Chidi Njokuani may currently be known to most MMA fans as the little brother of UFC talent Anthony Njokuani, but he doesn’t plan on perpetuating that label.

Chidi Njokuani has benefited from some generous martial-arts career advice at the right times.

Or, in some cases, demands. Take the scene at age 10, when his brother
Anthony, 10 years older, grabbed Njokuani after school one day.

“He just kind of forced me into it,” Njokuani told MMAjunkie.com with a
laugh. “He had been doing muay Thai in Dallas, and I came home from
school, and he said, ‘Get ready. You’re coming with me,’ What am I going
to say to that?”

A trip two months ago to Brazilian favela (shanty town) Tijuquinha prompted Brendan Schaub to return tonight. This time, he and his team are bearing gifts.

Three duffel bags worth of gear – from Schaub sponsors RevGear, Echo Unlimited and Bony Acai – are going to Troupa Thai, a school that teaches in the impoverished mini-city within Rio de Janeiro.

“The kids were practicing jiu-jitsu on the cement,” Schaub manager Lex McMahon told MMAjunkie.com as the team prepared to leave for the favela. “They had no gear. The guys from Troupa Thai said they could use some help.”

Four World Boxing Council muay Thai titles — two of which will be defended by mixed martial artists Ky Hollenbeck and Jeri Sitzes — will be on the line on Saturday

Growing up in a small southeastern Missouri town, Jeri Sitzes and her
sisters happened to live about a mile from a video store. But it wasn’t
just a video store. It included video games as well, perhaps most
notably “Street Fighter.”

It was the beginning of Sitzes’ martial arts education that would someday bloom into a wide-ranging career.

“We would kick the guys’ asses every day,” Sitzes told MMAjunkie.com.
“Then we would rent movies and take them home to learn whatever we could
from them. There was some horrible acting, but the fight scenes were
insane.”
