Austin Hubbard and Alexander Hernandez will lock horns in a lightweight matchup later this evening (Oct. 5) on the prelims card of UFC 307 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Hubbard (16-7), who is currently on his second stint at the UFC, holds a promotional record of 4-5, including a 1-1 record in his current tenure.

'Thud' was last seen in a unanimous decision win over Michal Figlak in April and would be hoping to register a win this weekend and make his second stint in the promotion more impactful.

Hernandez's (14-8) career is on a definite decline. Despite a promising start with a knockout win over Beneil Dariush in his UFC debut, 'The Great Ape' has a 6-7 record in the promotion. A win this weekend might be crucial for the fighter to justify his presence on the roster.
