Roman Dolidze and Anthony Hernandez are keeping their names at the forefront one week before UFC 319. Doldize and Hernandez headline Saturday's UFC Fight Night shortly before UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev meet.

Middleweight contenders Anthony Hernandez vs. Roman Dolidze will go to war TONIGHT (Sat., Aug. 9, 2025) at UFC Vegas 109 inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hernandez is taking the long road to title contention.

Hernandez became the first man to finish Dolidze, dismissing the cage-side judges with a vicious, fourth-round rear-naked choke. It was an extremely impressive performance, and his eighth victory in a row. With so much momentum behind him, he will face only the best middleweights in the world from here.
