Despite being one of the highest-ranked middleweights in the world, Hernandez (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is largely unplugged from the MMA scene. He has a low-key social media presence and doesn’t research the odds or other divisional happenings.

Talking about the main event, veteran Pereira brings a wealth of experience with 31 wins, 11 losses, and 2 no-contests. Meanwhile, Hernandez has a record of 12 wins, 2 losses, and 1 no-contest.
