Middleweight action paved the way at UFC Sacramento, the promotion’s first visit to the California city since 2019.
The card’s main event sees Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez looking to bounce back from a loss against Sean Strickland that had snapped an impressive eight-fight win streak that had put him firmly in title contention.
“Robocop” Rodrigues will be standing opposite him, a hard-hitting fan favorite who has claimed victory in his last three fights, with two by knockout.
Also on the card, a pair of former middleweights turned light heavyweights, with Reinier de Ridder returning to the division for the first time as a UFC athlete, going up against Roman Dolidze. RDR was a former ONE double-champ at middleweight and light heavyweight, with the weight cut to 185lbs becoming too draining. Dolidze had moved up in weight previously.
