Rob Font’s breakthrough into bantamweight title contention occurred on Saturday when he beat former champ Cody Garbrandt in the UFC Fight Night 188 headliner.

Font’s (19-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) fourth consecutive victory was his biggest one yet, as he slickly outpointed former champ Garbrandt (12-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) over the course of five rounds at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas to take a clear-cut unanimous decision and move himself forward in the 135-pound pecking order.

How does Font proceed from here given the tricky landscape of the division? He wants the belt, but his path there is not yet clear, and he might need another win first.
