Font, currently in 6th place in the Gallo ranking, is gearing up to defend his spot in the top ten against Yáñez, who is currently sitting in 12th position. While both fighters excel in the art of hand-to-hand combat, Yáñez has been working with a muay thai coach for about a year to add some kicks to his arsenal.
The Massachusetts native is coming off two defeats in a row (Jose Aldo and Marlon Vera) and has not entered an octagon in almost a year. Before that, it had accumulated four victories in a row that had positioned the fighter at the top of the ranking.
Adrian Yañez
- Odds: -180
- Record: 16-3-0
- Age: 29
- Height: 1.70 m
- Weight: 61 kg
- Reach: 178 cm
This Texan fighter has got it all, especially when it comes to his knockout power. With 10 KOs out of 16 victories, which speaks volumes about his firepower. Since making his triumphant entry into the UFC through Dana White’s Contender in 2020, he has won five fights in a row, making it nine in a row if you count his previous experiences. Yañez is definitely a fighter on the rise.
In all of his UFC fights he has had honorable mentions, four times Performance of the Night and one Fight of the Night. He is coming off a tremendous first round KO win over Tony Kelley.
