Anthony Hernandez is a UFC middleweight fighter who trains out of MMA Gold. Prior to his current stint in the premier promotion, he honed his craft in the Legacy Fighting Alliance, securing the organization's 185-pound title in 2018. A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, Hernandez favors a ground-heavy style inside the cage. His tenure with the UFC has been marked by high-profile triumphs over established names like Marc-André Barriault and Rodolfo Vieira.

Boasting a professional record of 11-2 with one no contest, Hernandez enters this bout carrying momentum from four consecutive wins. His current streak includes a TKO of Edmen Shahbazyan, an arm-triangle submission of Marc-André Barriault, a decision victory over Josh Fremd, and a guillotine choke finish against Rodolfo Vieira. The fighter has remained undefeated since May 2020.
