Luis Hernandez: The Journey From Miami-Dade Deputy to the UFC | Stay Tranquilo

The undefeated Miami native shares his journey from high school wrestling to law enforcement, balancing life as a Miami-Dade deputy with the demands of professional MMA, and the work ethic that helped him turn a longtime dream into reality.

Luis also talks about representing the 305 on the biggest stage in combat sports, training with Jorge Masvidal, the growth of MMA in South Florida, and his ultimate goal: fighting — and eventually headlining — a UFC card right here in Miami.

We also get into his Cuban roots, his 100% finish mentality, the support of his wife and family, and the affirmations he wrote years ago saying one day he would make it to the UFC.
