Flocombat’s\u00a0Jim Edwards\u00a0<\/a>was first to report the news announcing\u00a0that feared 205-pound striker Jimi Manuwa would be taking on Corey Anderson at the event.<\/p>\n

Jimi Manuwa was last seen in action at October’s UFC 204 event in Manchester where he scored a highlight reel knockout victory over Ovince Saint Preux<\/a>. Prior to scoring the devastating knockout over “OSP”, the “Poster Boy” was coming off a knockout loss to top light heavyweight contender Anthony “Rumble” Johnson at UFC 191 in September of 2015.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Corey Anderson has won four of his past five contests, his latest being a TKO victory over Sean O’Connell at December’s at UFC Fight Night event in Albany. Prior to that, Anderson was coming off a close split-decision loss to former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 198 this past May in Brazil.<\/p>\n

\"Corey<\/p>\n

The winner of this key light heavyweight tilt will likely be in a position for a number one contenders bout in the future.<\/p>\n

Current UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is expected to defend his title in a rematch against Anthony Johnson later this Spring.<\/p>\n
