USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, May 25: Rob Font enters elite territory

After picking up the biggest win of his career, UFC bantamweight Rob Font now finds himself listed among the absolute biggest names in the sport.

Font (19-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) scored a convincing decision win over former UFC champion Cody Garbrandt (12-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in the main event of this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 188, earning him a move up the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie bantamweight rankings into the No. 6 position at 135 pounds.

With both of those cards having impact on a number of divisions, take a look around through the latest edition of our rankings.
