Wrestling wins fights like this, and Anthony Hernandez, who has won eight of his last nine fights, wrestles better than almost anyone at 185 pounds. He headlines UFC Sacramento against Gregory Rodrigues this weekend. Our Anthony Hernandez vs Gregory Rodrigues match prediction takes Fluffy to win.
Fluffy owns the UFC record for takedowns at middleweight and has finished nine opponents by submission. His pressure is relentless and he pairs that with a seemingly bottomless gas tank, the sort of grappling that drowns strikers over five rounds. Eight straight opponents felt that pace before Sean Strickland edged him in February, and six of those wins were finishes.
But Robocop is no easy night either, especially with 12 knockouts under his belt, thanks to genuine one-punch power that even Hernandez should worry about. Rodrigues himself is on a three-fight win streak, boasting two R1 KO/TKO’s against Jack Hermansson, and lately Bruno Ferreira.
But four of his six losses have come by knockout, and his path to victory runs through keeping an elite wrestler off him. That is a tall order against Hernandez. What’s more, Hernandez fights on home soil in Sacramento, rebuilding after a loss to the champion and eager to reclaim a contender spot. The method is uncertain, but we’re confident Fluffy has this fight in the bag.

Our Anthony Hernandez vs Gregory Rodrigues Prediction
The stats couldn’t look more in favour of Hernandez. Fluffy holds the UFC's middleweight takedown record, has nine submissions, and drowns opponents with a pace few can match over five rounds.
Rodrigues, meanwhile, carries knockout power, but four of his six losses show what happens when he cannot keep the fight standing. Wrestling on home soil, Hernandez should control where this goes and win the later rounds. Hence, our Anthony Hernandez vs Gregory Rodrigues match prediction is that Anthony Hernandez wins.
