Luis “The Stache” Hernandez is an undefeated professional mixed martial artist competing in the UFC’s Middleweight division, as well as an active-duty Sheriff’s Deputy with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

A native of Miami, Florida, Hernandez balances a dual career in public safety and elite combat sports. Serving on the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Priority Response Team, he brings a disciplined operational background into the Octagon. Training out of Freedom Fighters MMA and Kill Cliff FC, Hernandez rapidly established himself as a finish-oriented prospect on the regional circuit.

Hernandez holds an unblemished 8-0 professional MMA record built on a 100% finish rate split across five submissions and three knockouts. His regional run features one of the fastest knockouts in MMA history: a one-second left head-kick finish at Titan FC 83. On September 15, 2026, Hernandez competed on Dana White’s Contender Series (Season 10, Week 6), securing a second-round rear-naked choke victory over Hugo Guillon to earn a UFC contract.

Hernandez is managed by John Song of First Round Management, a sports agency specializing in UFC athlete representation, contract negotiation, and commercial brand partnerships.
