Luis
\nHernandez<\/a> believes he can end Chris
\nCurtis<\/a>\u2019
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> career, but not just yet.<\/p>\n

Hernandez had an altercation with Curtis and Sean
\nStrickland<\/a> at a Tuff-N-Uff event last year. He mocked Curtis
\nand Strickland after defeating their
\nXtreme Couture<\/a> teammate Miles
\nHunsinger<\/a>, drawing a strong reaction from the two before
\nsecurity intervened to prevent the situation from escalating beyond
\nStrickland throwing a blow.<\/p>\n

Luis Hernandez explains why he wants to build his name before
\nfighting Chris Curtis<\/h2>\n

Hernandez made his UFC debut on two days\u2019 notice at
\nUFC Vegas 121<\/a>, finishing Sedriques
\nDumas<\/a> in less than a minute. Curtis recently claimed that he
\ncontacted UFC matchmakers about facing Hernandez after \u201cThe Stache\u201d
\nearned his contract on
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

According to Curtis, UFC matchmakers declined the matchup because
\nof the disparity in experience. Curtis said he contacted them again
\nafter Hernandez\u2019s successful UFC debut on Saturday but was denied
\nfor the same reason.<\/p>\n

Hernandez claims he has buried the hatchet with Strickland.
\nHowever, \u201cThe Stache\u201d believes Curtis is chasing clout by calling
\nhim out and considers \u201cThe Action Man\u201d to be nearing the end of his
\nUFC career. The Miami-Dade County deputy sheriff believes he could
\nultimately deliver the final nail in the coffin of Curtis\u2019 UFC
\nrun.<\/p>\n

However, Hernandez doesn\u2019t want to fight Curtis just yet. He wants
\nto build his profile first so that the stakes are higher if and
\nwhen they eventually meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and Sean are good,\u201d Hernandez told Ariel Helwani. \u201cI don\u2019t know
\nabout Chris. He\u2019s coming out of the woodwork. I guess he\u2019s trying
\nto get some fame. I\u2019m going to get my fights; I\u2019m growing my name.
\nIf his name comes down the list, I could be the final coffin to put
\nhim into retirement\u2026 I\u2019ve been respectful. If he has a problem with
\nme, I guess we could settle it. He\u2019s 6-5 in the UFC. He\u2019s almost on
\nhis way out. If I\u2019m the final nail, it\u2019ll happen sooner or later.
\nIt\u2019s gonna be for money, though. I want to build my name first, and
\nthen I will fight him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luis
\nHernandez<\/a> says he and Sean
\nStrickland<\/a> are good after their brawl at Tuff-N-Uff last year,
\nbut he\u2019s not so sure about Chris
\nCurtis<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and Sean are good. I don\u2019t know about Chris. He\u2019s coming out of
\nthe woodwork. I guess he\u2019s trying to get some fame.<\/p>\n
