Contention breeds contempt in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Rob Font will put his three-fight winning streak on the line when he toes the line against former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt in the UFC Fight Night 188 headliner on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. With elbow room at a premium in the 135-pound weight class, neither man can afford a misstep under the bright lights.
