The 28-year-old Serra-Longo Fight Team flyweight carries a perfect 7-0 record and considers himself the sport’s best at 125 pounds.
flyweight titleholder missed almost two years with a hand injury that required multiple surgeries and resulted in a brief retirement from mixed martial arts. Nkuta returned to the cage in 2023 after a 595-day layoff and proceeded to put two more notches in the win column. It was as if he never left.. “I was still kind of helping some guys out. I was coaching a little bit, but my mind was always in this game. I’ve worked so hard over the years and still do work hard. This is like walking for me.
“I’m a perfectionist to the fullest,” Nkuta said. “It’s the reason why I think I’m the best in the world. It’s the reason why I train so hard. It’s the reason why I try and have flawless performances. Because I’m that , sometimes I’m way too invested in certain things that I do. I needed that time away almost to like find myself outside of MMA. This sport calls me back. It’s in my blood at this point.
