Rob Font, Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan

The Bantamweight contest between former UFC champion Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling didn’t go as expected at UFC 259. After being ahead in the scorecards Yan landed an illegal knee in the fifth round that led him to lose his title.

Rob Font, who is ranked number 3 in the division, was paying close attention to the fight. In his latest interview with What the heck, Font says, “I figured it would play out like that, I was curious to see how Aljamain would do in the first two rounds and if he would be able to keep that pace up.”

“He was doing all right. He wasn’t landing much but he was definitely busy. I was impressed by how patient Yan was, but I also saw some holes, saw some good things. Overall, I thought that fight was okay, I guess. Then, obviously, you got the ending.”

“But I wasn’t too impressed with Aljamain except for the fact he could keep pushing the pace. If anything, I was a little more impressed with how slick Yan was with his takedowns, his little trips, and all that.”

“It was a tough fight. They did their thing, I just want them to hurry up and do the rematch so they can get out the way so I can get myself in there. I’m just thinking I have to wait a lot longer, man,”

“But I was also confused with what was going on. Once it got to that two-minute mark, I was like, ‘There’s no way he’s getting back up and fighting. How does this play out?’ But it played out the way it played out so it looks like I got to wait a little longer, find out who I’m fighting and they got to do this again.”

“I’m just a little upset, man. Like, sh*t, hurry up. Let’s move this division on.”

Font, is on a three-fight win streak and he knows the depth of the Bantamweight division is so deep. With contenders like T.J. Dillashaw, Cory Sandhagen, Cody Garbrandt, and Jose Aldo waiting in the division he wants to fight with one of them next.

Font added, “I say you do T.J. vs. Sandhagen, book the rematch for the title and give me Cody Garbrandt, Make a Supercard for the 35ers.”

“The rumor is May. I’m looking at May, hopefully. I’m looking at a guy like Cody Garbrandt, maybe Jose Aldo, but I’m looking at May. Just waiting for that contract.”
