Raul Rosas Jr. defeats Rob Font by unanimous decision at UFC 326

Raul Rosas Jr. secured a unanimous decision victory over Rob Font in a bantamweight bout at UFC 326, relying on his grappling to control the fight. The 21-year-old prospect improved his UFC record to 6-1 with the win at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Font, a veteran ranked No. 13 at 135 pounds, dropped to 22-10 after the loss.

The matchup between Rob Font and Raul Rosas Jr. headlined the main card at UFC 326 on March 7, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Font, entering with a 22-9 record, started strong in the first round, using his jab and boxing to pressure Rosas. He defended early takedown attempts effectively, catching a leg kick and landing body shots. However, Rosas, who turned 21 in October, scored multiple takedowns, transitioning to top position and slowly gaining momentum despite limited damage on the ground.

In the second round, Rosas continued his wrestling attack, landing a single-leg takedown after probing with jabs. Font scrambled and attempted a triangle choke and later a kimura from the bottom, but Rosas maintained control in half guard and top position. The third round followed a similar pattern, with Rosas securing another takedown early and holding Font down for much of the time, preventing any significant striking exchanges.

Judges scored the fight 30-27 across all three cards in favor of Rosas, who swept the scorecards for a dominant performance. MMA Fighting also scored it 30-27 for Rosas. Post-fight, Rosas expressed dissatisfaction with the decision outcome, saying, “I’m not satisfied, I wish I would have got the finish. That’s what we came here to do. He’s a vet, he did a hell of a job surviving, and if you know Rob Font, it’s hard to do that against him.” Rosas, now on a five-fight win streak overall with victories over Vince Morales and Aoriqileng since his lone loss to Christian Rodriguez, called for a top-10 opponent next.

Font, who had wins over Adrian Yanez and Kyler Phillips but a recent loss to David Martinez, has now lost four of his last six fights and five of his last eight. Rosas's grappling proved decisive against Font's striking focus.
