The main event of UFC Vegas 109 is an exciting Middleweight clash, but one that the Bloody Elbow experts see as belonging to only one of the competitors.
Two top ten Middleweight contenders face off in a bout that could have huge implications on the division, as Anthony Hernandez looks to add an eighth consecutive victory to his record.
The fighter known as “Fluffy” will have to contend with Roman Dolidze, an impressive Georgian fighter who could be in a make-or-break situation in regards to his chances of being a top Middleweight fighter.
The Bloody Elbow staff has made their predictions about what will happen in the main event of UFC Vegas 109 between Dolidze and Hernandez.

Roman Dolidze vs. Anthony Hernandez predictions
Kye Dimond: “‘Fluffy’ Hernandez is just a nightmare in this division because of his gas tank. I can’t see Roman Dolidze putting him away early, so I’m expecting another middleweight Merab performance.”
PREDICTION: ANTHONY HERNANDEZ VIA DECISION
Ross Markey: “It seems like Anthony Hernandez is riding an almost unstoppable streak at the moment, regardless of who he is matched up with. And whether it’s against similar styles to his own or dynamic strikers, ‘Fluffy’ seems to prevail regardless.
“Against Roman Dolidze, I’m picking Hernandez to endure an early onslaught from the Georgian en route to a late stoppage deep into their headliner.”
PREDICTION: ANTHONY HERNANDEZ VIA STOPPAGE
Hamish Woodward: Anthony Hernandez’s winning streak doesn’t look like it will come to an end at UFC Vegas 109, despite what should be a tough opponent in Roman Dolidze. His seven wins on the bounce must make him the favorite, especially against some impressive fighters like Roman Kopylov and Brendan Allen.
He is a strong finisher who likes to put away fighters in the later rounds, and this bout should be no different. Expect a late finish win for Fluffy to move ever closer to a title fight in the future.
