Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Rob Font after UFC on ESPN 35 loss?

(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Marlon Vera after UFC on ESPN 35 win?)

Rob Font toughness was on display in the UFC on ESPN 35 main event, but ultimately he couldn’t find a path to victory against Marlon Vera.

After being on a four-fight winning streak just five months ago, Font (19-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) is now stuck on back-to-back losses after dropping a unanimous decision to Vera (19-7-1 MMA, 13-6 UFC) in the matchup of bantamweight contenders at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Font’s inability to avoid getting rocked by big shot proved problematic in his past two fights against Vera and Jose Aldo. Now he must determine his best path forward to get back on track.

What does the loss mean for Font? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after UFC on ESPN 35.
