The guys have hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event. The UFC showcased a Bantamweight bout this weekend at their UFC Vegas 53 Fight Night event featuring a battle between Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera and Rob Font. ‘Chito’, ranked number eight in the division with a record of 20-7, walked into the octagon on a two-fight win streak to take on Font, who was currently ranked fifth in the division and holding a 19-5 record, while coming off a loss to Jose Aldo. The co--main was between Jake Collier and Andrei Arlovski; yes, he is still fighting, and apparently he still has what it takes to win fights. The former champ, Arlovski, now joins Donald Cerrone and Jim Miller on the top of the list for most wins in UFC history, with 23.
