Philemon Jeb Bitrus — The African Spartan — represents the new face of African MMA. Born and raised in Nigeria, Jeb embodies strength, resilience, and determination. At only 22 years old, he already commands an impressive professional MMA record of 7–1, with standout victories in prestigious events such as SFC Championship (2024), AFC Championship (2024), Eric Favre MMA (2025), and AKO Championship (2025).

Jeb’s ambition is clear: not only to win, but to redefine what it means to be a Nigerian athlete on the global stage. His journey is guided by discipline, national pride, and a vision to inspire millions of African youths. Over the next 24 months, his roadmap will take him through elite training camps in Asia and Africa, championship fights across continents, and ultimately, into the UFC by 2027.

Through African Spartans Global Sports Ltd., Jeb’s brand extends beyond the octagon. It is a movement — combining professional fighting, merchandise, sponsorships, training programs, and youth inspiration. Every fight, every camp, and every sponsorship is part of building a legacy for Africa in combat sports.

“This is not just about me. It’s about Nigeria standing tall on the global stage of MMA.” — The African Spartan
