Saturday at UFC on ESPN+12, bantamweight contender Rob Font will fight John Lineker for the second time, but he isn’t the same fighter who stepped into the cage with the Brazilian in 2016. The two ranked 135-pounders first faced off at UFC 198, with Lineker (31-9 MMA, 12-4 UFC) besting Font (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in route to a three-round unanimous decision victory. The bout was only Font’s third fight under the promotion’s banner and his first against a ranked opponent. While Font has acknowledged his improvement over the past three years, he also feels he was not fighting at his best that evening. “With the Lineker fight, man I was out of that fight from the beginning,” Font told MMA Junkie Radio.
