Jones made headlines in the 2010s for his vigilante crime patrols in Seattle, before he moved on to MMA where he was able to obtain a 7-3-1 record.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, as reported by Seattle&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/komonews.com\/news\/local\/real-life-superhero-phoenix-jones-in-super-trouble-facing-drug-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"KOMO News (opens in a new tab)\">KOMO News<\/a>, it seems as if this crime fighter wasn&#8217;t so innocent after all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The report indicates that Jones sold 7.1 grams of MDMA to an undercover agent at a Starbucks, initially sending $300 for the payment and then an extra $200 in person. During the second transaction, after which he was arrested, cocaine was also discovered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After being released on January 11, he will now be arraigned on February 3. This incident comes in the wake of eight citations for driving with a suspended license, with the irony of this whole situation not being lost on the MMA community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Arguably the most notable fight that we&#8217;ve seen from Jones&#8217; career took place when he took part in a brother vs. brother fight in WSOF. He lost the fight to Caros Fodor, his adoptive sibling, via unanimous decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Jones&#8217; last fight took place in October 2017, when he was beaten by unanimous decision by none other than Bellator fighter <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/austin-vanderford-gives-update-on-wife-paige-vanzant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Austin Vanderford (opens in a new tab)\">Austin Vanderford<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The world of mixed martial arts is a bizarre place full of bizarre stories, and this certainly seems to be up there with the best of them.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There&#8217;s something to be said for the sheer volume of fighters that have gone on to take part in a variety of different crimes, but for now, the ironic side of this tale continues to dominate the wider discussion.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Stay tuned for further updates on Phoenix Jones as details emerge.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 1\/27\/2020.<\/i><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MMA superhero known as &#8216;Phoenix Jones&#8217;, formerly a fighter with the World Series of Fighting, has been arrested on drug charges. &#8216;Phoenix Jones&#8217; is the pseudonym of Ben Fodor, a 31-year-old mixed martial arts fighter from Texas.
