Rob Font will get his wish to face Raul Rosas Jr.
Font (22-9 MMA, 12-8 UFC) was scheduled to face Rosas Jr. (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 259 co-main event last September, but Rosas Jr. withdrew due to a rib injury. He faced David Martinez instead and lost the bout by unanimous decision.
Prior to facing short-notice replacement Martinez, Font told MMA Junkie Radio that he hoped his fight with Rosas Jr. would get rebooked. The pair have been rescheduled for UFC 326 on March 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Paramount+), the promotion announced Wednesday.
Since suffering his first-career loss to Christian Rodriguez in April 2023, Rosas Jr. has won four consecutive fights, most recently a unanimous decision over Vince Morales at UFC on ESPN 64 last March.
Here is the updated UFC 326 lineup:
- Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira – for BMF title
- Caio Borralho vs. Reinier de Ridder
- Romenito Moicano vs. Brian Ortega
- Brunno Ferreira vs. Gregory Rodrigues
