Giga
Chikadze (15-4) is set to return to action against David Onama
(13-2).
Chikadze and Onama will trade leather in a featherweight matchup at
a UFC
Fight Night on April 5 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The
matchup was first reported by @MagicM_MMABets on X. Onama subsequently
confirmed the pairing via social media.
Chikadze started his UFC journey on a seven-fight unbeaten streak,
a run that included a few spectacular finishes. However, the
Georgian has since dropped two out of his last three, albeit
against top-tier competition. “Ninja” last suffered a unanimous
decision loss against Arnold
Allen at UFC 304 in July 2024.
Meanwhile, Onama is riding a three-fight winning streak after going
2-2 in his first four UFC bouts. “Silent Assassin” is coming off a
unanimous decision win over debutant Roberto
Romero at UFC 309 this past November.
