UFC 298 results: Anthony Hernandez snatches Roman Kopylov’s neck for deep submission

The California faithful didn’t have many home state representatives Saturday at UFC 298, but Anthony Hernandez was one – and he sent them into a frenzy.

Hernandez (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) defeated Roman Kopylov (12-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) by rear-naked choke submission at 3:23 of Round 2 in a middleweight bout that opened up the main card at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

The fight was competitive throughout, as Kopylov displayed solid takedown defense early. After body kicks and head kicks by Kopylov, Hernandez took the fight to the canvas. He worked to the back and patiently maneuvered for a rear-naked choke.
