What a performance shown by Rob Font, he showed great range management by utilizing his jab. He claims that he has the best jab in the UFC, which is a pretty realistic statement. Cody had no answer with Font’s jab which led to a one-sided domination.
Now two of the best bantamweights reacted to the dominant win. Rob Font also gave his side on who is the more challenging opponent. Font said that the Sterling may be the harder puzzle to solve compared to Petr Yan.
Obviously, Sterling was flattered by the statement saying that Font is a smart man. Well technically Sterling does offer a more well rounded game, Garbrandt’s style and Yan are different in terms of technicality. Garbrandt is more power oriented while Yan gives off a slick skill and combos.
Smart man! After talking with his team/Tyson, you can see they do their homework. The hardest part is that he stayed disciplined for just about the entire fight. It’s hard to teach that! Great performance again, and head up to Garbrandt. This division is just stacked now. https://t.co/owG2nOwwad

A Classic Petr Yan post was followed up as he went on to say that he will beat everyone in the division. Yan was certainly winning the fight against Sterling until the match was ended due to disqualification ruling.
I don’t know what else did you expected? Being calm not gonna compensate all of Cody’s technical flaws. I wish him to bounce back though, because I still want to kick his ass in the future. And don’t worry Rob one day I will fuck you up too, I have another business to handle now

Both posting on twitter about the fight just makes their rematch even more exciting. Petr Yan may be expected as a decent favorite, since he showed to be winning majority of the fight. Sterling claimed that the UFC canvas was slippery that led to him having a hard time planting his foot.
The bantamweight division is just one stacked division, considering Rob Font one of the top prospects. There is also the upcoming fight of Cory Sandhagen and TJ Dillashaw which are also possible future champions. The bantamweight division is without a doubt one of the most entertaining division to watch right now.
