“Chidi Needs to Retire” – Fans Erupt as Dana White Contender Series Winner Chidi Njokuani Slumps to 3 Fight Losing Skid Against Michal Oleksiejczuk at UFC Singapore

The UFC has returned to Singapore this weekend, presenting an enticing array of matchups. This marks the sixth venture of the organization to this Asian city-state, with the previous visit in June 2022. The spotlight of the night is on the main event between featherweight division powerhouses Max Holloway and Chan Sung Jung. These renowned fighters have been prominent figures in their division for a long time but are set to face each other in the Octagon for the first time.

Before fans could witness the bout between Holloway and Chan Sung Jung, they were lucky enough to watch the electrifying bout between Chidi Njokuani and Michal Oleksiejczuk. The bout was an exciting spectacle for the MMA fans, which ended with Njokuani facing a disheartening loss. During the middleweight preliminary bout, Oleksiejczuk took severe head kicks from Chidi Njokuani. However, this energized Oleksiejczuk, who swiftly countered and took the fight to the ground. He then dominated Njokuani, ending the bout in the first round.

Before fighting in UFC Singapore, Njokuani faced off against Albert Duraev at UFC on ESPN 43. Back then, he lost the bout via split decision after a three-round bout. Now, fans believe that he has nothing more to offer and should retire.
