Gregory Rodrigues recorded the biggest win of his career so far Saturday when he took out noted contender Anthony Hernandez in the UFC Fight Night 285 main event.

Rodrigues (20-6 MMA, 11-3 UFC) extended his winning streak to four consecutive fights with a unanimous decision triumph over Hernandez (15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) in the middleweight headliner at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, and now the Brazilian cannot be ignored.

Robocop focusing on the body.
Fluffy looking to clinch.
Clear gameplans from both early.

Great body attack from Hobocop early. He's getting the better of these exchanges. Question is how this looks in R2, R3 if it gets there.

Robocop draws first 🎯

Fluffy is a dog! #ufc

— Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) August 23, 2026

Is that a turning point

— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) August 23, 2026

Robocop is like Terence McKinney, only instead of his systems shutting down at the 3 minute mark, Robocop's shut down once the Round 3 bell sounds.

Hernandez flipped a switch and turned into a mauler. Robocop is getting outworked. What a turn of events! #UFCSacramento

Robocop needs to attack the body more when fluffy goes southpaw

— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) August 23, 2026

Wow, Robocop marching forward in R4. Did not expect this

— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) August 23, 2026

This fight is nuts and I can’t believe Fluffy is still in it.

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) August 23, 2026

Fluffy is tough, robocop is just too much!

— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) August 23, 2026

THIS FIGHT IS INSANE 🔥

How are you scoring the #UFCSacramento main event?!

— UFC (@ufc) August 23, 2026

Fluffy needs a finish more than likely. This is insane. Robocop catching a second wind in R4 was not anticipated.

— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) August 23, 2026

What a war. Grueling fight. Way to throw down, gentlemen.

— Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) August 23, 2026

I scored it 49-46, Rodrigues. #UFCSacramento@MMADecisions

legitimate championship performance

— Alexander K Lee (@AlexanderKLee) August 23, 2026

Gregory Rodrigues calls out Dricus Du Plessis after his #UFCSacramento main event. Heard UFC had an appetite for that fight earlier this year but didn't align. We'll see if they rethink if it after they both got headliner wins this summer.
