UFC adds Brendan Allen vs. Anthony Hernandez rematch to Feb. 22 lineup

Brendan Allen and Anthony Hernandez will run things back seven years later.

Allen (24-6 MMA, 12-3 UFC) meets Hernandez (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) Feb. 22 at a UFC Fight Night event in a location and venue that has yet to be announced. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie following an initial report from MMA Mania.

Allen and Hernandez fought for the vacant LFA middleweight title in January 2018, where Hernandez won the bout by unanimous decision. "Fluffy" ended up signing with the UFC in his next fight, where he has now strung together a six-fight winning streak – most recently a Performance of the Night TKO of Michel Pereira in his first UFC main event in October.

Meanwhile, Allen is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Nassourdine Imavov this past September at UFC Fight Night 243. Prior to that, the 28-year-old won seven straight, five of them coming by submission.

With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for Feb. 22 includes:

• Macy Chiasson vs. Ketlen Vieira

• Edson Barboza vs. Steve Garcia

• Brendan Allen vs. Anthony Hernandez
