The news first came forth via ESPN’s Brett Okamoto and serves as a massive opportunity for both men. Additionally, there’s a clear possibility that a marquee frontrunner emerges from his match-up to fight for the belt.
The UFC’s bantamweight division is chalked to the brim with dangerous contenders, and the aforementioned fighters fit that bill. Not to mention, the recent title fight controversy at UFC 259 has sprung around more publicity towards the 135 pounders. As the title picture shapes out, the divisional contenders will want to stack up their cards to run into contention next.

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.
