Petr Yan responds to Rob Font callout: ‘You couldn’t even knock Cody No Chin out’

Former UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan doesn’t sound like he’s entertaining a fight with Rob Font just yet.

Font inserted himself into the title picture at 135 pounds with a resounding decision win over another former bantamweight champion, Cody Garbrandt, at UFC Vegas 27 this past Saturday. It was the fourth straight win for Font—a veteran who also holds wins over former World Series of Fighting champion Marlon Moraes and current Bellator champion Sergio Pettis—and in a subsequent interview with MMA Fighting, Font suggested that Yan would be an ideal next matchup for him.
