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.

Roman Dolidze and Anthony Hernandez are keeping their names at the forefront one week before UFC 319. Doldize and Hernandez headline Saturday's UFC Fight Night shortly before UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev meet.
