Chris
\nCurtis<\/a> isn\u2019t looking to bury the hatchet with Luis
\nHernandez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The beef between Curtis (32-13) and Hernandez (9-0) started at a
\nTuff-N-Uff card last year. Hernandez defeated Curtis\u2019
\nXtreme Couture<\/a> teammate Miles
\nHunsinger<\/a>. \u201cThe Stache\u201d then proceeded to mock Curtis and
\nSean
\nStrickland<\/a>, who were cornering Hunsinger. Both Curtis and
\nStrickland entered the cage before security intervened to stop an
\nall-out brawl.<\/p>\n

Chris Curtis reveals conversations with UFC matchmakers as he
\ncampaigns for Luis
\nHernandez<\/a> fight<\/h2>\n

Hernandez earned his
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> contract on
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> earlier this month. Curtis claims
\nhe called the UFC matchmakers immediately after, asking for a fight
\nagainst the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s deputy.<\/p>\n

However, the matchmakers allegedly told Curtis that Hernandez was
\nstill too green to fight him. Hernandez then made a 10-day
\nturnaround for his UFC debut and submitted Sedriques
\nDumas<\/a> on two days\u2019 notice at
\nUFC Vegas 121<\/a>. Curtis claims he called the matchmakers again
\nregarding a fight against Hernandez, but was denied a second
\ntime.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, \u201cThe Action Man\u201d is willing to wait till the
\nmatchmakers consider Hernandez ready to fight him. A teammate of
\nHernandez reportedly told Curtis that \u201cThe Stache\u201d was looking to
\nsettle their feud. However, Curtis says he is too petty to let go
\nof the beef.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am petty as hell,\u201d Curtis said on Instagram. \u201cThe moment Luis
\nHernandez gets signed to the UFC, I message matchmakers. And the
\nresponse from both was, \u2018He\u2019s not ready yet. He\u2019s got no fights;
\nhe\u2019s not ready yet.\u2019 Last night he gets his win; I immediately
\nmessaged matchmakers. And I get the response, \u2018He\u2019s still not
\nready. He\u2019s not on your level.\u2019 So, I can\u2019t fight him right now;
\nI\u2019ve tried\u2026 But I want him to do well; I want him to get a few
\nwins. Because the moment he gets a few wins, the moment he is not
\nbrand new in the UFC, I\u2019m gonna fight him. I\u2019ve been circling this
\nman like a shark in the water\u2026 I\u2019m going to fold this man like a
\ncheap suitcase. I cannot wait\u2026 I ran into one of his boys the other
\nday; he\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, [Hernandez] wants to squash the beef.\u2019 I told
\nhim I\u2019m gonna pop his head like a grape when I see him. There\u2019s no
\nforgiveness, there\u2019s no letting it go\u2026 I\u2019m gonna strangle you and
\ndrown you like a bag of unwanted puppies.\u201d<\/p>\n
