American orthodox striker Chidi "Chidi Bang Bang" Njokuani began his professional mixed martial arts career in 2007. Inspired by his brother, he took up Muay Thai at a young age. Njokuani trained with Janjira Muay Thai, One Kick's Gym, and Sergio Penha BJJ, competing in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions. Recognized for his striking, he built a career that included tenures in Bellator and the UFC.
Heading into UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs. Salkild, Njokuani holds a pre-event record of 5-14-0. His recent run includes knockout victories over Marc-André Barriault and Duško Todorović. However, he enters this card following three consecutive defeats: a technical knockout loss to Gregory Rodrigues, a split decision loss to Albert Duraev, and a technical knockout loss against Michał Oleksiejczuk on August 26, 2023.
