Hernandez alleges Rodrigues grabbed his gloves during UFC Sacramento bout

At UFC Sacramento, middleweights Gregory Rodrigues and Anthony Hernandez fought a five-round contest that secured Fight of the Night recognition. Rodrigues emerged victorious by unanimous decision, marking his fourth consecutive win. In the post-fight press conference, Hernandez alleged that Rodrigues repeatedly grabbed the inside of his gloves—he cited up to four instances—to secure an advantage, and he reported the infractions to referee Herb Dean, who supposedly warned Rodrigues.

Despite the complaint, the decision stood, and Hernandez accepted the loss as his second in a row. Rodrigues, after the win, called out Dricus DuPlessis for a potential future bout, while Hernandez said he would need to regroup.
