Phoenix Jones Fights Championship To A Standstill

Published Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:00:42 -0600

At the weekend, we reported that Bleeding Cool favourite, Real-Life-Superhero-turned-mixed-martial-arts-fighter Phoenix Jones was in a fight for the SFLA Welterweight Championship belt. Here, according to Fight Network, is how it went down.

Saturday night's co-main event was an absolute showstopper, as undefeated Enumclaw native and former U.S. Marine, Tyson Cunningham fought Seattle's Ben Fodor, who is perhaps better known as the Seattle Superhero Phoenix Jones in a 5-round contest for the SFLA Welterweight Championship. Cunningham's wrestling background was on full display as he landed takedowns seemingly at will, with Fodor landing huge punches and elbows from his back. Although he spent most of the fight trying to get back to his feet, Fodor gave far more significant damage than he received. His striking was explosive, landing massive shots to his opponent's head and body. After Fodor had a point deducted for a head kick to a downed opponent, it looked all but assured that Cunningham would be leaving Tacomawith the belt. However, Fodor answered back with a fantastic performance in the championship rounds to make the judges decision even more difficult. After all was said and done, the fight ended in a split-draw, one of the more uncommon decisions in Mixed Martial Arts. Although a chorus of boo's rang out from the audience upon hearing the decision, both fighters showed remarkable class during the post fight interviews. With neither man taking home the belt, a rematch could very well be headed our way.
