UFC bantamweights Rob Font and Cody Garbrandt will take center stage in a headlining feature for UFC Vegas 27. Both men are ranked inside the top 5 and the winner will probably move closer to championship contention. However, with TJ Dillashaw vs Cory Sandhagen right around the corner, the winner with the most flair will likely pull ahead. Rob Font and Cody Garbrandt are arguably two of the hardest-hitting 135-pounders in the division. Apart from being technically sound in several dimensions, the power factor is something that’s hard to put a cap on. The bantamweight division is temporarily stalled from a title fight perspective, however, the quality of available fights speaks for itself.

He violently TKO’ed Marlon Moraes in his last fight, firmly establishing himself as a threat to all bantamweights. His last defeat came to Raphael Assuncao in July 2018, who happens to be the last man Cody Garbrandt defeated. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/rob-2-2.jpg] Rob Font’s biggest weapon is that along with destructive power, he shoulders defense responsibly during the fight. Cody Garbrandt will likely cut angles and attempt to walk down Font, a scenario Font won’t play by. He also extends his range effectively, thus landing bombs whilst maintaining a safe distance. As mentioned earlier, Cody ‘No Love’ announced his resurgence with a win over Assuncao [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Raphael-Assuncao-9574]. Prior to the knockout, he was on a three-fight skid and it seemed like his time at the top was a thing of the past. Stopping Assuncao with strikes is a feat only one other man has managed to accomplish.

(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) ‘No Love’ has been competing with a renewed sense of awareness that he maintains will be a permanent feature of his game. He’s put on astounding displays of dominance in the cage when he isn’t fighting emotionally. So long as he keeps his fundamentals in check, Garbrandt will be confident in his abilities. Prediction: Cody Garbrandt to claim a first-round knockout 

Ahead of UFC Vegas 27, let's take a look at the bantamweight scrap between Rob

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cody Garbrandt 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsement</h2>
Cody Garbrandt is a former UFC bantamweight champion. He is well known for his spectacular knockouts, especially his dominating win over Dominick Cruz.

The American fighter had a <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2696276-cody-garbrandt-is-living-the-dream-how-ufcs-new-stud-got-his-superpower" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">troubled</a> childhood. He grew up watching his brother constantly fighting. His father was a drug addict who spent most of his time in prison. Consequently, his parents separated when he was one-year-old. He was then adopted by his mother's now ex-husband.

Cody and his brother got involved in boxing through their uncle. Unfortunately, Cody's mother thought boxing was too dangerous for the latter. Hence, he transitioned to wrestling. Meanwhile, Garbrandt convinced his mother to let him box. He had a successful amateur boxing career with a record of <a href="https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/21780-cody-garbrandt-no-love" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">32-1</a> record. Cody also placed fifth during his senior year in a national tournament. He <a href="https://codygarbrandt.com/whoiscodygarbrandt/#:~:text=While%20in%20high%20school%20during,focus%20to%20boxing%20over%20wrestling." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">received</a> All-American honors for that.

Garbrandt received offers from DI schools, but he opted for a D2 instead. Eventually, he dropped out and began selling weed, worked as a bouncer, and completed coal miner training.

(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)[/caption]

He then committed to MMA and amassed an amateur record of 6-2. Cody made his pro debut on December 29, 2012, a fight in which he knocked out his opponent within one round. As of 2021, he is #3 in the UFC bantamweight <a href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">rankings</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"></sup>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Cody Garbrandt: UFC Career</h2>
After racking up a 5-0 record, Cody made his way into the UFC. He won his first five fights in dominating fashion and earned himself a title shot against one of the greatest bantamweights of all time, Dominick Cruz.

Garbrandt looked untouchable against Cruz. 'No Love' had an answer for every move of Cruz. In fact, he mocked Cruz throughout the fight and knocked him down multiple times. By the end of the fifth round, there was no doubt that Garbrandt was the new champion.

[caption id="attachment_466258" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-466258" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-630705666.jpg" alt="Cody Garbrandt" width="1920" height="1321" /> LAS VEGAS, NV - DECEMBER 30: Cody Garbrandt (center) reacts to his victory over Dominick Cruz in their UFC bantamweight championship bout during the UFC 207 event at T-Mobile Arena on December 30, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Unfortunately, his reign did not last long. Cody Garbrandt's ex-best friend TJ Dillashaw defeated him in the next bout. One year later, Garbrandt tried to reclaim his belt in a rematch but failed.

After losing twice to Dillashaw, Garbrandt fought Pedro Munhoz. Like his previous two fights, Garbrandt's emotions got the better of him. He was drawn into a firefight, which he lost. At this point, he was on a three-fight skid and was desperate to prove himself in the octagon.

After a year off, Cody Garbrandt returned to the cage at UFC 250 to fight Raphael Assunção. Cody showed a completely different version of himself in the fight. He knocked out Assuncao in the second round with a devastating shot. He holds a record of<a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/d8c7c61b176e3994" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> 7-3</a> in his UFC career.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cody Garbrandt: Fighting Style</h2>
Speed is Cody Garbrandt's biggest asset. Apart from that, he has arguably the best boxing in the bantamweight division. His head movement and footwork can be a lot of trouble for his opponents.



Garbrandt's wrestling background helps him fend off takedowns. 'No Love' has one of the best takedown defense. As of now, his takedown defense is at 100%, nobody in the UFC has taken him down yet.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Cody Garbrandt: Achievements</h2>
