Rob Font “surprised” he’s fighting Marlon Vera but expects to “overwhelm” him to get the stoppage

Rob Font figured he would be fighting Cory Sandhagen.

After Font lost to Jose Aldo and Sandhagen lost to Petr Yan, he thought the fight made sense and it was one that interested him. However, Font was offered to headline UFC Vegas 53 against Marlon Vera which did surprise him. Yet, he is eager for the challenge and is excited to headline another card.
