Anthony Hernandez on upset win, bonus at UFC 258: ‘Now I can get my kids the house they deserve’

Anthony Hernandez shocked the world at UFC 258—not just because he beat Rodolfo Vieira, but because he submitted the multi-time ADCC champion.

And for those who doubted him, Hernandez was happy to stick it to them all.

“Fluffy” overcame a tough start to the opening round before turning the tables from the heavily favored Vieira at the end of the first. In the second, Hernandez took over, landing a flurry of punches, kicks, flying knees, and elbows that didn’t put the exhausted, yet incredibly durable Vieira away. Finally, Hernandez locked in an arm-in guillotine to force the tap and earn himself a performance bonus in the process.
