UFC Vegas 99: Anthony Hernandez vs. Michel Pereira: Live round-by-round updates

This weekend's UFC fight card at the Apex Facility in Las Vegas features a thrilling middleweight showdown between Anthony Hernandez and Michel Pereira.

Hernandez enters the fight wielding a five-fight win streak with four stoppages. The former Legacy Fighting Alliance middleweight champion recently picked up a second-round submission victory over Roman Kopylov at UFC 298, which solidified his reputation as a formidable force in the division. He's currently ranked No.13 in the middleweight bracket.

Pereira, meanwhile, is undefeated in eight fights, including three straight finishes since moving to middleweight. Known for his dynamic skills and unpredictable style, the Brazilian has refined his approach, trading his wild unpredictability for a more calculated, yet explosive style. Pereira’s impressive octagon resume includes seven post-fight bonuses.

Both fighters are eager to push deeper into title contention with a victory this weekend. The event is set to go down on Oct. 19 with the prelims starting at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT. Meanwhile, the main card is expected to kick off live on ESPN+ at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT.
