Tyrell Fortune meets Joe Hernandez at Bellator 193 in California

Tyrell Fortune will try to stay unbeaten when he returns next month for his first fight in nine months.

Fortune (3-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) has been booked for a heavyweight fight against Joe Hernandez (4-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) at Bellator 193. A Bellator official confirmed the booking with MMAjunkie following an initial report from MMAfighting.com.

Bellator 193 takes place Jan. 26 at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. The main card airs on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Fortune, a standout collegiate and Olympic-level wrestler, made his MMA debut in late 2016 with a first-round TKO of Cody Miskell at Bellator 163. He followed that up with a second-round TKO of Will Johnson at Bellator 171 in January. In April, he went the distance for the first time with a decision over Branko Busick at Bellator 178.

Hernandez started a perfect 4-0 in his MMA career, but has suffered back-to-back knockuot losses. In October 2015, he was stopped in the first round by Bellator vet Josh Appelt. And in March 2016, he was knocked out by Jared Vanderaa at a Smash Globabl event. The Californian has been out of action since then.

The Bellator 193 card now includes:

  • Lorenz Larkin vs. Fernando Gonzalez
  • J.J. Ambrose vs. Saad Awad
  • Kendall Grove vs. A.J. Matthews
  • Tyrell Fortune vs. Joe Hernandez
