As the fight began, the first round was marked by a furious exchange of jabs and combos. Font, at 38 years old, brought his veteran experience to the Octagon, continuously attempting to evade Rosas’s takedown attempts while striking from a distance. However, Rosas demonstrated superior wrestling ability, taking Font down and controlling the round.

In the second round, Rosas escalated his aggression and landed a powerful left hand that momentarily shifted the momentum. He skillfully reversed a takedown attempt from Font, establishing dominance from the top position. Despite Font’s attempts at counterattacks, including a dangerous kimura, Rosas maintained control, gradually building a substantial lead on the judges' scorecards.

As the third and final round commenced, Font came out swinging, desperately seeking a knockout. However, Rosas's defensive skills and wrestling prowess allowed him to bring the fight to the canvas once again, where he retained control until the final bell. The fight concluded with Rosas securing a stunning total of 16 takedowns, earning a decisive unanimous decision victory with all judges scoring it 30-27 in his favor.

He did a hell of a job surviving!" This reflects his competitive spirit and desire for improvement, emphasizing his goal to become a champion in the UFC.
