Michel Pereira vs. Anthony Hernandez is in the works
Pereira will face another tough middleweight test in Hernandez, who is riding a lot of momentum inside the Octagon. Riding a five-fight winning streak, Hernandez most recently defeated Roman Kopylov by second-round submission at UFC 298.
Hernandez, a former Dana White’s Contender Series standout, has faced an impressive strength of schedule at middleweight. He’s defeated the likes of Edmen Shahbazyan, Rodolfo Vieira, and Marc-André Barriault during his ongoing win streak.
If the reported booking is officially announced, Pereira vs. Hernandez adds to a budding card at UFC 306. The event will take place at the Las Vegas Sphere, a brand-new venue and likely a one-off destination for the promotion.
UFC 306 marks the return of the promotions’ annual Noche UFC event, marking Mexican Independence Day weekend. The card is also the first to be title-sponsored by Riyadh Season.
