UFC’s featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski was amazed by Aldo’s performance, but he also saw some improvements in Font’s name commented, “ I thought it was a bad matchup for Font and he is. But Font really surprised me and I said this also in the breakdown. Good camps are going to change their style, change their game for certain opponents. And this is exactly what fantastic Font did a great job of he mixed it up very well. He started using kicks early on.”

About Font’s strategy, he also said, “So this was a good strategy again from Rob because he wanted to tie Aldo at the same time. So take Aldo’s offense away from it, tie him out, then start being jab heavy and all that type of stuff. But Aldo showed that he did definitely get tired, but he was still pretty effective, especially when Font slowed down a little bit. And then he started using his jab a lot more.”
