About Nico Cornejo

Nico Cornejo looms as a dangerous proposition for any lightweight MMA athlete on the ONE roster. 

“The Steel City Kid” is a talented wrestler who has been honing his craft in the highly effective discipline since he was just 8 years old. 

Despite his grappling talents, the Colorado, United States, native does his best work while the fight is standing. His devastating punching power has seen him forge a successful MMA career on the regional circuit. 

After an undefeated run as an amateur, Cornejo stormed into the professional ranks with a series of jaw dropping knockouts in 2023. 

His finishing ability brought him to the attention of ONE Championship in 2024, and he now has his sights set on adding more highlights to his reel on the global stage.
