In his next title defense, the champion is tasked with the undefeated contender Khamzat Chimaev in UFC 319's main event this Saturday night. After his big win, Hernandez will make the trip to Chicago with the hopes he'll see his next opponent live and in person.

In the main event, Anthony Hernandez defeated Roman Dolidze by submission at 2:45 of Round 4. Over nearly four rounds, Hernandez advanced behind steady pressure and a relentless pace, steering the action toward the fence and forcing prolonged clinch and grappling sequences.

"Fluffy" is one of UFC's most underappreciated success stories. Hernandez lost two of his first three UFC fights before embarking on an eight-fight win streak. The first hint of his rebellious new fighting style came after he submitted Rodolfo Vieira, regarded as arguably the greatest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu heavyweight of his generation.
