Cory Sandhagen enhanced his case for a bantamweight title shot on Saturday when he defeated Rob Font in the UFC on ESPN 50 main event.

Sandhagen (17-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) emerged with a lopsided unanimous decision win over fellow bantamweight contender Font (20-7 MMA, 10-6 UFC) in their 140-pound catchweight headliner at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., and potentially set himself up to challenge the winner of the Aljamain Sterling vs. Sean O’Malley title fight, which goes down at UFC 292 in two weeks.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Sandhagen’s victory over Font at UFC on ESPN 50.

Cory to his feet then back in with a right hand!

Font with the single leg! Shorts shots as Font hangs onto the leg. Now Cory on the back, but Font goes to his back and he’s in half guard.

Font trying to sweep!!!!! NOPE! Cory puts him back down. #UFCNashville

Great chess match in Round 1 between Sandhagen and Font.

Nothing like a high level bantamweight matchup. These guys are elite.

Remember that Sandhagen was originally training for Umar and I’d imagine wrestling was a huge part of that training camp before the switch for Font. #UFCNashville

Rob Font accepting to lay on his back for too long. Catch your breath then move. Sandhagen showing brilliance on his TD timing and top control. Welcome to the Dark Side, Cory! 😈 #UFCNashville

Aaron Bronsteter

30-27 Sandhagen thus far.

1st round was relatively close, but 2 & 3 were clear Sandhagen rounds.

If Font’s shin and Sandhagen’s inner thigh don’t produce a child by the end of this fight I’m gonna be disappointed.
