Rob Font Gets New Co-Main Opponent at Noche UFC as David Martinez Steps In for Sept. 13

Font calls the short-notice switch routine, with Martinez entering only his second UFC appearance.

Overview

  • After Raul Rosas Jr. withdrew, Font is now booked to face David Martinez in the Noche UFC co-main event in San Antonio on Saturday.
  • Font said this marks roughly his 12th opponent change in his career, including nine in the UFC, and that he prepares mentally for late switches.
  • Martinez, a Contender Series signee, won his March debut by first-round TKO and carries a knockout-heavy record into the matchup.
  • Sherdog’s Tom Feely reported that Melissa Martinez and Westin Wilson were removed from the UFC roster, a development cited by secondary outlets.
  • Middleweight Sedriques Dumas posted bank screenshots showing near-empty accounts and referenced ongoing legal and financial troubles ahead of his fight, according to his social media posts.
