Overview

• Anthony Hernandez secured a rear-naked choke at 2:45 of round four to defeat Roman Dolidze in the UFC Vegas 109 main event.
• He overcame a missed first weigh-in attempt by making 186 pounds on his second try and later attributed the mix-up to mistiming.
• The submission snapped Dolidze’s three-fight win streak and is expected to drop him out of the top 10 in the middleweight rankings.
• Dolidze posted on Instagram that he is in good spirits, thanked his team and fans, and vowed to return stronger.
• Hernandez’s finish earned him a $50,000 post-fight bonus and pushes him closer to a potential title eliminator.
