LAS VEGAS – Rob Font knows the onus is on him to maintain his position in the upper tier of the bantamweight division in the UFC on ESPN 35 main event. After suffering a loss to Jose Aldo in their December headliner, Font (19-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) gets another chance to prevail under the spotlight when he takes on Marlon Vera (18-7-1 MMA, 12-6 UFC) on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on ESPN following prelims on ESPN2. There was no shame in the setback against a legend like Aldo, but Font said he knows he made some tactical mistakes that diminished his chances for victory
