At UFC 287 in Miami on Saturday, Rob Font took advantage of a crucial opportunity by knocking out Adrian Yanez in the first round to turn the ledger back to the winning side.

Font (20-6 MMA, 10-5 UFC) punched Yanez (16-4 MMA, 5-1 UFC) out at 2:57 of Round 1 of the main pay-per-view event.

For as long as it lasted, the bout many people had picked as the Kaseya Center’s “fight of the night” may have lived up to the anticipation.

Before Font’s last burst, Yanez made some hurtful shots. After a few exchanges, Font’s face swelled, but he persisted.

Yanez was sent to the canvas by a counter’s right hand. Hammerfists were used by Font to end the bout before referee Keith Peterson rescued Yanez.

Font ends a two-fight losing streak, which included defeats to José Aldo and Marlon Vera by unanimous decision, with the victory.

Under the suggestion of New England Cartel head coach Tyson Chartier, Font decided to take a year off from competition after the most recent of the two losses, against Vera, because of the harm done.

The loss for Yanez ends a nine-fight winning streak overall and is his first in the UFC. For the first bout in his MMA career, Yanez was defeated.
