1️⃣ Anthony Hernandez - 40 fantasy cost
My projected outcome: pressure, takedowns, positional dominance, and either a late submission or a strong decision win.
I’m starting with the main event: Anthony Hernandez for 40 fantasy cost. For anyone searching Anthony Hernandez next fight, this is the one that matters.

For method of victory, I’m choosing submission.
If he finishes, I get the method bonus.
If it goes the distance, I still score through control and activity.
