Main Card Results | UFC Sacramento

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Rodrigues, awarding “Robocop” the unanimous decision win and a fourth consecutive victory overall. The Brazilian should climb into the Top 10 on the strength of this win, while Hernandez has to go back to the drawing board once more after suffering a second straight defeat.

The two men spent the first five minutes battling on the feet, with Petrino’s power giving him a slight edge in the exchanges. Surprisingly, it was Petrino who pursued the grappling, taking Spivac down in both the second and third, forcing him to carry his weight while chipping away with short shots before the exhausted heavyweights had little to offer down the stretch.

Petrino earned a clean sweep of the scorecards to advance to 4-0 since shifting to the heavyweight division, but this wasn’t the kind of performance that is going to do him any favors going forward. Set to turn 29 on Friday, Petrino is now 10 fights into his UFC career and needs to show further development if he wants to make real waves in the heavyweight ranks going forward.  

This was a dominant effort from “RDR” that was aided by questionable decision-making early from Doldize, who pulled guard to chase leg locks with the talented Dutch standout. Once de Ridder was able to clear the attacks, he unloaded, dropping a non-stop barrage of strikes on the stuck Georgian, who ultimately got flattened out and finished.

After an excellent start to his UFC career, de Ridder faltered in his last two appearances at middleweight, prompting a move up to the 205-pound ranks, where he earned gold in ONE Championship and looked outstanding on Saturday night. The light heavyweight division just got another contender to consider, and de Ridder just got a new start.

After a non-stop five minutes to start the contest where both men had their moments, Jones looked to be building momentum early in the second, only for Mederos to shift the momentum in a flash, landing a right hand that put “The Dragon” on skates and opened the door for the Contender Series grad to swarm. Mederos continued to unload and land flush, battering Jones, who somehow managed to stay upright, prompting referee Jason Herzog to step in and save the Welshman from any further punishment.

Mederos is now 4-0-1 inside the Octagon and riding an 11-fight winning streak overall, which is tied for the second longest unbeaten streak in the division, along with Tom Nolan and Arman Tsarukyan and one back of both Chris Padilla and Quillan Salkilld. The MMA Lab product called for a top 15 opponent or a date with veterans Beneil Dariush or Chris Duncan, both of which sound like solid next steps for the surging DWCS alum. 

The Louisiana native was quick to close the distance and get into her bag, stalking Chaves and peppering her with clean strikes from range. As the Brazilian stood along the fence, Judice buried her toes into the midsection and folded Chaves over, ending the fight in an instant.

That’s now four straight wins and three finishes for “Crispy” since dropping a split decision in her promotional debut. She’s making steady progress up the flyweight ranks and should be looking at a date with some sporting a number next to their name soon if she keeps this up.

There were dicey moments for Wint, who earned his contract last week on the opening episode of Season 10 of Dana White’s Contender Series, as Chatman threatened with a kimura when the two first hit the canvas. But Wint worked free and looked to land from top position, eventually clamping onto the fight-ending choke in the final minute, putting Chatman to sleep while still working from a knee-on-belly position.

Admittedly still green, this was a good first showing for Wint, who is the second heavyweight with NFL ties in as many years to matriculate to the UFC from Contender Series and show promise. Now 8-0 as a professional, it’ll be interesting to see how quickly the promotion decides to push the promising heavyweight prospect.
