Despite Rob Font missing weight, UFC on ESPN 35's main event is still set as Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight contender Marlon Vera is going forward with their five-round scrap.

Font (19-5) officially weighed 138.5 pounds for his third UFC main event, or 2.5 pounds over the bantamweight limit. As a result, Font has been fined 20% of his purse that will go to his opponent. The rest of the 12-fight card all made weight, making Font the lone unprofessional participant.

Font's impressive four-fight win streak came to an end in his last bout against Jose Aldo. The former UFC featherweight champion turned back the clock and looked great throughout five rounds, leaving Font to go back to the drawing board. Font will look to impress like past showings against Cody Garbrandt and Marlon Moraes.

Meanwhile, Vera (18-7-1) is coming in with plenty of momentum, having impressed since losing his own decision to Aldo in 2020. "Chito" most recently sparked Frankie Edgar by landing a "Knockout of the Year"-worthy front kick. Vera stepped on the scale at 136 pounds.

UFC on ESPN 35 prelims will air live on Saturday on ESPN+ and ESPN2 at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. Following those, the main card will be on ESPN+ and ESPN at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
