MIAMI – Rob Font isn’t one to usually call his shots. But when he looks at the puzzle of the bantamweight division and where he fits after his UFC 287 win, an arriving contender comes to mind as a viable next matchup.
“I would love to do ‘Figgy’ vs. Font, man. (Deiveson Figueiredo), I’d love to introduce him to the 135 division,” Font told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference Saturday at Kaseya Center. “I think that’d be a fun fight. I think I like fighting big names. I definitely don’t want to fight backward, but I think me and him could definitely be a great fight. …
“He’s a former champ. He’s exciting. I know he’s going to talk a lot of sh*t. I think it’d be a great, entertaining type of fight, and I think I need another big name like that.”
