In his next title defense, the champion is tasked with the undefeated contender Khamzat Chimaev in UFC 319's main event this Saturday night. After his big win, Hernandez will make the trip to Chicago with the hopes he'll see his next opponent live and in person.

Hernandez (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) made sure to make his intentions clear following his latest win at UFC on ESPN 72 Saturday at the UFC Apex. Hernandez dominated Roman Dolidze (15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) for more than 15 minutes before submitting him in the fourth round in the main event. In a post-fight interview in the cage, he shot his shot.

Roman Dolidze and Anthony Hernandez are keeping their names at the forefront one week before UFC 319. Doldize and Hernandez headline Saturday's UFC Fight Night shortly before UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev meet.
