Sayif Saud getting ‘ahead of the curve’ with Kennedy Nzechukwu, Ryan Spann heavyweight moves

BAD MMA News — Sun, 29 Dec 2024 00:40:29 +0000

Fortis MMA head coach Sayif Saud sees a trend coming with light heavyweights and has two examples of high-level fighters under his wing leading the way. Kennedy Nzechukwu and Ryan Spann started their UFC careers in the light heavyweight division and have now made a move to heavyweight. Nzechukwu (14-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) has already fought twice in his new division. After dropping two straight at light heavyweight, Nzechukwu moved up in October and made quick work of Chris Barnett at UFC 308. He then turned around and recorded another first-round finish of Lukas Brzeski at UFC 310 in December, which earned a Performance of the Night bonus

Kennedy Nzechukwu felt ‘so bad’ about extra shots in UFC 310 finish of Lukasz Brzeski

BAD MMA News — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 19:06:06 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Kennedy Nzechukwu thought his UFC 310 fight with Lukasz Brzeski could’ve been halted after his knockdown, but the referee thought otherwise, so he had to keep going. Nzechukwu (14-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC), who has proven to be a humble person throughout his octagon tenure, improved to 2-0 since moving up to heavyweight from the light heavyweight division in October when he dropped and stopped Brzeski (9-6-1 MMA, 1-5 UFC) for a first-round TKO this past weekend at T-Mobile Arena. After Brzeski was floored with a clean left hook, Nzechukwu pounced with additional shots until it was waved off

ABU DHABI – UFC 308 marked a pair of fresh experiences for Kennedy Nzechukwu . Nzechukwu (13-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC ) made his divisional debut Saturday at heavyweight as he defeated Chris Barnett (23-9 MMA, 2-3 UFC ) via first-round TKO at Etihad Arena on Yas Island. The fight ended due in part to an injury to Barnett’s leg, but Nzcehukwu was still happy to simply get his feet wet in his new competitive frame. “It was since my doctors told me that with my frame, my organs were going to hurt me in the long run,” Nzechukwu told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “I was vomiting every time during fight week
