UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Aldo Betting

Rob Font (19-4, 9-3 UFC)

Font came into the UFC with a record of 10-1 and he has nine wins and three losses in the UFC. In his last six fights, he has five wins and one loss. He defeated Thomas Almeida by TKO, Sergio Pettis by unanimous decision, Ricky Simón by unanimous decision, Marlon Moraes by TKO, and Cody Garbrandt by unanimous decision; while losing to Raphael Assunção by unanimous decision.

Font said this to mmafighting.com about his upcoming fight against Aldo, “We’re dealing with a mature veteran. We’re dealing with a whole different type of experience, I assume a whole different level of calmness, and he’s won a lot, and has been beaten up before. If you go back-to-back fights with Max Holloway, you know how to get hit and deal with punches; deal with being rocked and when you’re hurt a little better than most people. He’s not going to panic if I hurt him. He won’t do anything drastic if I hurt him because that experience will be there. I just have to be a little smarter and sharper than him. It’s a really interesting puzzle to try and figure out. Tyson [Chartier] is on it, and I read the game plan twice a day. I know the game plan, I know what I need to do, it’s just about putting in the work, getting my cardio up the best that I can, and just going out there and executing.”

Jose Aldo (30-7, 12-6 UFC)

Aldo said this to mmafighting.com about his upcoming fight against Font, “We both fight forward, and he also has an aggressive style and is on a roll just like me. I’ll always respect every athlete no matter who they are, if it’s a striker or a wrestler or a grappler. It doesn’t matter; I’ll always respect them and study them the best way possible. Their best attacks, their worst attacks, and come up with a strategy based on that. He has his qualities, we have to respect him, but, of course, I’ll study him and impose my game and rhythm when the time comes, so that way we’ll be closer to the victory.”

UFC Picks

We know that Font and Aldo are both very tough fighters so I think it is going to be hard for either of them to get a finish in this fight. Only one of Font’s last five fights have ended with a finish, while Aldo has only had one of his last five fights end in a finish. I will lay the small price and take the rounds to go over the total.
