The UFC returns to Houston, Texas this Saturday for a Fight Night event headlined by Sean Strickland and Anthony Hernandez which could produce the next (next) title challenger in the middleweight division.
Presumably, Nassourdine Imavov is up next for Khamzat Chimaev, but after that, Anthony Hernandez sits on an eight fight win streak, and nine would almost certainly earn him a spot. Sean Strickland, meanwhile, is a former champ who constantly courts controversy, and as such draws eyeballs, something the UFC would like plenty of as the Paramount+ broadcast deal rolls through its second month.
Weigh-ins for UFC Houston take place Friday; full results can be found below.
