Rob Font’s successful return to competition just about hit a major roadblock. The bantamweight talent fighting out of the New England Cartel returned from a year on the sidelines due to injury in December of last year, making an immediate impact in the Octagon with back-to-back victories over recent title contender Marlon Moraes and former champion Cody Garbrandt.
However, Font very nearly found himself on ice again after MMA Fighting reports that the he was on the wrong end of an ‘in-competition’ drug test failure, stemming from a sample collected on March 22nd—surrounding his fight against Garbrandt.
