Ryan Jimmo returns to action against Jimi Manuwa at UFC Fight Night 30
Jimmo (18-2) holds a 2-1 record in the UFC and is coming off a very one-sided decision over Igor Pokrajac at UFC 161 in June. He recorded a ‘Knockout of the Night’ in his UFC debut against Anthony Perosh in just 7-seconds and followed up with a decision loss to James Te-Huna.
Manuwa (13-0) made his long-awaited UFC debut in September of 2012 when he TKO’d Kyle Kingsbury at UFC on FUEL TV 5. He then won his sophomore appearance against Cyrille Diabate via TKO due to a torn calf muscle in the first round.
UFC Fight Night 30 will take place on Oct. 26 at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. The headlining fight is a middleweight showdown between Michael Bisping and Mark Munoz.
