 Rob Font vs Aljamain Sterling: How does it play out?

When the New England Cartel standout spoke to the media following his main event win, he was asked to preview his future. When asked to break down bouts against Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan, it appeared as though the Sterling fight intrigued him. Font explained that ‘Funkmaster’ could pose a more interesting match-up.

Font said, “I think Aljamain might be a tougher puzzle to solve. Petr Yan, similar to Cody, you know stay long, long jab and let him run into something big. Aljamain is a little trickier because of the wrestling, his length. I think Aljamain same thing, it will be boxing him up, stop a couple takedowns, and just straight box him up. Same thing for Petr Yan, it will just be not get hit with but shots and just boxing him up as well.”

Sterling took to social media and responded to Font’s aforementioned statements by simply choosing to co-sign it. Additionally, the undisputed bantamweight champion sent out positive wishes to both men who competed.

The bantamweight division is primed for an exciting shake-up once the UFC officially sets the title fight between Sterling and Petr Yan. Apart from Font, the winner of TJ Dillashaw and Cory Sandhagen are waiting in the wings to secure a title shot. No matter how the match-making shakes out there are plenty of bangers in the pipeline.
