Going to UFC Vegas 27, fans were expecting fireworks between bantamweight contenders Rob Font and Cody Garbrandt.
With Garbrandt looking to pick up his second straight win while halting the surging Font, both men looked ready for an all-out slugfest inside the octagon. But after 25 minutes of action, it was Font who walked away with the one-sided decision over the former champion.
Below is how their fellow UFC fighters reacted to the entire night of action in Las Vegas.
Happy for font he was also an RTS CHAMP

You can always tell when the fighter doesn’t perform at his best.Never a physical thing. It’s all mental. #UFCVegas27
