BOSTON – Rob Font didn’t expect his wrestling to be a gaping hole against Cory Sandhagen.
Font (20-7 MMA, 10-6 UFC) was taken down seven times and controlled throughout the five rounds in a unanimous decision loss to Sandhagen in the UFC on ESPN 50 headliner. Font was originally scheduled to face Song Yadong in Saturday’s UFC 292 event, but ended up stepping in on short notice vs. Sandhagen to save the Nashville event.
Sandhagen (17-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) was successful in all his takedown attempts, and Font admits that his game plan threw him off.
