UFC FN: Dolidze vs Hernandez (Predictions)

UFC Fight Night returns this Saturday, August 9, 2025, live from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main card begins at 4:00 PM PDT and features a middleweight clash between Roman Dolidze and Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez.

Now that we’ve got the formalities out of the way—let’s be honest, this card has more potential chaos than a piñata at a kid’s birthday with no adult supervision. The headliner? Roman Dolidze, fresh off a tough loss to Nassourdine Imavov, looking to prove he’s still got the goods. On the other side, Anthony Hernandez, a man who treats oxygen like it owes him money, smothering opponents until they question their life choices. This isn’t chess. It’s bumper cars with fists, and the question is whether Dolidze’s precise striking can keep him upright—or if Fluffy turns this into another high-pressure meltdown. Spoiler: we’re not expecting polite jabs and handshakes.
And the undercard? Equally tasty. Steve Erceg throws down with Ode’ Osbourne in a flyweight battle that could be faster than your Wi-Fi on payday. Iasmin Lucindo tests the grit of veteran Angela Hill, while Andre Fili squares off against Christian Rodriguez in a fight that practically guarantees a “did you see that?” moment. This is one of those nights where the popcorn doesn’t last past the prelims, and you don’t even mind.
