A bantamweight showdown between Rob Font and
Marlon
Vera is expected to serve as the main event for a UFC Fight
Night card on April 30.
The bout is expected to be finalized soon, according to
ESPN. The UFC Fight Night event does not have an official venue
or location as of now, but it is likely to take place in Las
Vegas.
Font had a four-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing,
when he dropped a five-round verdict to Jose Aldo in
the UFC on ESPN 31 headliner on Dec. 4. The 34-year-old Boston
native owns notable wins against the likes of Cody
Garbrandt, Marlon
Moraes, Ricky Simon
and Sergio
Pettis, to name a few.
Vera, meanwhile, has won three of his last four UFC bouts, with his
only defeat during that stretch coming at the hands of Aldo. Most
recently, the 29-year-old Ecuadorian scored a spectacular front
kick KO of Frankie
Edgar at UFC 268.
