Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TODAY (Sat., Aug. 22, 2026) with UFC Sacramento<\/a>, streaming live online via Paramount+<\/a>. The event happens at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA. Our main event tonight is Anthony Hernandez vs. Gregory Rodrigues in the Middleweight division.<\/p>\n

The UFC rolls into Sac-Town for the first time in years, tonight. The last time they were here they hung their card on Germaine de Randamie. I think it\u2019s fair to say they\u2019ve come with a better main event this time around with \u2018Fluffy\u2019 vs. \u2018RoboCop\u2019. Despite that fun main event, though, the rest of the card leaves much to be desired.<\/p>\n

This is Hernandez\u2019s first fight since he was stopped by Sean Strickland. Had that not happened, Hernandez would have likely fought for the title. Rodrigues is on a three fight winning streak and just KO\u2019d Brunno Ferreira. Both these guys have lots of wins and finishes in the division. But it also feels like they\u2019ll need more than a win in Sacramento to get back into the 185 lbs. title picture.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the co-main, but the second most interesting fight on the card is Reinier de Ridder vs. Roman Dolidze<\/a>, also in the Middleweight division. Both these guys are miles away from title contention, but they are well-known names at least. De Ridder is coming off losses to Caio Borralho and Brendan Allen. Dolidze is coming off a loss to our headliner, Hernandez.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the main card tonight is Serghei Spivac vs. Vitor Petrino, MarQuel Mederos vs. Mason Jones, Carli Judice vs. Jeisla Chaves and Anthony Wint vs. Terrance Chatman. Jones already had a Fight of the Year candidate, against Axel Sola, earlier this year. Judice and Chaves might also put on a fun brawl. Wint is a super prospect, and former NFL player, who has been fed a total newcomer.<\/p>\n

The featured \u2018Prelim\u2019 is Jamall Emmers vs. Lerryan Douglas. Douglas set tongues wagging with his blistering debut KO over Julian Erosa. The \u2018Prelims\u2019 also boast Chris Padilla vs. Nasrat Haqparast and Kennedy Nzechukwu vs. Shamil Gaziev.<\/p>\n

UFC SACRAMENTO QUICK RESULTS<\/p>\n

UFC SACRAMENTO PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES<\/p>\n

Wes Schultz vs. Jackson McVey: Schultz threw some sloppy striking out early and almost lucked out by dragging McVey down and locking on a guillotine. McVey patiently worked his way out of that. Then, on the feet, McVey was able to show he is the far superior striker. He wore down Schultz with his jab and then put him down with a huge step in knee to the body.<\/p>\n

Official decision: Jackson McVey def. Wes Schultz by TKO (knee to the body, round 1 (4:13)<\/p>\n

Shanelle Dyer vs. Elise Reed: Dyer looked like a buzzsaw in this one. She took the slower, yet more experienced, Reed apart with her Muay Thai. In the second round she caused a big cut on the site of Reed\u2019s head. In the third Reed really poured it on. She upped the intensity and Reed was practically begging for it to be stopped. Dyer finishes the fight landing 116 sig. strikes versus Reed\u2019s 42.<\/p>\n

Official Decision: Shanelle Dyer def. Elise Reed by standing TKO (punches), round 3 (1:42)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TODAY (Sat., Aug. 22, 2026) with UFC Sacramento, streaming live online via…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[152120,121,123,122,174361,152122,152123,174369],"class_list":["post-440746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news","tag-ufc-live-stream","tag-ufc-news","tag-ufc-on-paramount","tag-ufc-results"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
