Raoni Barcelos Calls Out Rob Font After Beating Former Champ at UFC Atlanta
Briefly

Raoni Barcelos achieved a significant victory over Cody Garbrandt at UFC Atlanta, marking what he considers the biggest win of his career. Despite Garbrandt's initial control in the first round, Barcelos demonstrated resilience and skill, securing a unanimous decision. He was impressed by Garbrandt's wrestling defense, which added to the fight's dynamism. Looking forward, Barcelos aspires to face Rob Font by the end of the year, aiming to break into the bantamweight rankings and maintain his momentum with three consecutive wins, including defeating the unbeaten Payton Talbott.
I think it was definitely the biggest win in my career. It was a great fight. Cody was in great form, and we put on a great fight.
What surprised me is how strong his wrestling was even though he comes from a wrestling base. I think it made for a fun and dynamic fight.
I want Rob Font by the end of the year. I want to be in the rankings by the end of the year.
I'm in the midst of a three-fight winning streak, which includes an upset over the previously undefeated Payton Talbott.
