Chidi Njokuani is compiling quite the highlight reel thus far in his Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure.
The former Bellator MMA talent earned a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus thanks to a vicious standing elbow knockout of Dusko Todorovic in a featured middleweight encounter at UFC Fight Night 206 on Saturday. “Chidi Bang Bang” brought an end to the contest at the 4:48 mark of Round 1. The victory comes on the heels of a 16-second KO of Marc-Andre Barriault in his Octagon debut.
Elsewhere, Michel Pereira and Santiago Ponzinibbio received “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for an entertaining slugfest in the evening’s welterweight co-main event.
