The Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s return to Sacramento is now official following the UFC Fight Night 285 weigh-ins.
The main event of UFC Sacramento will see middleweight contender Anthony Hernandez take on tested veteran Gregory Rodrigues. Both men had no issue making weight for the five-round fight. In fact, all 26 fighters on the card successfully hit their marks.
Hernandez (15-3, 1 NC) is looking to bounce back after a deflating TKO defeat to Sean Strickland earlier this year. The setback derailed an impressive eight-fight win streak for “Fluffy.” The American is just 32, so he’ll look to grow from the defeat to the now-champion. Hernandez weighed in at 186 pounds on the dot.
Rodrigues (19-6) is the older fighter at 34 years old, but is riding a three-fight win streak. “RoboCop” most recently knocked out Brunno Ferreira in impressive fashion. The Brazilian has won six of his last seven fights. Rodrigues weighed 185 pounds exactly for his second UFC main event.
UFC Sacramento will air in its entirety on Paramount+. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, while the prelims begin at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
