Anthony Hernandez trains with Sean Strickland ahead of UFC Sacramento

UFC middleweight Anthony Hernandez trained with champion Sean Strickland ahead of his headlining assignment, highlighting a notable camp update within the division. The session precedes UFC Fight Night 285 and involves Hernandez working alongside Sean Strickland after their February 2026 bout. Anthony Hernandez is slated to face Gregory Rodrigues in Sacramento in August, with the current rankings listing Hernandez at No. 6 and Rodrigues at No. 12. Hernandez thanked the team for "tips and tricks," while Strickland responded, "6 weeks of fun!" Hernandez's eight-fight win streak ended earlier this year via third-round TKO in Houston, followed by a respectful post-fight moment that preceded this training linkup.
