With UFC featherweight prospect, Sodiq Yusuff’s professional life already in the limelight due to his upcoming bout with Diego Lopes, perhaps fans have also become curious about his personal life. But fret not! ‘Super Sodiq’ is a happily married man!

Who is Sodiq Yusuff’s wife?

UFC featherweight, Sodiq Yusuff was born on 19th May 1993 in Lagos, Nigeria. Yusuff’s mother took him and his brother to the United States when he was 9 years old to pursue a better future for Yusuff and his brother.

Now coming to his lady love, while not much is known about how Sodiq Yusuff met his wife Ashley or how long they dated, the couple reportedly got engaged back in April 2022.

Though the couple has been legally together for almost two years now, they are yet to have children of their own.

Now that we know all about the special woman in Yusuff’s life, what about his professional life? Well, his opponent Diego Lopes recently discussed the upcoming bout and even stated how the Nigerian fighter is a “tough guy”.
