Cory Sandhagen vs. Rob Font ~ Main Event
Going head-to-head at a 140-pound catchweight, the prime-time face-off between Cory Sandhagen and Rob Font remains a vital showdown in the bantamweight division.
Sandhagen, who was initially planned to go up against the rising sensation Umar Nurmagomedov, has recorded back-to-back triumphs heading into this one. After defeating Song Yadong with a stoppage in September 2022, he continued his winning streak with a split decision victory over Marlon “Chito” Vera in March. The Elevation Fight Team member is 9-3 inside the Octagon with six finishes, he has suffered defeats exclusively against former bantamweight champions.
Slated for a bout against Song in two weeks as the UFC makes its way back to Boston, Font decided to go to Nashville and push ahead in the divisional rankings instead.
Having just earned a first-round stoppage win over Adrian Yanez that ended a two-fight losing streak and solidified his position in the division, the proud new father is determined to pick up the epic conquest over the course of his career in Nashville this weekend.
With the bantamweight championship at stake in UFC 292, this serves as a crucial bout to assess each fighter’s position on the verge of the final third of 2023 and creates a competitive and captivating matchup between two 135-pound stalwarts that promises to be an excellent conclusion to this weekend’s fight card.
As the lights dim and the crowd roars, UFC on ESPN 50 promises to be an extraordinary conclusion to this weekend’s fight card, giving fans electrifying action and championship-caliber fights.
Who are you rooting for? Sandhagen or Font?
Buckle up and stay tuned!
