Mixed martial arts career

Early career

[edit]

Lungiambula was born in Kinshasa, Zaire. When Lungiambula was eight-years-old, his father brought him his first judo uniform. Since that time, Lungiambula had practiced judo, eventually earning a black belt. He represented the Congolese National Judo Team from 2007 to 2009[citation needed], before switching to MMA in 2010. Following the switch, he moved to Table View where he fought in the Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC). In August 2016, Lungiambula became a winner of the EFC light heavyweight title, and the same year competed at the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship and ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship.[citation needed] In June 2018, he was a winner of the EFC heavyweight title.[3] He signed a contract with the UFC in December 2018.[4]
