Anthony Hernandez headlines UFC Sacramento against Gregory Rodrigues.
The MMA leader returns to the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, for the first time in more than seven years, with a critical 185-pound clash between local NorCal standout Anthony Hernandez and hard-hitting Brazilian Gregory Rodrigues topping the bill for UFC Sacramento.
Hernandez, the promotion’s number 6 ranked middleweight, steps into his third straight main event assignment. The 32-year-old had reeled off an eight-fight winning streak before running into champion Sean Strickland earlier this year, and he’ll be looking to get back in the win column on home turf.
Standing opposite him is Rodrigues, the number 11 contender, who brings finishing power that has ended fights early throughout his UFC run. A win here would push him firmly into the middleweight title picture.
The co-main of UFC Sacramento pits heavyweight veteran Serghei Spivac against surging Brazilian Vitor Petrino, while former ONE Championship titleholder Reinier de Ridder makes his light heavyweight move against Roman Dolidze elsewhere on the card.
Before tonight’s event, let us take a look at the start times for UFC Sacramento: Hernandez vs Rodrigues in the USA, UK, India, Australia, and around the world.
