UFC Fight Night 188 Font vs. Garbrandt: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Font 18-4-0 | Garbrandt 12-3-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
FONT (-120) heads into this fight looking to keep Garbrandt (+100) at bay with his six-inch reach advantage.
He’ll also be trying to keep the fight upright, using his 5.21-to-3.35 significant strikes landed per minute advantage to work his opponent over.
However, if the fight does go to the canvas, Font can more than handle himself there, too.
In fact, in 23 career professional bouts, Font has five submission results, winning four times. He also has eight KO/TKO wins, and he has never been knocked out, so he gets stoppages frequently, and is almost always on the winning end.
Garbrandt bounced Raphael Assuncao last time out with a second-round knockout, slapping the brakes on a three-bout skid.
Of course, two of those losses were title fights against TJ Dillashaw, and another was a high-profile loss to Pedro Munhoz, so nothing to be ashamed about. Thirteen of Garbrandt’s fights have resulted in KO/TKO, with 10 wins and three losses.

Over/Under (O/U)
No (-275): Will the fight go the distance? isn’t a good play here. That’s a little too rich for my blood. I actually think Font and Garbrandt will brawl for a bit, and playing OVER 1.5 ROUNDS (-175) is a little bit better of a play.
This is a championship-caliber fight, and it will not go the distance. However, it’s also not going to end in the first 4:30, either.
