Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight sluggers Rob Font and Marlon Vera will go to war TONIGHT (Sat., April 30, 2022) at UFC Vegas 53 inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Font put together an excellent four-fight win streak to climb up the ladder into the Top 5, marking himself an unlikely title threat. Unfortunately, his five-round war with Jose Aldo got away from him, setting Font back a couple steps … and a disastrous weight cut yesterday doesn’t help, either (details here). A semi-recent loss to Aldo is also one of the few marks against Vera in the last few years, as he’s largely been crushing his opposition in bonus-winning fashion. Winner of eight of his last 10 bouts, Vera has been consistently improving since joining the roster in 2014 and now looks ready to make his run toward the top.

Top 10 Bantamweight Contenders Collide! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., April 30, 2022, with a thrilling Bantamweight contenders’ bout that will see No. 5-ranked Rob Font take on No. 8-seeded Marlon Vera. UFC Vegas 53’s co-main event will see former UFC Heavyweight champion, Andrei Arlovski, go for his fourth consecutive win when he locks horns with Jake Collier.

This is a fight between two men who really do their best work on the front foot. Case in point: both men have losses earlier in their careers where John Lineker simply bullied them, and they looked very uncomfortable skirting the edges of the Octagon. Though each man has grown his skill set significantly since, that stylistic preference remains.

As the puncher in this match up, Font should be even more motivated to walk down his opponent. He has to fight his way through the kicking range and find the pocket, where his combinations are generally a bit sharper. Font is tough enough to walk through plenty of kicks, but a better strategy would be looking to parry Vera’s front kicks then close ground and fire as Vera recovers his stance.

In addition, it’s important that Font take his right hand to the body. Vera likes to wear down his opponent’s with body work, so Font has to make a point to do attritional damage as well.
