However, Font clearly does not want to get ahead of himself and talked about remaining patient.

“I think Cory Sandhagen might be the most dangerous guy in the division. TJ again, you know he’s a dog. He always brings it, you know, so I’m waiting to see how that plays out, and then obviously I’ll be patient for this. I’m in a good spot, four in a row, I’m in no rush.”

Rob Font says says he wants his performances to do the talking

From the television in the living room, the newspaper on the doorstep, the radio in the car to the computer at work, social media saturates our world. Therefore, every professional fighter is active on social media these days, as it is a way of connecting with their fans and expressing themselves.

“You know I let my performances speak for myself and yeah I just can’t wait for the next one; I know it’s gonna be a big one. In my mind, I gotta get to the gym because these fights are only gonna get tougher.”

Font clearly seems to believe that performances inside the ring matter much more than anything one does on social media. This is a rare quality that most fighters and sportsmen of today do not share. Therefore, this is something that would make Font a real competitor and someone to watch out for in the near future.
