"Fluffy". That's what they call Anthony Hernandez, and is ranked #6 at UFC middleweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 5.9 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.
The last fight went to Sean Strickland (KO/TKO (Punches) R3) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
Next up: Gregory Rodrigues at UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues on August 23, 2026. Circle the date.
