UFC Sacramento was headlined by a key middleweight matchup pitting Anthony Hernandez against Gregory Rodrigues. The bout proved to be a grueling back and forth affair. Rodrigues got off to a strong start in the contest, battering the lead leg of Hernandez which led to multiple knockdowns over the first two rounds. However, \u2018Fluffy\u2019 was able to storm back in round three and it appeared that the momentum was shifting in his favor headed into the final two rounds. Unfortunately for the hometown favorite, \u2018Robocop\u2019 seemingly caught a second wind in round four and proceeded to continue his onslaught of heavy right hands and low kicks during that five-minute stretch. After an entertaining fifth and final round, Gregory Rodrigues was awarded a much deserved<\/a> unanimous decision win from the judges in attendance.<\/p>\n
