The dancing world seems to have accepted Chuck Liddell into its ranks. The UFC star is still alive on "Dancing With The Stars." How do you think the mixed martial arts world would've accepted Anthony Njokuani if he tried out for "The Ultimate Fighter" knowing his background was in break-dancing? That's right, Njokuani only got his start in MMA because a dance instructor told him to try kickboxing to add some acrobatics to his break-dancing routines. His kickboxing instructor was floored and told him that he might have a future in fighting. The instructor knew what he was talking about. The 29-year-old from Nigeria just moved to 11-2 and scored Knockout of the Night at WEC 43 this weekend. Njokuani hauled in $10,000 for his finish of Muhsin Corbbrey. He also won KO of the Night at WEC 40.

Fighting is in his blood but he hasn't lost touch with dancing roots:

"I do it every single day. I watch it. I still do it in my dreams," Njokuani told Adam Hill from the Las Vegas Review-Jourbal. "I have friends that came out to do a show, and they were teaching me a few new moves I can use in the cage."

Njokuani now trains in Las Vegas. He's a premier striker and now he's catching up on his wrestling game. The kid is quite a story having moved with his family at age three from war-torn Nigeria. 

It might be time to get him on some main cards and even in contention for a title run. Njokuani's only losses came against top five WEC lightweights Ben Henderson and Donald Cerrone.
