Anthony Hernandez vs. Roman Dolidze Expected to Headline UFC Event on Aug. 9

A middleweight clash pitting Anthony Hernandez against Roman Dolidze is expected to serve as the main event for an Ultimate Fighting Championship card on Aug. 9.

Hernandez confirmed the pairing after RealKevinK initially brought word of the bout on social media. The UFC Fight Night event will likely be held at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Hernandez has won seven consecutive Octagon appearances. Most recently, “Fluffy” outpointed Brendan Allen at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22. Hernandez has finished five of his seven opponents during his current winning streak, which also includes victories over the likes of Michel Pereira, Roman Kopylov and Edmen Shahbazyan.
