Saturday night will showcase a fantastic UFC Fight Night between two experienced bantamweights. 19-4 Rob Font is the favorite to knock off former Champion Jose Aldo, who is now 30-7 all time. It's time to continue our UFC Fight Night odds series with a Font-Aldo prediction and pick based on Font Also odds.

Rob Font is the No.4 bantamweight in the world behind Cory Sandhagen, TJ Dillashaw, Petr Yan, and the Champion, Aljamain Sterling. Jose Aldo is right behind him at No.5 in what is a stacked division. Font won his last three fights that were all against tough opponents. He defeated Cody Garbrandt by a unanimous decision who is known for having one of the best striking abilities in all of the UFC. A win against Aldo might not be enough to move him up in the rankings, however. All the fighters ahead of him are in contention for a title shot.

As for Aldo, his title shot days might be over after he lost his chance against Petr Yan back in July of 2020. He's won his last two fights though, so there is still a lot of fight left in him. He almost retired after the Yan fight and I'm sure he is happy with his decision not to. This should be an exciting fight to watch between two veteran fighters.

Here is how FanDuel set the Font-Aldo line for UFC Fight Night.

Why Font Could Win This Fight

Rob Font is the favorite to win this fight. He wants to put himself into a title shot conversation and he needs this win badly. He is 34 years old and doesn't have much time left to contend for a title. Font has five knockouts in his UFC career but that isn't something he is really known for. Font is a very accurate striker. His striking percentage is 43.7 for his career which is extremely good. He's well-poised and knows what his strengths are. He isn't going to wow anyone with extreme power, but if he connects with the right punch it will knock you out. I can see Font winning this fight by a decision.

Why Aldo Could Win This Fight

Aldo is just one year older than Font, which is also putting his title shot window slim. He just beat Pedro Munhoz by a unanimous decision this past August. His stuff is still there but like Font, he isn't going to utilize his power and knock anyone out. He only has four knockouts on his 37-fight career. Aldo is going to win this fight by his grappling ability and hope that Font won't establish the same technique. His grappling accuracy is 56.5% and his takedown defense is 91%. The trenches is where Aldo likes to be and that is how he is going to win if he comes out on top.

Final Font-Aldo Prediction & Pick

I think most of us who have seen these two fight before, know that this is likely going to go to a decision. If there is to be a KO, then one of these two would have to seriously connect with one. I'm taking Font to win this fight by a decision. It's going to be a close fight and I think Font takes it by split decision.

Final Font-Aldo Prediction & Pick: Font -152 & Over: 4.5 (-158)
