David Martinez Beats Rob Font at Noche UFC
Martinez wins a close decision
David Martinez defeated Rob Font by unanimous decision at Noche UFC on September 13, 2025. The bantamweight bout went the full three rounds at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, with all three judges scoring it 29–28 for Martinez.
A three-round co-main event
Martinez stepped in after Raul Rosas Jr. withdrew from the matchup. He used movement and a varied striking attack to stay competitive with Font, a veteran who had previously fought for the UFC bantamweight title. The decision was one of the closest results on the main card.
The win gave Martinez his second UFC victory. It did not immediately establish him as a top contender, and rankings changes are separate from the official result. Font had beaten Kyler Phillips in October 2024 and Jean Matsumoto by split decision in February 2025.
The co-main event followed Kelvin Gastelum’s decision win over Dustin Stoltzfus and preceded Diego Lopes’ second-round stoppage of Jean Silva in the main event.
UFC’s event recap described the bout as a fifteen-minute striking exchange. The judges’ identical 29–28 cards confirmed a close contest, and the official event page lists the result as a unanimous decision rather than a stoppage.
