Damon Jackson would like to correct the record about his comments relating to Alexander Hernandez.
'Action' is set to return to the cage this Saturday night against 'The Great'. The two are set to be the co-feature of UFC Vegas 90, headlined by Brendan Allen vs. Chris Curtis 2. While Jackson and Hernandez aren't in the main event, they've become arguably the biggest fight on the card.
That's mainly due to the buzz coming out of UFC Vegas 90 media day. During their press scrums, Hernandez and Jackson had a lot of bad things to say about each other. The latter called his opponent 'arrogant' in the build-up to his 2019 loss to Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone.

However, that's just one small snippet of what Damon Jackson had to say at media day. Taking to the Instagram comment section, the UFC featherweight contender clarified his comments a bit. Jackson wrote:
"Guys, I did not say that I was hating on him because of the cowboy fight just when I heard him talking so much s*it and not doing anything after that made me not like him.
"I don't know who this guy is. I don't know anything about him, except for what he put out in the public to see. Ha he might be a standup guy."
Jackson concluded:
"The media is trash and always tries to twist it."
