Caros Fodor spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Jason High at PFL: Daytona. The highlights are below:

On his fight with his brother Ben at WSOF 32: “The fight with my brother, I’m glad that’s out of the way. It was probably one of the most emotional fights I’ve had. I’m glad that’s over with. We hated each other for the rest of the summer and didn’t speak at all. Then we made up on Christmas morning, actually, at my mother’s house. We’ve hung out once since the fight. But we made peace, and we’re all good…It was mutual. I was drunk, which helped me. It was pretty awkward with a dead silence in the house. I made breakfast and handed him some eggs, and he was receptive to it. I love his son, my nephew, and we were exchanging gifts. It felt like the right time. It was pretty casual in the beginning, but the more alcohol consumed, the (more emotional) it got.”

On keeping his attention on the fight: “I’m just concentrating on Jason now. I don’t really care what the venue is; I just want to have a good night. I’ve been training hard with my mind set. I’m on my last couple fights. This will probably be my last contract. I wanted to retire at 35, and I’m 33 1/2. I’m just going to try to enjoy this whole experience. The sport was really tough for me a couple years ago, and it was tough to go through camps. But now I feel like I’m wrapping it up and I’m just enjoying the whole camp process. This has been one of the most enjoyable camps in a long time. I’d have to keep winning and the pay would have to go up a lot to keep going – I’d have to be the champion. We’ll see what happens in a year and a half. I’ve been competing for 13 years now, and I’m kind of beat up and looking forward to the future. I really want to go out on a high note.”
