Fodor Brothers Talk About Tension Before Their Fight At WSOF 32

In an interview with MMA Junkie Ben Fodor (6-1-1) and his adopted brother Caros Fodor (10-5) spoke about their upcoming fight at WSOF 32, which has resulted in hostility between the two. They were originally going to train at the same gym but now Ben is elsewhere due to their issues. Here are highlights:

Ben on leaving the AMC Pankration gym: “I’m training at a completely different gym. Because Caros is an (expletive). And Matt Hume, he’s been training Caros for the past 10 years, so he’s going to side with his guy, which is totally cool with me. I want to make it clear, Matt was nothing but professional. He never did anything wrong. It was more Caros being a complaining little (expletive).”

Caros on Ben’s version of events: “He’s a (expletive) liar. He’s just full of (expletive). Me and him haven’t talked, and I have no desire to clarify anything with him, so I guess I can see how he came to that conclusion, but that’s not how it went down. He’s telling himself all kinds of (expletive). He’s out there.”

Caros on who’s fault it is: “I mean, yeah, there’s going to be some problems (as a result of the fight), but it won’t be on my end. It’ll be because he’s an emotional pussy. If he beats me, fine, I can take the loss and not hold any grudges. The problem is, I’m going to whoop his ass, and I know he won’t grow up and be a man about it.”

Ben on the falling out becoming permanent: “We’re not friends, and we’re not going to be friends. For me, I don’t have any connection with people that’s going to make me be close with them no matter what. I come from a foster home background. I have people I grew up with and have the same last name as me, and when I see them it’s just like, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ And then there are people I didn’t grow up with and who don’t have the same last name as me, and I’d jump in front of a train for those guys. It just depends. Caros just became one of those people who I don’t care about anymore.”
