A middleweight showdown pitting Michel Pereira against Anthony Hernandez is on tap for UFC 306.
Pereira initially announced the booking via social media on Tuesday. UFC 306 — also known as Noche UFC — takes place on Sept. 14 at The Sphere in Las Vegas. The card, which doesn’t yet have a headliner, is expected to be Mexican Independence Day-themed. UFC CEO Dana White has promised to provide a one-of-a-kind experience for the event.
One of the most flamboyant performers in the Las Vegas-based promotion, Pereira has won his last eight Octagon appearances.
