Chidi Njokuani is set to co-headline UFC Fight Night 254 against Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, a bout he prefers due to its location in Las Vegas where he resides. Njokuani has fought exclusively at the UFC Apex, and he finds it easier to prepare at home—cutting weight, sleeping comfortably, and managing his routine without the stress of traveling. Although he’s open to fighting elsewhere, he emphasizes that the crowd's presence doesn't affect his mindset or performance in the Octagon.
"I like fighting at home because I get to cut weight here, I don't have to travel, I get to sleep more a bit."
"Once I get punched in the face, I don't really give a s-t who's watching. I'm just going out there and doing what I gotta do."
