‘No Love’ went on a three-fight skid after winning the belt. Subsequently, he finished Raphael Assuncao at UFC 250 to send a statement of intent to the division. Meanwhile, Font was looking to send a statement of his own with a win over a former champion.
The first round was pretty evenly matched for both men as they landed a few good shots and got reads on their opponent. However, Garbrandt secured multiple takedowns towards the end of round one.

Early in round two, ‘No Love’ landed a takedown, but once Font got back on his feet, the second round was all his. He carried his momentum into round three as well.
Rounds four and five were more of the same. Font, who controlled the fight, picked apart ‘No Love’ who did not have the gas tank to push Font all the way. With the win, Font extended his win streak to 4-0.
