Rob Font: ‘I’m a bad matchup’ for smaller Sergio Pettis
Rob Font (pictured) fights Sergio Pettis in bantamweight bout Saturday at UFC on FOX 31 in MilwaukeeGiven the opportunity to face a top bantamweight contender, Rob Font fell short and there was no telling when he’d get an opportunity like that again.
Little did he know that his very next fight would be against another opponent ranked in the top 5, though in this case it was flyweight star Sergio Pettis.
Font welcomes Pettis back to the 135-pound division Saturday at UFC on FOX 31 in Pettis’s hometown of Milwaukee, and he likes his chances especially considering that Pettis is going to be giving up plenty of size when the two step into the Octagon.
