Dolidze, 37, enters the cage on the strength of a three-fight winning streak.

The onetime Legacy Fighting Alliance titleholder last saw action on Feb. 22, when he outpointed Brendan Allen to a unanimous verdict at UFC Fight Night 252. Hernandez, 31, has delivered eight of his 14 career victories by submission.
