The event goes down on Aug. 22 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. U.S. fans can watch it on Paramount+, with the prelims starting at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PDT, followed by the main card at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PDT.
UFC Sacramento will be headlined by a middleweight matchup between Anthony Hernandez and Gregory Rodrigues. Hernandez (15-3) was riding a stellar eight-fight winning streak, with six finishes, that saw him leave the likes of Roman Kopylov, Michel Pereira, Brendan Allen and Roman Dolidze in his wake.
However, his run ended with a stoppage loss against Sean Strickland this past February. Meanwhile, Rodrigues (19-6) is on a three-fight winning streak with two first-round knockouts. “Robocop” is coming off a brutal first-round knockout win over Brunno Ferreira this past March.
Serghei Spivac (18-6) and Vitor Petrino (14-2) will trade leather in a heavyweight bout in the co-main event at UFC Sacramento. Spivac is coming off an upset win over Tom Aspinall’s highly touted training partner Ante Delija. “The Polar Bear” bounced back from losses against Jailton Almeida and Waldo Cortes-Acosta with the win over Delija. Meanwhile, Petrino is on a three-fight winning streak with two finishes since moving up to heavyweight last year.
The card also features the debut of former New York Jets linebacker Anthony Wint in a heavyweight matchup against fellow debutant Terrance Chatman. Wint just earned his UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series earlier this month and refused to leave Las Vegas without getting his UFC debut booked.
