A clash of bantamweight contenders is headed to Las Vegas, as The Review Journal reported Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt Raphael Assuncao will take on knockout artist, Rob Font at UFC 226 in July.
Raphael Assuncao (26-5) will look for his fourth straight victory as he already holds victories over Aljamain Sterling, Marlon Moraes and Matthew Lopez in his current streak. The Brazilian’s last loss came in July 2016, when he dropped an unanimous decision to current bantamweight, TJ Dillashaw, whom he already defeated in 2013.
