Adrian Yanez is set to take on Rob Font in what is being touted as the biggest fight of his career, with the bantamweight matchup scheduled to take place at UFC 287 on April 8. Despite Font’s recent two-fight losing streak, Yanez is not taking his opponent lightly and has been a fan of Font’s fighting style for years. He believes that anyone who thinks Font is finished is simply mistaken.

Yanez was originally hoping to fight in San Antonio, but understood the value of a big step up in competition and decided to take on the challenge of Font instead. With a nine-fight win streak under his belt, Yanez is excited for the opportunity to face a top-six opponent and prove himself as a rising star in the talent-filled division.

While a win against Font could mean big things for Yanez’s career, he’s not putting any additional pressure on himself and sees it as a win-win situation regardless of the outcome. For Yanez, it’s all about climbing the ranks and taking on his idols, and he’s excited for the chance to do just that against Font, who he regards as one of the best in the sport.
