Seems like every punch Rob Font lands clean is hurting Cody Garbrandt, but he’s having trouble stopping the takedowns. 10-9 Font. #UFCVegas27

Rob Font had some good moments in that round. But, dare I say it, is this a much smarter version of Cody Garbrandt?

Garbrandt ties his career high for takedowns landed in a UFC bout early in the 2nd round.

After taking down his first two UFC opponents, including 3 TDs against Henry Briones, Cody Garbrandt landed one total takedown in his next eight UFC bouts. Tonight: three after two rounds. #UFCVegas27

Garbrandt looks like he’s at war with himself out there. Dude fought one kind of fight for his whole career and it is tearing him up inside to try and make something else happen.

Cody needs a finish here. Can’t ever count out a former champion, especially of this division. Font on point and controlling the tempo #UFCVegas27

Rob Font basically came out of nowhere . This dude is a well rounded , highly skilled fighter! #UFCVegas27

Master performance by Rob Font. Very technical, fun to watch. Cody Garbrandt proved a lot of people wrong that he can still take a shot, but he was a step behind Font all night. There’s a new bantamweight contender … no doubt about it.
— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) May 23, 2021
Well, we can at least put to rest that Cody’s chin is shot.
