After a year away from the cage, Rob Font returned to the bantamweight picture with a bang Saturday.
At UFC Fight Night 183, Font (18-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) brutalized former UFC bantamweight title challenger Marlon Moraes en route to a violent TKO at 3:47 of Round 1 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Font’s victory didn’t come easy, however. Prior to his mid-round onslaught, Font was largely controlled for the majority of the fight. Battling through the adversity, Font worked his way up to his feet.
After he ate a combination, Font found the mark with a variety of punches – especially his jab, which stunned Moraes (23-8-1 MMA, 5-4 UFC) multiple times. Moraes absorbed a tremendous amount of damage before referee Marc Goddard stepped in to call off the fight.
Font’s win comes on the heels of a layoff due to an ACL injury suffered against Ricky Simon in December 2019. The victory moves his win streak to three.
As for Moraes, he has now lost two in a row – and three of his past four. Prior to the defeat to Font, Moraes lost in October when he was wheel-kicked by Cory Sandhagen.
