Pre-fight analysis

A former champion returns at 41 after two years away, three straight defeats and a chin rating of zero — against a man whose own rates 14.

Rafael dos Anjos was the UFC lightweight champion in 2015. He is 41, he turns 42 three weeks after this fight, and the last thing that happened to him in a cage was Geoff Neal knocking him out in ninety seconds in October 2024. He has not fought since. There have been public calls for him to retire rather than take this booking, and the numbers do not argue against them. His composite rating is 4…

Anjos intel

Dos Anjos (32-17) has lost three in a row and has not competed since Geoff Neal knocked him out in the first round in October 2024. He turns 42 in late October. His 0.0 chin rating and 49.0 momentum score are the two lowest figures in this matchup; his 3.28 grappling and 2.38 submission are the two highest he brings.

Hernandez intel

Hernandez (18-9) is 4-1 in his last five, with second- and first-round knockouts of Diego Ferreira and Chase Hooper in 2025, before losing a decision to Rafa Garcia in April 2026. His 90.0 momentum is the strongest number on either side. His 14.0 chin rating is the reason he is never comfortable to back.

Key angles

Dos Anjos' 0.0 chin rating and a two-year layoff at 41 years old

Hernandez's 14.0 chin rating means one dos Anjos counter still ends the night

The grappling gap — 3.28 to 1.20 — is dos Anjos' only route and requires him to close distance

A five-centimetre reach edge and eight-year age edge for Hernandez

Southpaw versus orthodox, and dos Anjos has not solved that puzzle in competition since 2024

Risk flags

Hernandez's own chin is bad enough that no lead is safe — Rafa Garcia and Damon Jackson both showed he can be out-thought as well as out-fought

Former champions with dos Anjos' grappling pedigree have won fights like this on one takedown; writing him off entirely has cost people before
