"I understand the skepticism people have about seeing two brothers fight. I get that. But people who have known us our whole lives, it makes perfect sense to them. I know there will be talk that it's a circus act or that we'll go in there and pretend, but they'll be surprised."
Caros Fodor is 10-5 over the course of a career that has included stints in the UFC, Strikeforce and One Championship. He saw a two-fight winning streak end in his promotional debut at WSOF 27, as he dropped a unanimous verdict to Luiz Firmino on Jan. 23.
Ben Fodor, who is most famous for his superhero alter-ego “Phoenix Jones,” is 1-1 in WSOF competition. After losing a unanimous decision to Emmanuel Walo in his debut, the 27-year-old submitted Roberto Yong in the second round at WSOF 23 on Sept. 18.
Meanwhile, Almeida captured 145-pound gold with a five-round decision over Palmer at WSOF 26 on Dec. 18. The 27-year-old Brazilian has won five straight fights and is 18-5 as a professional overall.
A Team Alpha Male product, Palmer has won 10 of his 12 pro outings, with his only setbacks coming against Almeida and Georgi Karakhanyan. The former RFA titlist has finished six of his 10 victories by way of submission.
