Rob Font's recent form

Rob Font (22-8) enters Noche UFC on a two-fight win streak, following victories over Jean Matsumoto and Kyler Phillips. At 38 years old, Font relies on his striking volume and durability, even after a loss to Deiveson Figueiredo. A seasoned veteran, Font stands 5’8” with a 71-inch reach and fights orthodox. Grappling is not his strong suit. He averages less than one takedown per 15 minutes (0.79) with 34% accuracy, and his takedown defense is 42%, meaning he’s been controlled by better wrestlers. He also doesn’t pursue submissions, with just 0.4 attempts per 15 minutes. In his last fight, he earned a split-decision win over Jean Matsumoto, demonstrating his ability to grind out tough victories. While not flashy, it keeps him competitive.

Rob Font`s Strength

Font’s boxing is his strength, landing 5.49 significant strikes per minute at 46% accuracy. While his defense allows 3.67 strikes per minute with 57% defense, his offensive pressure and volume are key to his success.

David Martinez's recent form

David Martinez, at 27 years old, stands 5'5" and weighs in at 135 pounds with a 67-inch reach. His record is 12-1, with his only loss being the only blemish on his otherwise rising career. He is a qualified doctor and rising MMA star, who made a statement in his UFC bantamweight debut with a brutal KO of Saimon Oliveira in March. With ten KOs in twelve wins, Martinez is a fast striker with a powerful approach, backed by solid fight IQ. He now faces the toughest test of his career, stepping in on short notice to fight Rob Font after Raul Rosas Jr. withdrew. Martinez excels in striking exchanges, landing 5.40 significant strikes per minute at 52% accuracy. His defense is impressive, absorbing just 2.70 strikes per minute with a 67% defense rate, showing sharp movement and counter skills. What makes Martinez dangerous is his ability to avoid grappling situations. He doesn’t attempt takedowns but has perfect takedown defense at 100%. He focuses on keeping the fight standing and using his striking.

David Martinez`s Strength

In his last fight, Martinez scored a knockout win over Saimon Oliveira with a knee to the head in round 1. He landed 51% of his strikes at distance and 65% overall, compared to Oliveira’s 29% at distance and 29% overall.

Rob Font vs David Martinez Expert Betting Tip

This is a step up for David Martinez, who is coming in on short notice. Font is a very reliable fighter who has never been knocked out. Despite the age difference, he is using a tried-and-true product to get a UD. Although Martinez isn't typically the grappler you want to fade Font with, Font will find it difficult to coral him because he is much rangier. Font is 38 as well. He will eventually crack because his durability is beginning to erode. Trying my hand at this: Font was rightfully preferred. Martinez is making significant progress. He may swim or sink. But based on Font's defensive inclinations (and the fact that he is 38), and the weapons he has displayed thus far. Rob Font was not helped by the UFC's late replacement. Martinez is real. With his more dynamic striking, he is incredibly fast and eleven years younger than Font. He is very good at controlling distance, and he will use his powerful kicks and footwork to outpace Font, who mainly presses forward as a boxer. Font has been injured multiple times in recent bouts, but he has managed to escape being knocked out. Martinez, who has won 10 of his 12 professional fights by knockout, has a lot of power, and I believe he could be the first to knock Rob Font out. We must side with Martinez at + money because he can win both the minutes and the moments in this matchup.
