1 month agoon

The Octagon returns to the Golden 1 Center for tonight's UFC Sacramento event, a 13-bout fight card headlined by Anthony Hernandez vs. Gregory Rodrigues.
Hernandez (15-3 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since suffering a third-round TKO loss to reigning middleweight champion Sean Strickland this past February. Prior to that setback, ‘Fluffy' has strung together an impressive eight-fight winning streak, a stretch which included victories over Michel Pereira, Roman Dolidze and Brendan Allen.
Meanwhile, Gregory Rodrigues (19-6 MMA) will enter tonight's headliner sporting a three-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming by way of knockout over Brunno Ferreira this past March at UFC 326. ‘Robocop' has gone 4-1 over his past five Octagon appearances overall, with his lone loss in that stretch coming against Jared Cannonier.
UFC Sacramento is co-headlined by a heavyweight contest featuring Serghei Spivac taking on Vitor Petrino.

Spivac (18-6 MMA) was most previously seen in action this past February at UFC Houston, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Ante Delija. That win snapped a two-fight losing skid for the ‘Polar Bear', who had dropped fights to Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Jailton Almeida in his prior Octagon appearances.
Meanwhile, Vitor Petrino (14-2 MMA) will enter this evening's co-main attraction sporting a three-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming over Steven Asplund this past March in Las Vegas. Prior to that decision win, ‘Cabuloso' was coming off back-to-back stoppage victories against opponents Austen Lane and Thomas Petersen respectively.
Also featured on this evening's UFC Sacramento main card lineup is a highly anticipated light heavyweight bout featuring Reinier de Ridder taking on Roman Dolidze.
De Ridder (21-4 MMA) will enter the contest with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. ‘RDR' is coming off losses to Caio Borralho and Brendan Allen in his most recent Octagon appearances. Prio to those setbacks, the former ONE champion had put together a five-fight winning streak, which included victories over Bo Nickal and Robert Whittaker.
Meanwhile, Roman Dolidze (15-5 MMA) will also be looking to snap a two-bout losing skid this evening in California. ‘The Caucasian' is coming off defeats to tonight's headliners Anthony Hernandez and Gregory Rodrigues in his most recent efforts. Prior those setbacks, Dolidze had won three straight fights over Anthony Smith, Kevin Holland and Marvin Vettori respectively.

Marvin Vettori makes major change following 4 straight UFC losses
Published

October 2, 2026
Vettori has changed things up in an attempt to snap his losing
streak.
Vettori (19-10) has lost four fights in a row in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship and is scheduled to face
Ismail
Naurdiev (25-8) at UFC
332 on Oct. 3 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The Italian
recently revealed that he has parted ways with
American Top Team and returned to
Kings MMA.
Beneil Dariush takes over as Vettori’s head coach ahead of UFC
332
While Vettori has no complaints about ATT, he believes the gym
wasn't getting the best out of him. The former title challenger has
returned to his roots in California, where he trained during his
ascent through the middleweight ranks. While the Kings MMA team he
previously trained with no longer exists in the same form, Vettori
said he is now training with Beneil
Dariush as his head coach.
“I made some changes… I'm back in California,†Vettori told MMA
Fighting. “I had to find myself again and I did. I feel good. I’m
actually excited to fight… I went back to my roots and went back to
what made me the fighter who won five in a row and fought for the
title… ATT, I've got nothing but great things to say. I feel like
it wasn't getting the best out of me… [My new team] is not Kings
MMA like the one that was before; that doesn't even exist anymore.
I have been training with Beneil Dariush as a head coach. And I
went back to my boxing coach, my S&C coach.â€
Vettori trained at Kings MMA from 2015 to 2022 before a brief stint
at
Xtreme Couture. “The Italian Dream†then moved to Florida in
2023 to train at ATT.

Vettori went back to his original team with Beneil
Dariush to “find himself again” ahead of #UFC332:“I’m actually excited to fight. … I went back to my roots and went
back to what made me the fighter who won five in a row and fought
for the title.”(🎥 @JoseYoungs)

Imanol Rodriguez eyes Joshua Van: ‘First, Ill go for his friend’

Rodriguez already has another fight in mind beyond his upcoming
Ultimate Fighting Championship bout.
Rodriguez (7-0) will face Alden Coria
(13-3) on Oct. 3 on the prelims of UFC
332 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The unbeaten
Dana White's Contender Series graduate wants to break into the
Top 15 at 125 pounds by the end of 2026 and is targeting a ranked
opponent later this year.
Imanol Rodriguez plans to pursue Joshua Van after facing Alden
Coria at UFC 332
In a pre-fight interview ahead of UFC 332, Rodriguez expressed his
desire to face a ranked opponent if he defeats Coria. The
26-year-old wants to return to the Octagon in December and is
targeting a “clean†performance Saturday that would allow him to
make a two-month turnaround.
“I have a plan for this year and that’s to fight again in
December,†Rodriguez said. “So, this is a win that needs to be
clean. And I want to call out some people on the rankings and see
somebody up in the rankings that I can fight.â€
Rodriguez has also set his sights on flyweight champion Joshua Van,
Coria's teammate.
“I think Joshua Van will be in the corner of Alden Coria, so I
think he’s going to see that if we cross paths, he’s going to have
a tough fighter ahead of him, a tough challenge,†Rodriguez added.
“First, I’ll go for his friend and then I’ll go for him.â€
Rodriguez has finished all seven of his professional victories,
including six by knockout and one by submission, and is 1-0 in the
UFC. Meanwhile, Coria is 3-0 in the UFC and is riding a seven-fight
unbeaten streak.
“I do believe (Coria) is just a step I have
to take.â€Imanol
Rodriguez is keen to show he is top-15 material ahead of his
second trip to the Octagon in Salt Lake City. #UFC332Fight by Fight Preview âž¡ï¸: https://t.co/Sw9Lgv3uJ3 pic.twitter.com/9ot7ZR6dUW
