UFC Vegas 53: Rob Font vs. Marlon Vera - Unofficial Awards

Smashing. That’s the best word used to describe UFC Vegas 53... and also perfectly describes what Marlon Vera was doing to Rob Font’s face in the main event. Though the fight was far closer than it will be remembered for, Vera hurt Font on multiple occasions throughout their fight, almost always at the end of the round. Unable to find the finish, Vera was nevertheless able to secure a unanimous decision victory for the biggest win of his career. It’s not like the rest of the card was disappointing either. There weren’t a lot of notable names on the card, but the action sure as hell delivered.
