Chidi Njokuani | Finding A New Home At Welterweight

Starting his UFC career with two first-round knockouts, Chidi Njokuani was forced to make a change following three straight losses in the span of a year.

After 10 fights at middleweight, dating back to 2017, Njokuani decided to move back down to welterweight in hopes of finding the same success he had in his first two Octagon appearances.

It’s safe to say he’s done exactly that. Njokuani has secured a victory in each of his last three outings, with decision wins over Rhys McKee and Jared Gooden, followed by a second-round stoppage win over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos in March.
