Anthony Hernandez

MMA Fighting reports that UFC Sacramento has officially added several bouts, including Reinier de Ridder moving to light heavyweight to face Roman Dolidze in the co-main event and Anthony Hernandez meeting Gregory Rodrigues in the headliner. The article also says Serghei Spivac vs. Vitor Petrino, Kennedy Nzechukwu vs. Shamil Gaziev, and multiple women’s strawweight fights were added to the August card. That matters because it sharpens the shape of the Sacramento event and creates meaningful divisional movement, especially for middleweight and light heavyweight contenders. The report suggests the UFC is building depth around two established featured bouts.

UFC president Dana White announced several major 2026 bookings, including Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2 for UFC 329 on July 11 and Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry for UFC 330 on Aug. 15. The announcement also included Dricus du Plessis vs. Kamaru Usman, Magomed Ankalaev vs. Khalil Rountree Jr., and Anthony Hernandez vs. Gregory Rodrigues across the late-summer schedule. The additions matter because they immediately clarify the title picture and give multiple divisions direction heading into the second half of the year. Next, attention shifts to how those matchups are built into the broader summer schedule and whether any of the bouts are adjusted by injuries or contract issues.[4][6]
