Known for his lightning speed and explosive prowess, John 'The Magician' Dodson is a force to be reckoned with inside the cage. His journey into combat sports began on the wrestling mat during his high school days, where he earned accolades as a two-time state champion. Dodson's talent was recognized by Greg Jackson, propelling him into the realm of mixed martial arts.
Though naturally a flyweight fighter, Dodson's versatility has led him to compete in various weight divisions, showcasing his adaptability and determination to overcome challenges. As a competitor in the worldwide MMA scene, Dodson boasts a veteran record of 24 wins and 14 losses, with no draws to his name. His notable victories include triumphs over TJ Dillashaw, Pedro Muhnoz, Eddie Wineland, Jussier Formiga, and Johnny Bedford, among others. He emerged victorious in Season 14 of The Ultimate Fighter.
And here's a fun tidbit - one of the reasons we love Dodson even more is because he's often seen rocking outfits reminiscent of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, adding an extra layer of fun to his already captivating presence in the ring.
Now John is poised to defend his BKFC flyweight title for the first time as BKFC gears up for another thrilling event at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With an undefeated record of 3-0 in BKFC, Dodson has proven himself to be a formidable force in the world of bare-knuckle fighting. Renowned for his lightning-fast knockout ability, Dodson is eager to add another victory to his impressive resume.
Dodson will face off against Dagoberto Aguero, who boasts a 1-0 record in BKFC. Friday's Co-Main Event clash between Donald Sanchez and Dallas Davison carries significant implications for the major middleweight rankings as Sanchez enters the bout with momentum, having secured consecutive victories, most recently dispatching Noah Cutter with a 35-second stoppage in January. Meanwhile, Davison is determined to claim his third finish in the Squared Circle.
In the Feature Fight, Will "The Brown Bomber" Santiago aims to maintain his unbeaten streak and improve to 3-0-1 with another stoppage win. He faces his toughest challenge yet in the form of the resurgent James "Knucklehead" Dennis, in a showdown between two hard-hitting welterweight contenders.
