“I don't need a lot of motivation to get up and train, but when you have Aldo, I'm waking up a little earlier. I'm going to the gym a little early. I stay a little longer in the bags and in the sessions sparring. This will be a great fight,” said Font.
The bantamweight recognized the high level of his opponent and said he was ready to fight the five rounds against the former featherweight champion.
“This is a difficult fight. I'm taking this very seriously. In a perfect world, I go in there and take him out. But obviously, it is José Aldo. He's been there, done that. He has a lot of experience, so I'm prepared to go five rounds and stop him. I will show that I am smooth and smooth. And if not, a little softer and smoother than him”, concluded Rob.
Number four for bantamweights, Rob is on an incredible streak of four straight wins. His last defeat was in July 2018, against the Brazilian Raphael Assunção. The fighter has a record of 19 triumphs and four setbacks.
