UFC Sacramento 2026: Rodrigues wins FOTN as Judice earns $100K bonus

Gregory Rodrigues defeated Anthony Hernandez by decision in the UFC Sacramento 2026 main event, which was named Fight of the Night. Carli Judice also received a $100,000 bonus after stopping Jeisla Chaves with a body kick.

Rodrigues won the middleweight contest after five rounds in Sacramento. The Brazilian took both 48-47 scores recorded by two judges in a closely fought bout against Hernandez, who was competing in his home state of California.

The result gave Hernandez a second consecutive defeat. The Fight of the Night award and its accompanying $100,000 provided some financial consolation after he was unable to convert home advantage into victory.

Judice extended her winning run to four fights with her stoppage of Chaves. The flyweight has now collected three post-fight bonuses during that sequence, including the latest reward for her body-kick finish.

MarQuel Mederos collected the other Performance of the Night bonus for his standing stoppage of Mason Jones. Like the other three bonus winners, he received $100,000.

The remaining fighters who finished their bouts were awarded $25,000 each. That group included Reinier de Ridder, Anthony Wint, Jamall Emmers, Shamil Gaziev, Chris Padilla, Marcio Barbosa, Jackson McVey and Shanelle Dyer. The UFC’s return to Sacramento was the promotion’s first visit to the California city since 2019.
