Chuka Willis The Lion King of Kansas
Chuka Willis is a 31-year-old mixed martial artist standing 5'11" (180cm) and fighting out of Emporia, Kansas. Known as The Lion King, he represents American Top Team HD in the Featherweight division and carries a 14-7-0 professional record. Willis alternates between Featherweight and Lightweight, but his last six fights—four in Featherweight—have cemented his place among North America’s most active regional fighters.
Ranked #333 in North America, Willis appears in the standings for US Midwest, US Southwest, Kansas & Missouri and Oklahoma—each region where he has competed at least twice in his past six outings. That cross-regional consistency underscores a career built on adaptability and persistence rather than flash. As he prepares for his next bout, Willis brings both the experience of more than 20 professional fights and the regional pedigree earned from a steady climb through local MMA circuits.
