, though the exact timeline of when it was scrapped relative to the investigation remains unclear.

The lightweight made no indication he was under formal suspicion, framing the exchange as an absurd moment in his career. Federal authorities have not publicly commented on any investigation into the fight or its cancellation.

Hernandez has not announced his next scheduled appearance in the octagon.
