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.

UFC Fight Night “Font vs. Garbrandt”—which streams live to ESPN+ at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT—also features a women’s strawweight co-main event between Xiaonan Yan and Carla Esparza, a heavyweight affair pairing Justin Tafa with Jared Vanderaa, a women’s featherweight tilt pitting Felicia Spencer against Norma Dumont, a flyweight encounter matching David Dvorak with Juancamilo Ronderos and a middleweight clash slotting Jack Hermansson opposite Edmen Shahbazyan. ESPN+ will stream the undercard in its entirety at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, a featherweight battle between Bill Algeo and Ricardo Ramos anchoring the seven-fight slate of prelims.
