Winner: Anthony Hernandez Who He Should Face Next: Ikram Aliskerov

Hernandez notched his fifth straight win in Anaheim, submitting Roman Kopylov in the second round via rear-naked choke (see it here). He now has four of five wins via stoppage, and he is getting closer to getting that ever-elusive rankings spot. He was supposed to face Aliskerov on this card before an illness forced the sambo specialist out of the event. With Aliskerov on a seven-fight win streak and Hernandez on an impressive run of his own, it only makes sense to re-book this fight as soon as possible.
