CHIDI NJOKUANI

Hailing from the United States, Chidi Njokuani honed his craft at Janjira Muay Thai. This orthodox fighter has competed in both the middleweight and welterweight classes across organizations such as RFA, Bellator MMA, and the UFC. Throughout his professional journey, he has relied on a striking-heavy approach to accumulate several knockout finishes. His path to the world's premier promotion was solidified when he secured a contract after a successful performance on Dana White's Contender Series.

Heading into his matchup at this event, Njokuani holds a career record of 22-10-0 with one no-contest. His recent activity shows a difficult stretch of results. He suffered a knockout defeat to Michał Oleksiejczuk, a split decision loss against Albert Duraev, and a stoppage loss versus Gregory Rodrigues. These setbacks followed a pair of victories where he finished both Marc-André Barriault and Duško Todorović via strikes.
