Anthony Hernandez has spoken positively about his relationship with Sean Strickland following their February fight.
The two fighters, who had no initial issues with each other, have built a good rapport after competing in the Octagon.
Hernandez said of Strickland: "He's a cool dude, man. I got nothing bad to say about the guy. He's been helping me, and I've been training with him."
Strickland reportedly contacted Hernandez about a potential bout with Khamzat, though Hernandez noted he was injured at the time.
