Can Jose Aldo extend his win streak against Rob Font?
Ever since his loss to Raphael Assuncao, Rob Font has bounced back impressively. He is currently on a four-fight win streak and is on the verge of securing a title shot. His four-fight win streak includes wins over the likes of Sergio Pettis, Marlon Moraes, and most recently Cody Garbrandt.
Font put on a show against Garbrandt as he secured an impressive lopsided unanimous decision win over the former champion. Now, he will be aiming to continue the good run of form against another former champion.
The fight between the two men will most likely stay on the feet, given both men are extremely gifted strikers. Font will have a one-inch reach and height advantage over the former featherweight champion.
