Roughly six years ago, Rob Font was a confused young man who worked as a Pizza Hut delivery driver and had no martial arts experience to speak of. Fast forward to the present, and Font (10-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is just days away from his UFC debut, which will come against George Roop (15-10-1 MMA, 5-6 UFC) on the FOX Sports 1-televised portion of Saturday’s UFC 175 preliminary card from Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center. A portion of the prelims will also be streamed on UFC Fight Pass prior to the pay-per-view main card. So how did Font go from delivering pizzas to fighting in the UFC over the course of just a few years? According to the 27-year-old, it all began with a delivery to a house in his hometown of Tampa. “I was working for Pizza Hut and I pulled up to a house and there were two guys rolling around on the mats in the garage,” Font told MMAjunkie
