Bantamweight fighter Rob Font has had a topsy-turvy run in the UFC, but recently, he’s found a degree of consistency. Although his last few outings included setbacks against elite names like Cory Sandhagen and José Aldo, Font bounced back impressively, earning two straight wins over Adrian Yanez and Song Yadong. He is currently riding high with momentum after amassing two back-to-back wins, and now, he has a chance to extend that winning streak this Saturday night. Font is set to take on relative newcomer David Martinez — a Contender Series alum who made waves with his aggressive striking and quick finishes on the regional scene — in the co-main event at UFC Noche.

Rob Font has been in the UFC for over a decade, but he’s never been one of the most talked-about fighters. In a landscape dominated by the likes of Conor McGregor and Jon Jones, he’s flown under the radar. But let’s get to know him better, and ahead of his fight this weekend, here’s everything we know about the 38-year-old veteran’s roots and background.

Where is Rob Font from? Ethnicity & nationality

So, there’s speculation about Robt Font and his nationality. Some think he’s Puerto Rican, and they’re not very far off. Font was born in Leominster, Massachusetts, which means that he’s American by nationality. The veteran has represented the USA throughout his professional fighting career. But when it comes to his ethnicity, Font has roots in Puerto Rico.

Rob Font has always been vocal about his love for his Puerto Rican roots, as it is a significant aspect of his life in and outside the Octagon. In fact, his American nationality mixed with his ethnicity gives the UFC bantamweight veteran a unique blend, which has helped his fair share of fans resonate with him, especially when it comes to people from the Latin American community.

The 38-year-old veteran has always made sure that fans know about his ethnic roots, and as such, he has several Instagram posts with the Puerto Rican flag. But there’s another thing the fight community may not know about Rob Font, and that is his religious affiliation. Let’s take a look at that front.

Which religion does Rob Font follow?

There are two types of UFC fighters. Firstly, there are those who like to be very open about their personal life and talk about every aspect of themselves. On the other hand, there are those who tend to keep certain things to themselves, and it seems like that’s the case with Rob Font when it comes to his religion. The bantamweight fighter has never been public about his faith, so there’s no concrete information regarding that matter.

However, we could make an estimation about Rob Font’s religion if we take a look at his ethnic roots and his hometown. Most people in Puerto Rico and in Leominster, Massachusetts, belong to the Christian community. So, the bantamweight veteran could very well be a practicing Christian, but until he speaks about it, we can never be sure about the religion he ascribes to.

With that said, the eyes of the fans will be on Rob Font’s fight this Saturday. At 38 years old, there isn’t much time for the bantamweight veteran to go back to the drawing board and make another climb. So, Font has got to continue his winning ways if he wants to even get a sniff at a title shot. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
