Dodson is of mixed Filipino and African-American descent; initially raised in Albuquerque, John and his family later moved to Edgewood, New Mexico, where he went to Moriarty High School and started participating in sports such as football, track and field, and wrestling, becoming a two-time state wrestling champion during his teenage years. After matriculating from high school in 2003, John enrolled at the University of New Mexico, and it was at this point that Dodson started training in MMA, after he was recruited by Greg Jackson and Chris Luttrell based on his wrestling experience. As he fell in love with this sport, John continued training on a daily basis and even won in a Grappler’s Quest beginner level competition, later returning to win the tournament at an intermediate level. Apart from competing against flyweight opponents, Dodson also began taking fights at featherweight and bantamweight categories. In a match against future WEC fighter Clint Godfrey, John won the fight and having previously obtained a 3–2 record, he was selected to participate in the second season of “The Tapout Reality Show“.

It was in 2011 that Dodson signed a contract with the UFC in order to compete on “The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller” show, so establishing his net worth. His first fight on the show proved to be positive, as he defeated Brandon Merkt and gained entry into the Ultimate Fighter house. After being chosen for the Team Mayhem, he defeated John Albert and moved onto the semi-finals where he won over Johnny Bedford and launched him into the show’s finals. His UFC debut came in December 2011 at “The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale”, when he became the first Bantamweight winner of this competition, and as he won the “Knockout of the Night” honors as well, he received an additional $40,000, so his net worth was certainly rising.

Dodson continued facing opponents such as Jussier Formiga at UFC on FX5, flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson at UFC on Fox 6, Darrell Montague at UFC 166, John Moraga at UFC Fight Nigth 42, and numerous others. When it comes to his most recent activities, John was expected to face Pedro Munhoz in February 2018 at UFC Fight Night 125, but since his opponent was overweight by four pounds, the fight was rescheduled to UFC 222 in March 2018.

In his personal life, John resides with his wife Chelsea and his daughter Delilah Skye.
