EARLY LIFE
Adamu Isah started life in Nigeria before making a significant decision to travel to the US at the young age of 18. He began his professional MMA career six years after relocating, but his first experience with combat sports was at the age of 10. Isah had just lost his father and was always in trouble and getting beat up by bigger kids. Hoping to defend himself, he decided to learn Taekwondo and was lucky enough to find a coach willing to be a mentor and father figure.
The Nigerian-born fighter gained entry into the Cadet team in the Nigerian Tae Kwon Do Federation at the age of 14. He later graduated to the senior team, where he competed at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburg, Scotland, and won a gold medal. He pointed out Martin Nguyen, the Australian fighter, as an inspiration in his MMA career. The athlete is affiliated with Kill Cliff FC and has been in six pro-MMA fights and two amateur bouts.
