WASHINGTON – A pair of bantamweight rivals are set for action on the main card at UFC on ESPN 7, but they won’t be fighting each other. Rob Font and Cody Stamann were originally booked to fight at UFC on ESPN+ 12 in Greenville, S.C., but a shoulder injury forced Stamann out of the fight. Both men were booked to fight Saturday at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., but won’t be fighting each other. Instead, Font (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) will kick off the main card against Ricky Simon, while Stamann (18-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) will face off against Song Yadong in the following matchup. It could make for an interesting dynamic in the locker room as two fighters who might have expected to face off against each other instead get set to compete on the same night in separate bouts.
