“I’m a sick f***, I guess,” Hernandez told UFC.com. “Something about just breaking someone’s soul and seeing them just like, ‘F*** it.’ It f***ing gets me going. I don’t know what it is, but I just like breaking people. It’s fun to see for me.”

“I talk a lot of s*** when I fight (laughs),” Hernandez continued. “I don’t talk s*** on social media and all that, but when we’re fighting, we’re actually trying to hurt each other; that’s war tactics. Get in their head, f*** with them, break them, no matter what. You can tell in someone’s eyes.

“I’m in shape for a f*** ton of rounds, so when I see people start to get tired, I’m like, ‘Oh, b****, I’m just getting started.’ That’s another gear,” Hernandez said. “Now we’re hitting third, fourth, fifth gear. Not cruising no more. I love it.”

We’ll see if Pereira loves it on Sat. night.
