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.
