A demanding main event
Hernandez is known for sustained pressure and grappling, while Rodrigues brings power in the middleweight division. The result established Rodrigues as the winner after a complete main event, without an early finish to settle the matchup.
The event’s official report confirms the date and outcome. The result can frame subsequent discussion of both fighters, but it does not by itself identify a next opponent or change a championship status.
The card included a unanimous heavyweight decision for Vitor Petrino over Serghei Spivac and stoppages for MarQuel Mederos and Carli Judice. Rodrigues–Hernandez was the five-round main event and the most extended contest among these featured results.
The official result lists the judges’ scores alongside the event card, which also had several undercard stoppages. The five-round decision remained the central result of the Sacramento main event.
