(SPOILERS...)
Returning to the down-sized APEX octagon for the main event, we had a BantamWeight tilt between the #3 ranked, Rob ‘The New England Cartel’ Font, with an impressive 18-4 record, eight of those first-round finishes, on a three-fight win streak, having handily defeated former title contender and ex-WSOF champion, Marlon Moraes, as well as Ricky Simón & Sergio Pettis in his last several outings; and his opponent tonight being the former UFC Bantamweight titleholder, #4 ranked, Cody ‘No Love’ Garbrandt; who was coming off an astonishing victory over Raphael Assunção back at UFC 250 last year, determined to show us a new and improved version of himself, while finding his way back to the belt.
