UFC Fight Night returns with middleweight title implications. Former UFC champion Sean Strickland looks to get back on track against one of the sport’s top rising contenders, Anthony Hernandez, on Feb. 21.

Strickland returns one year after losing his middleweight title rematch to Dricus du Plessis. His status in the division could put him on reigning champ Khamzat Chimaev’s radar if Strickland overcomes Hernandesz. “Fluffy” is long overdue for a marquee fight. Hernandez is on an eight-fight winstreak with six finishes. Most recently, he became the first person to stop ranked middleweight Roman Dolidze.

A fan-favorite spectacle headlines the next numbered event. BMF champion Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira are set to headline UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas. One more Fight Night is sandwiched between Strickland vs. Hernandez and UFC 326. Former two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno returns to Mexico against short-notice replacement Lone’er Kavanagh, filling in for an injured Asu Almabayev.
