BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Rob Font vs. Cody Garbrandt:
Beneil Dariush, UFC lightweight: I think Cody Garbrandt by KO.
Diego Ferreira, UFC lightweight: I think Garbrandt. He has the boxing and footwork to avoid the power shots and likely land his own to get the KO.
Geoff Neal, UFC welterweight: I think Cody Garbrandt. It’s a super close fight and should be an entertaining one.
Patrick Mix, Bellator bantamweight: Garbrandt. His striking and footwork is too good. He will be able to avoid the shots from Font and land some solid counters.
Cody Stamann, UFC bantamweight: Two boxers going at it and I think Cody Garbrandt will have some trouble getting inside Font’s jab. However, I do think Cody will use his wrestling and mix it up to get the win.
Jeff Molina, UFC flyweight: That is a scrap, man. I wonder what Cody shows up. Cody is so fast but Rob Font is a great boxer, hits hard, good sense of range. I think this fight ends inside the distance and I think Font gets the KO in the middle rounds.
TJ Brown, UFC featherweight: I think Font wins. He should be able to find Garbrandt’s chin and KO him.
Youssef Zalal, UFC featherweight: That’s a good fight and I like Rob Font to get it done, likely by KO.
