UFC Vegas 99: Rob Font vs. Kyler Phillips: Live round-by-round updates

The co-main event of UFC Vegas 99 pits bantamweight prospects Rob Font and Kyler Phillips in a fight that could mark a changing of the guard.

Font comes into the fight after a tough stretch, with only one victory in the last five outings. The seasoned Massachusetts native has faced elite competition throughout his career but has lost two fights since April 2023. He was last seen inside the octagon against Deiveson Figueiredo, a fight that he lost by unanimous decision.

Phillips, on the other hand, enters the fight riding on the momentum of a three-fight win streak. The MMA Lab prospect has improved his conditioning and fight pacing and has never been finished in his professional career. With a 6-1 record under the UFC banner, he is slowly emerging as a rising threat in the division.

This is a classic matchup of Font’s experience against Phillips’ momentum that promises an exciting clash for the fans. The event is scheduled for Oct. 19, with the prelims beginning at 4 PM ET/1 PM PT. The main card is set to air live on ESPN+ starting at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT.
