“I do think the experience is going to play a factor, specifically in the second or third round,” Font said. “Ideally, he is going to come out fast, he is going to come out guns blazing in the first round. I think that’s going to be his age, his youth, his willingness to want to get into a fight and prove himself, take my ranking and make a name for himself. My job is to go out there, capitalize on his mistakes and make him feel like the younger fighter.”
Saturday’s fight card marks a special night, as UFC hosts its third Noche UFC card on Mexican Independence Day weekend, this time in San Antonio. To be able to compete on this card is a special occasion, but to also be featured in the co-main event is something that Font is proud of, and he plans to make the most of it.

“This a big card,” Font said. “I’ve been in Texas for about six weeks now and I’m loving Texas. It’s been awesome out here. To have the Mexican fanbase, I’m the Puerto Rico fighter coming in, this is a classic matchup. I plan on performing, hunting for that bonus and getting my hand raised.”
