UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Garbrandt

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Dude just outclassed a divisional legend and seemed shy about the camera in the interview.

This entire card was so Luke warm imo only what ko my blood lust isn’t satisfied at all 

Rob Font is the baddest former pizza delivery man on the planet. Whatever company he worked for should sponsor him and have him do commercials.

@MrXRay....This could lead to serious repercussions....lol

@Aric123 the canvas was mottled with blood, you are spoiled by recent cards!

I won both my bets so this card was 10/10.

Lol maybe I am spoiled but you know what they say there’s never too much blood 

7-5 to end the night. Not that bad I suppose! Was a great event nonetheless and I'll see everyone for the next one!

They really were gonna feed Cody to Figgy

As a current pizza delivery driver, Rob Font gives me hope

I alway forget how bad Cody is, I alway rembeber him as the man who beat Dominique Cruz,Cruz might of been old by then or something,  Because Cody was beating nobody before the title fight and then lossing to top compution after , But not to take anything away from Font, Dude look sensational, Want to See Font vs Sanhagen,TJ or Yan

I don't think they're anything I like seeing more then guy get better and Font level up a lot in just in his last 2 fights, I kinda wish he fight more then once a year because i want to see more of this Rob Font

I thnk Cody Garbrandt's days as a top guy in the UFC are done.

Cody showed a good skillset in the first 7 minutes of the fight: he used good leg kicks, when he felt in trouble he got takedowns and he landed good punches when Font tried to get up in the scrambles, but when he felt Font's hands he mentally locked up. 
 Cody didn't react like he used to throwing crazy punches when he was hit right, he blocked and for the middle of round 2, the full rounds 3 and 4 did nothing but stay on his feet (don't get knocked down). 
 In the fifth round if he came out with the aggression with which it would have been interesting to see him the whole fight, in that round he landed his best shots, but once Font landed good blows again he was left without initiative. Cody showed that he had a heart because although he was being hurt and frustrated without doing anything, he did not give up and got up from the bench to leave each round, he showed a jaw despite the detractors who call him ''No Chin'' (Take 180 significant punches without being knocked down, Cody was stuned, at times rocked but not knocked down). I'm a Huge Fan of Garbrandt, is sad to see him like this and if he decides to retire and dedicate himself to his family and business, this is fine, he was already a champion, which is the motivation of everyone who enters the UFC. 
 I think Cody still has a chance at bantamweight by improving his game plan, he can see fighters like Jimmie Rivera, Cody Stamann, and it would even be an interesting fight against Aldo or a rematch vs. Pedro Munhoz. Against the top 5 if he is going to make it much more complicated in the future. Maybe it would be nice if he decides to go flyweight he starts against fighters like Schnell or someone lower in the rankings. Font is top and this time if Cody wants to relaunch his career, he must build winning streaks where he gradually raises the level of skills as Esparza did or as Faber did in 2013. 
There are 2 paths for ex-champions. finish as Esparza, Couture, RDA on their initial run in WW. Or you end up as Barao, Weidman, Rockhold, Rashad Evans, or Anderson Silva. There are also intermediates like Lyoto Machida, Forrest Griffin. But Cody Garbrandt must be smart in his next steps as a fighter.

Hermansson deserved a bonus for going into a must win round and absolutely breaking Edmen.

Huge rebound from last week, let's  keep it rolling into next week

Can he rebound? Or is this it!
