UFC bantamweights: Cody Garbrandt vs Rob Font

‘No Love’ Garbrandt is coming off a massive KO win over Raphael Assuncao at UFC 250 back in Jane. The clean KO win was an immediate candidate for ‘Knockout of the Year’ and redirected Garbrandt from a three-fight losing streak. Moreover, he’s been on a warpath to enter title contention and a game opponent like Font is the man to do it against.

Rob Font is on an impressive three-fight winning streak, and he’s certainly earned his shot at the former champion. He’s fresh off a TKO victory over Marlon Moraes that came in the very first round of their contest. Moreover, the manner in which he handled a veteran like ‘Magic’ opened the eyes of many fans.

Font has always been lethal on the feet, and it seems as though his game continues to evolve in a huge way. Moreover, he’s defensively quite responsible, and this will encourage him against a technical brawler like Garbrandt. However, ‘No Love’ has shown that he’s greatly elevated his game and isn’t susceptible to making the same mistakes.

Who do you think will win?
