      Idk if I agree. Now sure maybe font from this moment will just slip and go on this huge streak but in terms of where he’s at right now, he lost twice in a row and to two top guys and they were competitive fights. I mean gaethje came in to the organization and was immediately in main events and he had a fight of the night with Michael Johnson, and then lost two fight of the night, one fight of the year in a row by being finished to Alvarez and Dustin Poirier, but that two fight skid didn’t diminish him in the eyes of many or even the ufc. Sure he wasn’t gonna be on the main event after losing those fights but he certainly wasn’t on the edge of being cut or thrown back to the prelims fighting tomato cans and in gaethjes case he had only beaten one guy in the ufc. It’s the same with chandler. He won one fight since coming into the ufc, and lost two competitive fights with olivera and gaethje and now he’s about to fight Tony Ferguson and whether he wins or loses that fight, right now where he stands at a two fight skid he’s still in great standing with the ufc and he’s in no danger of being cut or losing money or anything. I think the whole wins and losses and the black and white way it goes in terms of peoples opinions rather then looking at the actual manner these guys are losing these fights comes from the casual fan base and not the ufc or more hardcore fan base.

    I started realizing the potential in taekwondo kicks from Umar and Usman Nurmagomedov's fights, especially they are both very good grapplers, so when their opponents drop back their hips to defend takedowns they expose their heads for the kicks, and vice versa, when they lean back with their heads to evade the high kicks they expose their hips for the takedowns.

    Solid performance for Chito, but I think, as Jason Perillo said afterwards, he needs to be more active throughout the earlier rounds.
    If he didn't hurt Font with the knee and the late shots in the second and third, he could've lost those rounds on points.
    It's a risky way to fight in general in these close fights.
    No question he won this fight, but I don't think he can rely on his opponents getting caught /more tired by the end of each round. Yan, Sandhagen and even Merab would give Chito a great challenge.
