BIOGRAPHY

He’s the elephant in the room, as his UFC record is only 1-1 which isn’t nearly as impressive as the records of the other Nigerians fighters in the UFC. However, Kennedy Nzechukwu has shown that he could be great in the future. He certainly has the physique to be a menace in the heavyweight division.

His record outside the UFC is also pretty decent, as he’s overall 7-1 in his career. The UFC will likely give him a low-ranked heavyweight to fight next to see where he really stands in the organization.
