Alexander Hernandez will return to lightweight for a short-notice bout at UFC Fight Night 219 . Gabriel Benitez has been forced out of his Feb. 18 matchup against Jim Miller (35-16 MMA, 24-15 UFC) at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and Hernandez (13-6 MMA, 5-5 UFC) will step in on less than two weeks’ notice.

Hernandez is coming off back-to-back stoppage losses to Renato Moicano and most recently Billy Quarantillo at UFC 282 this past December.
