Anthony Hernandez aims to be in UFC title contention by end of 2025: ‘I’m f*cking ready for it’

Anthony Hernandez is excited to jumpstart 2025 with a big fight.

Hernandez (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) runs things back with Brendan Allen (24-6 MMA, 12-3 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 252 on Feb. 22 from Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Hernandez defeated Allen by unanimous decision to claim the vacant LFA middleweight title in January 2018.

With a fight already booked in February, the streaking Hernandez sees himself a couple of fights away from competing for the UFC middleweight title.
