Glad to see Chidi finally getting his time. It's a trip when you realize dude is really only 33, just entered his prime, but has been fighting pro MMA since 2007 and even farther back if you count his kickboxing career. Plus, his older brother Anthony is a UFC striking legend who back in his own prime, showcased some of the best striking in the lightweight division.

They do it in all sports. Used to do it to me as well. From the outside spectators don't often see upclose what is really going on. Competitors in competition also cheat intentionally & violate rules without being penalized, referees also have favoritism. Played sports since 4yrs old & been overseas & educated & worked crappy jobs. Been bullied countless times as well. Even sports Phycology lectures. Coached as well. MMA is Full Contact Sport so it's brutal to see Personal Fouls. MMA very Dangerous Sport. Good thing for Nut Cup Guards. Certain sports I stay away from eventhough I may love participating in it bcuz I learned Self Defense & MMA & I don't appreciate other Men Slapping me, punching my face, Elbowing me all over the body, spitting at me, Pushing me, kicking me, Shoving me. Wild bcuz most back down after challenging them to MMA Fight.

Chidi looks glitchy when he fights. I know It’s a result of his feints but the aesthetic is very unique… Izzy has a similar movement pattern but it’s a little more fluid. Njokuani’s movement style is smooth and choppy at the same time (almost like a 2 bit video game). He also has a poker face and sound that got me thinking he payed a visit to them west African voodoo lords 😂
