Chidi Njokuani is widely recognized as one of the top fighters in the Bellator Mixed Martial Arts League. In 2021, he made his debut in the UFC, immediately capturing the attention of fans and critics alike.
Njokuani’s first two fights ended in impressive victories, showcasing his skills as a striker. He excels in close combat. He utilizes elbows and knees very often. With an explosive attack, Njokuani is a formidable opponent in the octagon.
On the other hand, Jared Gooden’s career in the UFC has been less successful. Despite starting off strong, he has suffered three defeats. After a brief hiatus, he returned to the league last year, only to be defeated once again. However, in his last fight, he managed to secure a victory with a choke hold.
Both Njokuani and Gooden are expected to keep the fight standing, with Gooden attempting to close the distance and take Njokuani down. Gooden has a history of performing well in the clinch, so Njokuani’s main objective will be to prevent the fight from turning into a wrestling match.
