He is likely one more win away from getting a title shot, so when he meets Aldo at UFC Vegas 44, there is a lot on the line. Speaking to John Hyon Ko of <a href=\"https:\/\/theallstar.io\/rob-font-shoots-to-finish-jose-aldo-in-the-3rd-round-but-prepared-for-25-minutes-at-ufc-vegas-44\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The AllStar<\/a>, Font explained the &#8220;extra motivation&#8221; he has to defeat the legend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t need much motivation to get up and train but then it\u2019s like when you got Aldo, I\u2019m up a little earlier. I\u2019m getting to the gym a little earlier. A little extra on the pads or drilling sessions. This is a big fight,&#8221; Font said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a tough fight. I\u2019m taking it very serious. In the perfect world I get in there and take him out there obviously but it\u2019s Aldo. He\u2019s been there, done that,&#8221; continued Font. &#8220;He has a lot of experience so I\u2019m prepared to go five rounds and pick him apart. Show that I\u2019m just as smooth and just as slick. And if not, a little smoother and slicker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Font has proven throughout his UFC career that he is one of the best fighters at 135lbs, but he has now got to the point of being a champion just yet. Should he beat Aldo, there is certainly the chance that he could be next up in line for a belt. Of course, UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling first has to unify the belts with Petr Yan.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Rob Font will be able to defeat Jose Aldo and, more importantly, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/rob-font-expects-to-pick-apart-jose-aldo-and-earn-stoppage-win-to-enter-title-conversation-at-bantamweight\/\">do you think he will be able to finish his foe at UFC Vegas 44<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC bantamweight contender Rob Font explained the &#8220;extra motivation&#8221; he has to beat the legend Jose Aldo at UFC Vegas 44.
