UFC bantamweights Rob Font and Douglas Silva de Andrade will collide on July 8 as part of the UFC 213 prelims, it was today announced.
Twenty-nine-year-old Font, 13-2, a native of Massachusetts, has won three of his four UFC bouts to date, each of them via finish, and was last seen defeating Matt Schnell via first-round TKO in December.
Andrade, meanwhile, is a 32-year-old on a two-fight win-streak and boasts a record of 24-1. The talented Brazilian has defeated Cody Gibson and Enrique Briones in back-to-back fights and last time out stopped Briones with an impressive spinning back-fist.
