UFC on FUEL TV 5 – Jimi Manuwa vs. Kyle Kingsbury completes September 29th card in Nottingham, England
It has today been revealed that UK light heavyweight knockout artist, Jimi Manuwa will take on former “Ultimate Fighter” cast member, Kyle Kingsbury on the UFC on FUEL TV 5 card set for September 29th in Nottingham, England.
The news comes via UFC.com with this fight likely completing the UK card. Bout agreements have likely been signed and returned by both parties.
Manuwa brings with him an 11-0 record to the octagon with ten wins coming by way of TKO or KO and the other ending via guillotine choke. Nine of his eleven career wins have ended in the very first round making him a very dangerous prospect for anyone if he can get off first.
Kingsbury has lost his last two fights inside the octagon, dropping a unanimous decision to Stephan Bonnar before Glover Teixeira submitted him in the very first round. Prior to that he’d won four-fights in a row inside the octagon, moving him neatly up the ranks.
