Last Saturday the Premier promotion returned to the boundaries of the Apex for UFC Vegas 109, led by middle weights Anthony Hernandez and Roman Dolidze.
On Saturday, the UFC returned with their latest Fight Night edition of the recently refurbished UFC Apex, with UFC Vegas 109 at the head of Anthony Hernandez and Roman Dolidze.
Both hunters came in the fight against the back of impressive versions, but it was Hernandez who came at the top after scoring the brutal entry victory in the fourth round.
Together with the impressive versions of 'Fluffy' Hernandez, there were some other striking versions on the main map, so let's play matchmaker for the winners of the main map.

Christian Leroy scored an impressive victory to continue to find his way of 185 pound ranking
The British prospect of the middleweight Christian Leroy Duncan opened the main map in a fight against Eryk differently.
Otherwise came from the back of what potentially is the biggest victory of his career against Chris Weidman, while Duncan also entered the cage on the back of a victory over Andrey Pulyaev.
Although 'Ya Boi' otherwise had the enormous experience advantage, Duncan scored his most impressive victory so far after folding otherwise with a rotating elbow and subsequent ground-and-pound, which caused a horror injury for otherwise.
After such an impressive victory, 'CLD' will be hopeful to earn a chance against a decent opponent.
A fight against someone like Rodolfo Vieira can be logical for the Brit, in what would be a typical striker versus Grapper -Matchup.
The next fight by Christian Leroy Duncan: Rodolfo Vieira
Jean Matsumoto returns to the win column with a closely disputed victory
After such an impressive victory over the Contender series of Dana White, Jean Matsumoto came to the UFC in 2024 as a hot prospect to pay attention to.
The 25-year-old then took two extremely impressive victories not long after and earned himself a huge fight against Rob font. The level of the competition turned out to be a little too much for the Brazilian in his career and he got his first professional loss.
Nevertheless, he returned with a closely split decision gain against Miles Johns last Saturday, who again showed his potential in the Bantam weight division.
Although he is definitely a prospect to pay attention, it would be stupid for the UFC to match him again at an extremely high level of bantam weight, and they have to build it up well.
Someone who recently picked up a victory who could be logical for Matsumoto, is the experienced Davey Grant. Although Grant is dangerous, as his nickname suggests, it would be a good experience for Matsumoto to fight against someone considered a veteran of the sport.
Jean Matsumoto's next fight: Davey Grant
Andre Fili's profit/loss pattern continues as he records the rebound winning
Andre Fili is a hunter who has trouble getting Momentum in the UFC, constantly wins and then loses one.
And last Saturday that pattern continued when he returned to the win -column by beating Christian Rodriguez.
At this point in his career, 'Touchy' Fili probably knows himself that he will not become a title -publishing or even a top 10 -hunter, but he will always be one of the most exciting featherweights to look at Down Down.
A fight between Fili and Nate 'The Train' Landwehr would be one of the most exciting battles that the UFC could put together, and would certainly remove fans from their seats.
Andre Fili's next fight: Nate Landwehr
Iasmin Lucindo gets a huge victory against Angela Hill to rise in the ranking
Iasmin Lucindo is one of the youngest hunters on the Roster, and at UFC Vegas 109 she defeated one of the most experienced veterans on the Roster in Angela Hill.
So far, Lucindo has shown a number of extremely impressive moments of promise in her UFC official period and is still generally considered a potential future title candidate in the Strawweight Division.
Now arranged in the top 10 of the division, a few more victories will place her firmly in the title interview, but her next fight will probably come across a very heavy competition.
With the UFC that returns to Brazil in October, an All Brazilian affair against Mackenzie Dern can be logical for Lucindo if they keep up the division.
Iasmin Lucindo's next fight: Mackenzie Dern
Steve Erceg understands three fights that lose streak with enormous victory
When he came to UFC Vegas 109, 'Astroboy' Steve Erceg admitted that he thought he fought for his UFC track, which he enjoyed a lot.
After having had an early knock -down, ERCEG fought well to come from behind and to score the unanimous decision on Ode Osbourne, his three fights that Skid lost.
After he had given Alexandre Pantoja such a good fight when he controversed him to the title of moisture, his next versions seemed out of character.
The Australian is still in the top 10 in flying weight, and after bouncing back with a victory, he will probably fight against a ranked opponent again.
ERCEG was planned to fight Alex Perez and that is a fight that must then be turned.
The next fight by Steve Erceg: Alex Perez
Anthony Hernandez joins the title interview firmly
'Fluffy' Hernandez's victory over Dolidze has really put him in the neighborhood of the middleweight title interview, especially with Dricus du Plessis who defended his belt against Khamzat Chimaev next week.
After his victory over Dolidze, Hernandez called for the next middleweight title shot, but also stated that if he is not offered, he would like to fight against Reinier de Ridder.
That is a fight that would be completely logical for both hunters, where they both probably need a different victory before they get a title option.
Anthony Hernandez's next fight: Reinier de Ridder
