Gregory Rodrigues Defeats Anthony Hernandez in Sacramento
Gregory Rodrigues defeated Anthony Hernandez by unanimous decision at UFC Sacramento on August 22, 2026. The official scores were 48–47, 49–46 and 48–47 after the middleweight main event went five rounds.
A full-distance main event
Rodrigues earned the judges’ decision after five rounds against Hernandez. Each official scored the fight for Rodrigues, although one card gave him a wider margin than the other two.
The result provides a second event-focused angle on the matchup: the main event tested both fighters over the full distance rather than producing a quick finish. UFC’s scorecards document the precise decision.
The Sacramento card context
The event included heavyweight and lightweight bouts that ended by decision and stoppage. UFC’s official results identify Petrino’s unanimous decision over Spivac, Mederos’s TKO of Jones and Judice’s first-round stoppage of Chaves.
The main event result should remain distinct from those undercard outcomes. UFC’s event report confirms Rodrigues as the winner, while any ranking or title implications require a later official update.
Rodrigues’s win was the five-round main event. The card also included Petrino’s 30–27 heavyweight decision, Mederos’s second-round TKO and first-round finishes by Judice and Wint, providing multiple distinct outcomes around the headliner.
UFC’s scorecards show the three judges did not all choose the same margin, but each favored Rodrigues. That gives the decision a clear winner while preserving the variation in how close the fight appeared to officials.
