After a high-profile feature on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” this past weekend, Seattle crimefighter “Phoenix Jones” is heading to the WSOF decagon.

WSOF President Ray Sefo today informed USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie that Ben Fodor (5-0-1), the undefeated welterweight who moonlights as an amateur masked crimefighting leader, has signed a multi-fight deal with the Las Vegas-based promotion.

According to Sefo, Fodor will make his promotional debut at WSOF 20, which takes place April 10 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. An opponent hasn’t been finalized but should be named in the coming days, Sefo said.

As with all WSOF events, the main card airs on NBCSN following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Fodor is expected to compete on the televised main card.

The 26-year-old Fodor is a Seattle-area fighter who assembled an extensive amateur career and posted a documented record of 15-2 between 2006-2010 before launching a pro career.

The brother of UFC, Strikeforce and ONE Championship veteran Caros Fodor, Ben Fodor has built a 5-0-1 record in his six pro contests to date. It includes a third-round submission win over Jason Novelli at this past month’s Super Fight League 37 event.

Fodor was recently the subject of ESPN’s popular “SC Featured” segment, where his efforts as a masked crimefighter who patrols the streets of Seattle – despite mixed reactions from local residents and local law-enforcement officials – were featured, as well as his desire to return his focus to endeavors inside of a cage rather than out.

That attention apparently brought Fodor quite a bit of attention from multiple MMA organizations (via Twitter).

Ultimately, Fodor decided WSOF was his best bet and will make his debut for the organization next month.

This year “is going to be a big year for World Series of Fighting,” WSOF Senior Executive Vice President and Matchmaker Ali Abdelaziz told MMAjunkie. “You’re going to see us go aggressively after free agents to make our roster as strong as possible.”
