Phoenix Jones (Emmanuel Walo) will make his WSOF debut at April’s WSOF 20 card.
Jones is a super hero by night and MMA fighter by day. He signed with WSOF last week because he felt it’d be the perfect home for both him and his masked alter ego.
“They didn’t want me to stop being Phoenix Jones,” he said. “The other contracts had a lot of clauses about what you could and could not do. And it didn’t exactly say ‘stop being Phoenix Jones,’ but it did sort of say that. It’s like, eight weeks before a fight you can’t be engaged in a risky or mischievous behavior. And other contracts said that they had the rights to the Phoenix Jones name, so they were going to make dolls and action figures and stuff.”
It’ll be interesting to see whether he comes to the stage in his Phoenix Jones outfit or if he will walk out like every other fighter?
I vote for masked man entrance!
