Caros Fodor (born January 7, 1984) is an American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in ONE FC's lightweight division. He has also competed for the UFC, Strikeforce, and King of the Cage.
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 is also a mixed martial artist. Fodor competed in high school wrestling at Shoreline 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.
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.
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.
