About this episode

Jim Norton and Matt Serra preview UFC Sacramento with guests Anthony Hernandez and Roman Dolidze discussing their upcoming fights and weight class changes.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra look ahead to UFC Sacramento with two ranked fighters competing on Saturday’s main card. First, 6th-ranked middleweight Anthony Hernandez joins ahead of his hometown-adjacent main event against Gregory “RoboCop” Rodrigues. Fighting near his native Dunnigan, California, Hernandez talks about this Saturday’s homecoming, moving camp to Las Vegas to train with Sean Strickland after their fight earlier this year, and his long term vision to build a simpler life for his family. After previewing Saturday’s card and congratulating the latest DWCS contract winners, Jim and Matt welcome Roman Dolidze back to the show. Dolidze discusses his return to 205 pounds after back-to-back losses at 185 pounds and what he makes of Reinier de Ridder as he also changes weight classes. Finally, Jim and Matt lock in their picks for Saturday’s UFC Sacramento card.
