UFC 258 Prelims — Vieira vs. Hernandez Preview
The UFC 258 Prelims is headlined by a feature fight between two UFC Men’s Middleweight fighters, as Rodolfo Vieira and Anthony Hernandez square off.
Rodolfo “The Black Belt Hunter” Vieira (7-0) came from the international grappling wrestling circuit into MMA, and he has already shown that was a smart decision. Vieira is undefeated in MMA, and that includes two fights in the UFC. It’s been nearly a year since his last fight, but he has been trying to stay active. He suffered a rib injury that caused him to withdraw from a planned fight in October, and this fight against Hernandez has already been delayed once due to a positive COVID-19 test by Hernandez. Vieira has a great ground game, which is little surprise given his grappling background. He won his last two fights by submission with triangle arm bars, so keep your eyes on the screen if Vieira takes Hernandez to the ground.
Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez (7-2) also had a hot start to his MMA career, but things have been rocky for him since joining the UFC. Hernandez had a 9-1 career as an amateur fighter, and was 6-0 as a professional when he was brought into Dana White’s Contender Series. Since then, he is 1-2 with a no contest, including a loss in his last fight against Kevin Holland. Hernandez rarely has fights that go to the scorecards, as only one of his ten professional fights has gone past the second round. No matter the outcome, it feels likely that this fight will be exciting but quick.
