The UFC returned to Sacramento, CA for the first time since 2019 on Saturday, with the 2026 edition of UFC Sacramento headlined by middleweights Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez and Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues.
That main event had Hernandez fighting at home in California, but it was Brazilian Rodrigues coming away with a hard-fought decision victory after five rounds. The fight was a close one, with two judges scoring it 48-47 Robocop, and was heated enough to take home Fight of the Night honors.
The accompanying $100,000 might take some of the sting off the loss for Hernandez, who has now lost two straight.
Carli Judice also picked up bonus cash care of her body kick TKO of Jeisla Chaves. The victory marks Judice’s fourth straight, with flyweight “Crispy” earning three post-fight bonuses in that span. She’s almost certain to crack the divisional rankings at 125lbs later this week.
The other Performance of the Night bonus at UFC Sacramento went to MarQuel Mederos, for his standing TKO of Mason Jones.
All four bonus-winners pick up 100K for their efforts, while the night’s other finishers all get $25,000 for their stoppages. Those are Reinier de Ridder, Anthony Wint, Jamall Emmers, Shamil Gaziev, Chris Padilla, Marcio Barbosa, Jackson McVey, and Shanelle Dyer.
