This Saturday in Nashville, Tennessee, fans will witness an epic showdown between two top-10 bantamweights, Cory Sandhagen and Rob Font. The highly anticipated 140-pound catchweight main event of UFC Fight Night promises to be a thrilling display of skill and determination.
Sandhagen (16-4) enters the octagon on a two-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory being a split-decision win over Marlon "Chito" Vera in March. Currently ranked No. 5 in the ESPN men’s bantamweight rankings, Sandhagen is known for his relentless pace and ability to control the fight both on the feet and on the ground.
On the other side of the cage, Font (20-6) aims to build on his recent success after breaking out of a two-fight skid. In his last bout, he secured a first-round TKO victory over Adrian Yanez in April, showcasing his boxing skills and knockout power. Font has also made significant improvements in his ground game, making him a well-rounded and dangerous opponent.
The matchup between Sandhagen and Font was not originally planned, as Font stepped in as a late replacement for Sandhagen’s original opponent, Umar Nurmagomedov, who withdrew due to a shoulder injury. Despite the change in opponent, both fighters are eager to prove themselves and climb the bantamweight rankings.
