Font vs. Munhoz among 4 fights added to UFC Sao Paulo
A pair of bantamweights will vie for a spot in the top 10 on the UFC's upcoming trip to Brazil.
Rob Font and Pedro Munhoz - ranked 13th and 12th, respectively - are set to meet on Oct. 28 at UFC Fight Night 119 in Sao Paulo, the promotion confirmed Thursday.
The 30-year-old Font heads to South America on a two-fight win streak, and most recently submitted Douglas Silva de Andrade at UFC 213. Font has won four of five in the Octagon, with all of those victories coming by stoppage.
Munhoz will look for his fourth straight victory in his hometown, where he tapped Justin Scoggins at UFC Fight Night 100 last November. The Sao Paulo native was last seen besting Damian Stasiak by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 109 in May.
Also confirmed for the card is a featherweight tilt between Hacran Dias and streaking prospect Jared Gordon, a welterweight bout between Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and Max Griffin, and yet another 170-pound clash of stoppage machines Luan Chagas and Niko Price.
UFC Fight Night 119 will see Lyoto Machida take on Derek Brunson in the middleweight main event and Demian Maia meet the surging Colby Covington in the welterweight co-headliner.
