An orthodox welterweight born in Dallas, Texas, Chidi Njokuani built his career on a solid foundation of Muay Thai and kickboxing. Since launching his professional journey in 2007, the American striker has trained with Janjira Muay Thai, One Kick's Gym, and Sergio Penha BJJ. Prior to debuting in the UFC, he sharpened his skills while competing for promotions like Bellator and the Legacy Fighting Alliance.
He carries a 23-12 record with one no contest into UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues. In his most recent outing, Njokuani secured a unanimous decision victory over Joel Álvarez, rebounding from a decision loss to Carlos Leal Miranda and a submission defeat against Jake Matthews. Prior to those setbacks, he earned a TKO win over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and a unanimous decision against Jared Gooden.
