UFC Fight Night: Anthony Hernandez vs. Gregory Rodrigues – How to Watch Live on Paramount+
The highly anticipated UFC Fight Night event is set to take place on Saturday, August 22, at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. This marks the first time the UFC has returned to the capital city of California since July 2019. The main event features a thrilling middleweight bout between Anthony Hernandez and Gregory Rodrigues, two seasoned fighters looking to make a statement in the Octagon.
‘Fluffy’ Hernandez, a veteran middleweight, is coming off a difficult loss to Sean Strickland in February that halted his impressive eight-fight win streak. A win over ‘Robocop’ Rodrigues on Saturday could propel Hernandez back into the title conversation. Rodrigues, on the other hand, enters the fight on a three-fight win streak and with victories in six of his last seven.
The co-main event promises to be just as electrifying, as heavyweights Vitor Petrino and Serghei Spivac collide in a battle of strength and skill. Petrino, fresh from a three-fight win streak after moving up to heavyweight, is looking to continue his momentum against the resilient Spivac, who bounced back from a pair of defeats with a win in February.
In addition to the thrilling main and co-main events, the fight card also features a clash between former middleweights Reinier de Ridder and Roman Dolidze at light heavyweight, as well as the UFC debut of heavyweight Anthony Wint, who impressed fans with a contract-winning performance on Contender Series against Terrance Chatman.
The event promises to be an unforgettable night of action, with all the fights set to take place at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. Fans can catch all the excitement live on Paramount+, the official streaming home of the UFC.
