Alexandr Romanov was listed as a -2200 (per DraftKings.com) betting favorite heading into UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Vera, making him the most significant betting favorite in the promotion's entire history.

Romanov lived up to his billing when he completely dismantled the returning Chase Sherman in the final prelims bout of the card. Romanov took Sherman down with ease before pulling off a rare belly-to-back suplex in the octagon.

'King Kong' took the full mount position and worked his way into locking in an Americana. Sherman had no choice but to tap out at the 2:11 mark of the opening round. Romanov took his record to 16-0 with an impressive finish.

In an all-Brazilian showdown, flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo's brother, Francisco Figueiredo, earned a bounce-back win against Daniel da Silva. Impressively, Figueiredo only needed one minute and 18 seconds to get the job done.

'Sniper' found himself on his back early as da Silva tried to advance to a favorable position. Figueiredo snatched his opponent's leg during the transition, secured a kneebar, and earned his first finish under the UFC banner.

Gabe Green scored a massive come-from-behind win against Yohan Lainesse. It appears as though Lainesse was on his way to going up two rounds to none against Green. However, the 28-year-old American took the scorecards out of the equation when he landed a body shot that dropped his opponent and finished the fight off with some ground-and-pound.

In the only preliminary card bout that went the distance, Natan Levy scored a unanimous decision victory over Mike Breeden. Levy picked up his first victory in the promotion by out striking his opponent.

UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Vera kicked off with Shanna Young's impressive technical knockout (TKO) of Gina Mazany. Young found herself in a back mount during a wild scramble, where she landed shots to her opponent's head. Referee Jason Herzog called for the stoppage at the 3:11 mark of round two.
