Middleweights Anthony Hernandez and Roman Dolidze are set to fight at UFC 302 on June 1 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Anthony Hernandez and Roman Dolidze are set to clash. The middleweights have agreed to a bout at UFC 302 on June 1. The venue? Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. That’s the plan, at least.
This isn’t just a rumor. The news was confirmed to MMA Fighting on Monday. The sources? Multiple insiders with knowledge of the promotion’s plans.
Hernandez is on a roll. He’s won five consecutive fights, making waves in the 185-pound division. His recent performances? Impressive, to say the least.
Remember his last fight? He halted Roman Kopylov‘s momentum with a second-round submission. The event? UFC 298 in February. Hernandez is hoping to keep that winning streak alive come June.
On the other side of the Octagon, Dolidze is looking to bounce back. He’s on a two-fight losing streak, including a majority decision loss to Nassourdine Imavov. That was back in February.
Before this rough patch, Dolidze was on a tear. He had four straight wins, including knockouts of Jack Hermansson and Phil Hawes. Can he turn things around?
The Hernandez vs. Dolidze fight is just one of many exciting matchups at UFC 302. The main event? Still a mystery. But one thing’s for sure: the lineup is shaping up to be a must-watch.
