Easily the most interesting fighter in this list, Phoenix Jones (real name Ben Fodor) is a crimefighter in real life. And not of the organised or uniformed variety; he’s, well, for lack of a better term, a superhero. Like Kick-Ass. And his oeuvre isn’t to be scoffed at – he’s prevented automobile theft, drunk driving and assault.

But, no good deed goes unpunished and Jones, who has been called “a costumed vigilante” and “a deeply misguided individual” by authorities, was once arrested and detained after he broke up a fight using pepper spray.

Like Batman against Bane or almost any other superhero, Jones literally had his back to the wall against the quick-fisted Yong. Just when a knockout looked certain, Jones took Yong down and used a Kimura to lock in an uncommon Leg Scissors Choke. Jones’ next fight in WSOF was against his foster brother, ex-UFC fighter Carlos Fodor.
