Middleweights collide in the main event from Sacramento Aug 22, 2026 at 2:00 pm ET • 3 min read UFC is back in Sacramento. It's the first time the promotion has been back in the capital city of California since July 2019. In the main event, veteran middleweights are set to throw down when Anthony Hernandez takes on Gregory Rodrigues. "Fluffy" Hernandez is coming off a difficult loss to Sean Strickland in February that halted a eight-fight win streak. A win over "Robocop" on Saturday could get Hernandez right back into the title conversation. Rodrigues enters on a three-fight win streak and with victories in six of his last seven.
