Routed in main event loss
Font lost to Cory Sandhagen via unanimous decision (45-50, 45-50, 45-50) at UFC on ESPN 50 on Saturday in Nashville.
ANALYSIS
It's going to be quite a while before we see a UFC main event as lopsided as this one. Font agreed to step in here for an injured Umar Nurmagomedov (shoulder) in mid-July. As a result, a fight between two natural bantamweights was contested at a catchweight of 140 pounds. The problem with that for Font is that Sandhagen is gigantic for 135 pounds. Unable to defend a takedown, Rob spent nearly the entire five rounds on his back. In a bout that lasted 25 minutes, Font was credited with nine (that is not a misprint) significant strikes landed. Simply put, the deck was stacked against Font here before things even began, and it only got worse once the bell rang. Rob is now 36 years of age and is just 1-3 in his past four bouts, but the company would never risk sending him packing after he bailed them out and agreed to fight here. Font does need to win his next time out, however.

New fight scheduled
Font will fight Cory Sandhagen in a five-round catchweight bout at UFC Nashville on Aug. 5, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Font was supposed to fight Yadong Song at UFC 292, but the latter withdrew. Meanwhile, Sandhagen was scheduled to fight Umar Nurmagomedov before the latter withdrew with a shoulder injury. It made sense for the UFC to pair the available top-seven bantamweights against each other. But with less than three weeks to go before UFC Nashville, Sandhagen-Font will be a catchweight bout so that neither, but particularly the latter, needs to worry about a drastic weight cut after the sudden change of plans.
