Jose Aldo vs. Rob Font Targeted for UFC Event on Dec. 4

A intriguing bantamweight clash pitting Jose Aldo
against Rob
Font
is in the works for an Ultimate Fighting Championship even
on Dec. 4.

Aldo’s trainer, Andre Pederneiras,
mentioned the potential booking
to Sherdog.com last week, and
it has since been reported by “The MMA Hour”
and
Combate
.

The event is likely to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas,
with Aldo vs. Font expected to serve as the main event. Other
reported bouts for the event include Jimmy Crute
vs. Jamahal
Hill
, Rafael
Fiziev
vs. Brad
Riddell
and Brendan
Allen
vs. Brad
Tavares
.

Regarded by some as the best featherweight of all-time, Aldo is
coming off arguably his most complete performance to date since
dropping to 135 pounds, a unanimous decision triumph against
Pedro
Munhoz
at UFC 265 on Aug. 7. The Nova Uniao standout is 2-2 at
bantamweight, with a decision victory over Marlon Vera
also to his credit as well well as setbacks against Petr Yan and
Marlon
Moraes
.

Font, meanwhile, enters the matchup with Aldo on a four-bout
winning streak within the Las Vegas-based promotion. Most recently,
the 34-year-old Boston native took a five-round verdict over
ex-champ Cody
Garbrandt
in the UFC Fight Night 188 headliner on May 22.
Font’s current run also features victories against Moraes, Ricky Simon
and Sergio
Pettis
.
