Roman Dolidze (15-3-0) versus Anthony Hernandez (14-2-0) is a UFC Middleweight bout on Saturday night at APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dolidze, 37, will come into this bout looking to prove that he still has much fight left in the tank. The Georgian will be keen to extend his three-fight winning streak and improve his #9 ranking in the division. He outlasted Martin Vettori in March this year after winning via decision in the fifth round. Dolidze is the exciting +270 betting underdog.
Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez, on the other hand, is the warm -360 betting favorite on Saturday night. The 31-year-old American will be happy to snap Dolidze’s winning run and continue his own. He has been highly convincing in his last few matchups, with his latest win coming in February this year against Brendan Allen. Hernandez will know that this five-round bout could have possible title implications for late this year and beyond. We could be in for a real treat.

Our Roman Dolidze vs Anthony Hernandez Prediction
This fight has the potential to produce some fireworks. Hernandez is the clear favorite here after delivering five nasty finishes in his previous seven matches. He is known for his relentless pressure and boasts one of the best cardio in the franchise. However, the American tends to start slow in his fights, and Dolidze may want to capitalize on this weakness. “The Caucasian” delivered four KO wins in his last six victories and could pose a threat as long as he has gas in the tank. Still, we expect Hernandez to drain him down and possibly get a late win via submission.
Our prediction for Roman Dolidze vs Anthony Hernandez: Anthony Hernandez to win by submission.
