Throughout his career, he won seven professional contests.

Heath placed second in that contest. At the time of Rhoden’s victory, he was the oldest champion in the history of the contest, winning the title at the age of 43. He was two months older than the previous record-holder, 1982 winner Chris Dickerson.

Rhoden hadn’t competed since his 2018 Olympia victory over then-champion Heath due to facing charges of s3xual assault. Those charges were still pending and a court date had yet to be set due to issues regarding the pandemic.
In recent years, Rhoden lived in Las Vegas, NV, where he helped grow Muscle Beach Nutrition, a supplement company with which he was heavily involved. He also served as a mentor and coach to many competitors throughout the IFBB Pro League. Rhoden is survived by one daughter.
