UFC Fight Night: Font vs Garbrandt will see a flyweight clash between Bruno Silva and Victor Rodriguez go down in the preliminary card. The Brazilian, Silva, will look to build on his T/KO win in his last fight against J.P. Buys. Rodriguez, on the other hand, was brutally knocked out in his last fight by Adrian Yanez.

‘Bulldog’ made his UFC bow at UFC 243. His debut contest against Khalid Taha was turned into a no-contest. Subsequently, he dropped two decisions against David Dvorak and Tagir Ulanbekov. In March, he knocked out J.P. Buys in what many believe saved his octagon career.
