Breaking: Rob Font vs. Song Yadong title eliminator in the works for UFC 292

UFC 292 in Boston is shaping up to be an extremely exciting card for viewers, and the promotion has added yet another huge matchup to an already stacked event. After his impressive showing against Adrian Yanez last time around, Rob Font will meet the heavy-hitting Song Yadong in the octagon on August 19.

The 135 lbs division is arguably the deepest weight class in the sport right now, and the top 15 is filled with nothing but killers. With a title fight booked at bantamweight, there is room for any of the top contenders to stand out above the rest and claim their chance to obtain UFC gold.

As announced on social media earlier today, Rob Font wants to continue his title charge but must first get past the well-rounded threat of Song Yadong, with UFC 292 being the likely destination for their bout.

The two are ranked just outside the top 5, and both will be hoping for an excellent performance in August to propel themselves into the elite end of the division.

Showcasing his explosive power in his most recent octagon outing, Song Yadong bulldozed through the tough test of Ricky Simon with relative ease. His speed and power often seem to overwhelm opponents and have put him in a great spot within his weight class.

Despite having a similar amount of experience inside the cage, Font is 10 years his opponent's elder. As they both implement a striking style, this bout has all the ingredients to be a fight-of-the-year contender.
