Anthony Hernandez and Gregory Rodrigues will meet at middleweight in the main event of UFC Fight Night at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center on August 22, with several further bouts now confirmed for the card.

Hernandez enters the fight looking to rebound from his February loss to Sean Strickland, while Rodrigues arrives on a three-fight winning streak and chasing a fourth consecutive victory.

In the co-main event, Reinier de Ridder steps up to light heavyweight to face Roman Dolidze at 205 pounds. The move comes after back-to-back middleweight defeats for the Dutchman — losses to Brendan Allen and Caio Borralho — and he will face an opponent who is also carrying a two-fight losing skid into the bout.

The heavyweight division features two matchups on the card: Serghei Spivac takes on Vitor Petrino, and Kennedy Nzechukwu meets Shamil Gaziev. At the opposite end of the weight spectrum, two women’s strawweight contests have been added — Carli Judice vs. Jeisla Chaves and Shanelle Dyer vs. Elise Reed. Contender Series signee Wes Schultz is also booked, facing Jackson McVey at middleweight.

Further bouts are expected to be announced in the coming weeks ahead of the August 22 event.
