Kansas City, USA – 23 April 2025 | Uganda’s David Onama will take on Georgia’s Giga Chikadze in a featherweight contest dubbed “Tale of the Tape” at the T-Mobile Center, Kansas city in the USA on Sunday, 27th April 2025.
David Onama 30 also nicknamed “the Silent Assassin” and Giga Chikadze 36, all weigh 65.8 Kg with the same reach of 188 cm.
David Onama, meanwhile, is a surging featherweight from Uganda, now training at Factory X Muay Thai. At 30 years old, he’s slightly shorter at 5’11” but matches Chikadze’s reach. Onama boasts a 13-2 record and is riding a three-fight win streak.
He’s a dangerous, athletic striker with knockout power, averaging over five significant strikes landed per minute, much higher than Chikadze’s output, but he also absorbs more shots. Onama’s grappling is improving, and he’s shown a willingness to mix things up, but his defense isn’t as tight as Chikadze’s.
Last November (2024), Onama out-punched Roberto Romero at UFC 309. If he defeats Chikadze who is ranked 11th, Onama has a possibility of earning a top 15 ranking in the Featherweight division.
Giga Chikadze is a Georgian striker known for his elite kickboxing background and technical stand-up skills. He’s 36 years old, stands 6’0” with a 74-inch reach. Chikadze is an orthodox fighter who lands just under four significant strikes per minute and defends well, absorbing fewer shots than he dishes out.
He’s best remembered for impressive wins over Alex Caceres, Edson Barboza, and Cub Swanson, but his momentum has been hampered by injuries and a tough loss to Arnold Allen. Chikadze’s inactivity and age are talking points, with some wondering if he’s still at his peak after a long layoff and a punishing defeat to Calvin Kattar.
