Veteran bantamweight mainstay, Rob Font, clashes with newcomer David Martinez in the co-main event of NOCHE UFC this Saturday. American Rob Font seemed to have turned a corner with back-to-back victories recently after enduring a poor run of form between 2021 and 2023. He faces David Martinez, who only earned his UFC contract in 2023 and has one fight in the promotion. Martinez stepped up to replace Rob Font's original opponent, who withdrew. Rob Font is a slight favorite ahead of the fight in San Antonio.

Rob Font vs David Martinez Fight Preview
Rob Font: form and statistics
One win from five fights forced the 38-year-old Rob Font to move his camp from the US to Canada. That tweak returned two wins over Kyle Phillips and Jean Matsumoto. The split decision victory over Matsumoto in February showed the resilience of the veteran Rob Font, as Matsumoto was an undefeated prospect coming into the fight. Font was originally booked to fight Raul Rosas Jr this weekend before Raul withdrew due to injury.

David Martinez: form and statistics
"The Black Spartan" arrives in the octagon for his sophomore fight on the back of eight consecutive victories. Mexico's David Martinez earned his UFC stripes with a victory at DWCs last year. In March, he achieved his first UFC victory with a first-round KO of Saimon Oliveira. Billed to fight Quang Le at this Noche UFC, Martinez quickly stepped up when the opportunity to take on Font materialized. The 27-year-old has just the one professional loss.

Rob Font vs David Martinez Fight Prediction
Rob Font has the opportunity to knock down the star of another rising prospect and on paper it looks like the veteran will squeak through a tough fight. Rob Font has fought better names than Martinez has ever come across, with Font's losing run including fights against Jose Aldo, Marlon Vera, Cory Sandhagen, and Deiveson Figueiredo. The only advantage Martinez may wield is age, with Font being 37. But over 3 rounds, rather than 5, we say the old warrior will edge it.
