LAS VEGAS – Anthony Hernandez wants his shot at the UFC middleweight title.

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.

"Man, I want a title shot," Hernandez said. "What the f*ck do I have to do?"

Speaking with the media backstage, Hernandez doubled down on his intention to be next for the title shot. However, with several top contenders surging at 185 pounds, Hernandez was asked if he had a name in mind should he not get the winner of next week's UFC 319 title bout between Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev.

"When I say I don't give a f*ck who I fight, I'm serious about that sh*t," Hernandez said. "I don't give a f*ck who I fight. I think it would be cool if there was a contender BMF belt or something like that, but I want the f*cking title. That's the only reason I do this sh*t for: To get that money and change my family's life."

Hernandez is now on an eight-fight winning streak and hasn't lost a fight since 2020. The eight-fight run includes six finishes and four $ 50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses.

Despite the impressive streak, "Fluffy" said he disappointed fans in his previous bout with Brendan Allen, but thinks he redeemed himself with the win over Dolidze.

"The f*cking Brendan Allen fight, I came in injured and f*cking sick, and I had a hard weight cut," Hernandez said. "Everything went wrong in that fight and I still went out there and beat him. I wasn't happy with my performance. I still won, yeah, but that wasn't me. I wanted to come out tonight and show people I can do everything. I can walk people down. I can shut people down. I don't care how dangerous you say you are: I'm going to walk you down and beat the f*ck out of you. I don't care who you are."
