A professional competitor since 2009, he has also competed for the UFC, Strikeforce, the World Series of Fighting, ONE FC, and King of the Cage.
Background
Fodor is from Shoreline, Washington. His biological father was from the Caribbean while his biological mother was Caucasian. Fodor along with his brother were placed in foster care, raised by a single mother, and did not actually know that they were related until they were 10 years old. In total, Fodor has three biological siblings as well as three adopted siblings, and one of his adopted brothers Ben Fodor aka Phoenix Jones[2] is also a mixed martial artist. Fodor competed in high school wrestling at Shorecrest High School, during his senior year to help prepare himself for boot camp, as he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps six days after his graduation. While he was in boot camp, the terrorist attacks of 9/11 occurred and Fodor was sent to Kuwait for the Iraq invasion. Fodor ended his stint in the military in 2007, reaching the ranks of Sergeant.[3]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
After an extensive, successful amateur career in which he was the Genesis Fights MMA and Muay Thai Champion and Revolution Submission Champion, Fodor turned professional in 2008 and won his first two fights, with both wins coming by guillotine choke submission. He then lost to Nate Hannah via armbar submission one second before the end of the second round.
Strikeforce
Fodor made his debut for Strikeforce in July 2010 on the main card of Strikeforce Challengers: del Rosario vs. Mahe, defeating Ousmane Thomas Diagne by unanimous decision.
He returned to the organization on their Strikeforce Challengers: Wilcox vs. Ribeiro card. He defeated Derek Getzel via submission due to a d'arce choke.
Fodor then faced off against David Douglas at Strikeforce Challengers: Wilcox vs. Damm on April 1. After dominating the first two rounds he stopped Douglas in the third by TKO due to multiple knee strikes.
Fodor's next fight was against James Terry in the main event at Strikeforce Challengers 16. He won the fight via unanimous decision.
Fodor returned on December 17, 2011, to face Justin Wilcox. He won the fight via knockout just thirteen seconds into the first round.
Fodor faced Pat Healy at Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey and lost via submission in the third round.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Caros made the move to the UFC alongside numerous other Strikeforce fighters. He made his debut against Sam Stout on February 23, 2013, at UFC 157.[4] Fodor lost to Stout by split decision. Fodor was released from the UFC after his loss to Stout.[5]
ONE Fighting Championship
It was announced on August 2, 2013, that Fodor has signed with ONE FC.[6]

However, Colossa pulled out at the last minute due to injury. Fodor instead faced Dutch fighter Vincent "The Magnivincent" Latoel.[8] He won the fight via submission in the second round.
