BIOGRAPHY

Kennedy Nzechukwu is a UFC fighter in the Light Heavyweight division. He was born and raised in Nigeria, but moved to America when he was 18 years old to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional MMA fighter.

Nzechukwu began training at the age of fourteen, under the tutelage of Muhsin Corbbrey at American Top Team (ATT) Houston, Texas. After graduating from high school, Kennedy continued his development as an amateur MMA athlete before turning pro in 2017.
