All 26 fighters on the UFC Sacramento card made weight in Sacramento, California on Friday, clearing the path for a full 13-bout card headlined by middleweight contenders Anthony Hernandez and Gregory Rodrigues.

Hernandez and Rodrigues are both required to weigh no more than 186 pounds for their non-title middleweight clash. Hernandez enters the fight ranked No. 5 at middleweight in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings — tied with Caio Borralho — after an eight-fight win streak was snapped by Sean Strickland. Rodrigues sits at the fringe of the rankings at No. 15, making this a significant step-up opportunity for the Brazilian.

In the co-main event, top-10 heavyweight Serghei Spivac takes on Vitor Petrino, with both men permitted to weigh up to 266 pounds.

The main card also features Reinier de Ridder against Roman Dolidze, MarQuel Mederos versus Mason Jones, Carli Judice against Jeisla Chaves, and Terrance Chatman facing Anthony Wint.

The preliminary card is headlined by Jamall Emmers against Lerryan Douglas and also includes Kennedy Nzechukwu vs. Shamil Gaziev, Chris Padilla vs. Nasrat Haqparast, Marcio Barbosa vs. Ryan Kuse, Gauge Young vs. Stan Dorsainvil, Wes Schultz vs. Jackson McVey, and Shanelle Dyer vs. Elise Reed.
