WASHINGTON – Rob Font acknowledges he’s in for a tough test Saturday, but it’s not against the big name he was looking for. After a couple of fights fell through, Font (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) will finally return to action when he takes on Ricky Simon (15-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 7. He was initially scheduled to face Cody Stamann at UFC on ESPN+ 22 in June, but Stamann was forced out due to a shoulder injury and replaced by John Lineker. It was a big opportunity for Font to avenge a previous loss to Lineker, but weight issues forced Lineker out, as well, and Font was removed from the card
