UFC Targeting Rob Font vs. Raul Rosas Jr. for UFC 326

Sources say the UFC plans to pit the rebounding veteran against a surging 21-year-old in a bout that could vault Rosas into the rankings.

Overview

  • MMA Fighting and other outlets report the bantamweight matchup is in the works for March 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the card streaming exclusively on Paramount+.
  • The event is slated to be headlined by Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira in a rematch for Holloway’s BMF title.
  • Font is coming off a unanimous-decision loss to David Martinez after their previously scheduled Noche UFC bout with Rosas fell through due to Rosas’ withdrawal.
  • Rosas enters on a four-fight UFC winning streak at 5-1 in the promotion, most recently defeating Vince Morales by decision last March.
  • Font is listed as a ranked contender, with outlets differing between No. 12 and No. 14, and a Rosas win could push the prospect into the official rankings according to reporting.
