UFC Vegas 53: Rob Font vs Marlon Vera Prediction and Odds
The fight between Font and Vera is very interesting as both the fighters are 5’8 and have similar reach. Font will go out and march forward against Vera in order to put the early pressure. He will be keeping a high guard and searching for openings to land shots. As the pressure will increase, Font will try to connect more shots and ultimately might outbox Vera.
Vera will mainly focus on keeping the distance and try landing shots from distance. The fighter has been pretty consistent with his leg kicks in his last few fights. He will be trying to destroy the lead leg of Font in the early rounds. But it’s hard to imagine both of them getting a finish at the end.
Prediction for UFC Vegas 53 main event: Font via unanimous Decision
