Did Phoenix Jones turn down a UFC contract?

[Thuckey]

Phoenix Jones vs Bones Jones. I like it.

Yeah, that's the better way to put it.

 

[RiotWyatt]

Last thing the UFC wants is some kind of vicarious liability suit for this guy's crimefighting, especially if they endorse his Phoenix Jones persona. Sounds like trouble.

That's why the contract stated that he couldn't engage in his vigilante activities but they would have the right to his vigilante alter ego.

 

[RiotWyatt]

He has looked pretty shitty in his WSOF fights. He'd get rekt in the UFC.

We all know that wouldn't stop the UFC from promoting him. He's better than Kimbo at least.

Think Reebok make his suit with their logo on it?

They'll probably spell it, Feenicks Jones or change his name to Reebok Jones and have him drive around in the Octagonmobile.

I wouldn't sign a guy either that's walks around at night asking to get shot. Bad investment.

Nah... This is all win/win for the UFC.

If he gets a few good wins, goes out and dies in somewhat honorable fashion, he'd be marketed and honored. They'd make a movie out of Phoenix Jones, action figures, video games.

If he gets himself killed doing something retarded, they'd say, "We told him not to. It's in the contract." Still, they would've milked his persona for all it was worth for the time being.

No..

Possible. Still I see DW telling him to drop the superhero act if he wants a contract.

He could still dress up as a "hero", with Reebok and UFC decals, but he couldn't actually try to be a "hero" anymore.

If Pride was still around then he'd already be signed to a 6 figure contact and allowed to fight in his mask

I would play the shit out of a Phoenix Jones video game. Just going around leg kicking and pepper spraying random drunk dudes would be fun as fuck.

 

[RiotWyatt]

This man is delusional and down right full of himself.

In other words, he has what it takes to be the most marketable fighter in the history of the UFC.

That guy's not a hero. You know who a hero is? Hiro, from Heroes. Now, that's a hero.

 

[RiotWyatt]

No, he's American. Also he doesn't cut weight to the point of looking like the machinist to fight people much smaller than him.

Ben "I Walk Around In A Super Hero Costume" Fodor would fit right in with the likes of:

Conor "I Call People Midgets Then Brag About Knocking Them Out" McGregor

and

Ronda "I Knock Out Boxing Champions In Training" Rousey.

 

[Wanderlei Industries]

He could still dress up as a "hero", with Reebok and UFC decals, but he couldn't actually try to be a "hero" anymore.

He could be reborn as Reebok Man.

 

[beefcake180]

I think they're adoptive brothers, not biological.

 

[Kingz]

I actually believe him. He's talented enough to get a shot just about anywhere..UFC included..but i know UFC wouldn't play that Phoenix Jones stuff.

 

[FootstompShonie]

Yeah, I saw that video. He also leg kicks drunks.

I don't hate the guy, but I'm not a Phoenix Jones fan. He really just seems to hunt around for situations where he can legally get away with as much as he can for the power + adrenaline rush. He had plenty of chances to keep walking away from that mutual combat guy, but turned back around every time that guy talked shit.

Seriously as a guy who lives in Seattle most people think that guy is such a tool, our local news does stories about him sometimes.

He's the equivalent of someone who goes around looking for a bar fight against people they know they can beat, except he does it in a stupid outfit under the guise of a "superhero" lmao

With that neck beard he got to have a sherdog account
