Chidi Njokuani entered the sport of MMA with a reputable name due to the exploits of his older brother Anthony, but he’s emerging as a star in his own right as one of Bellator’s most successful welterweights.
After getting off to a 5-3 start to begin his fighting career, the 28-year-old has now won 12 of his last 13 bouts (excluding one no-contest) highlighted by an unblemished mark in four appearances for Bellator. Up next, he gets an opportunity to leap up the rankings when he faces former champion Andrey Koreshkov in the main event of Bellator 182 on Friday at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.
