Roman Dolidze (15-3) enters UFC Vegas 109 as the No. 9 ranked UFC middleweight. Dolidze joined the fight promotion in July 2020 going 2-1 in his first three outings with the UFC. Dolidze followed a March 2021 decision loss to Trevin Giles with a four-fight winning streak. That run ended with his loss to Vettori. A majority decision setback to Nassourdine Imavov followed.
Dolidze followed that lackluster performance with a decision win over Anthony Smith at UFC 303. In October 2024, Dolidze scored a TKO win over Kevin Holland in a bout where Holland could not continue because of broken ribs. In his most recent outing, a five-round UFC Fight night main event, Dolidze bested former UFC 185-pound title challenger Marvin Vettori by decision.

Anthony Hernandez (14-2-0-1) is riding a seven-fight winning streak ahead of the UFC Vegas 109 fight card.
Hernandez joined the promotion in 2019, opening his UFC run with a 1-2 record. He has not lost since Kevin Holland stopped him via TKO in 2020. Hernandez had back-to-back “Performance of the Night” bonus-winning victories in 2024. In those contests he stopped Roman Kopylov via submission and earned a TKO win over Michel Pereira in a UFC Fight Night main event scrap in October 2024.
In his most recent trip to the Octagon, Hernandez defeated Brendan Allen via decision in February of this year.
Hernandez is the No. 10 ranked UFC middleweight.
