Kennedy Nzechukwu explains the importance of UFC ESPN 39 win

“This win means a lot to me because my mother has Lou Gehrig’s disease Als lateral sclerosis – it’s a muscle debilitating disease,” Nzechukwu told reporters at the UFC on ESPN 39 post-fight press conference. “I’m her primary care giver, so I don’t really have much of a life beyond going to church, training and taking care of her. This means a lot because of my mom.”
