"Fluffy" is one of UFC's most underappreciated success stories. Hernandez lost two of his first three UFC fights before embarking on an eight-fight win streak. The first hint of his rebellious new fighting style came after he submitted Rodolfo Vieira, regarded as arguably the greatest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu heavyweight of his generation.

Hernandez became the first man to finish Dolidze, dismissing the cage-side judges with a vicious, fourth-round rear-naked choke. It was an extremely impressive performance, and his eighth victory in a row. With so much momentum behind him, he will face only the best middleweights in the world from here.

The main even of UFC Vegas 109 was a pivotal middleweight bout between top-ranked contenders Roman Dolidze and Anthony Hernandez.
