A pivotal light heavyweight bout headlines the UFC's return to London as Corey Anderson and Jimi Manuwa take center stage in the UFC Fight Night main event.
Manuwa has lost just twice in his UFC career -- to top contender Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Johnson -- but outside out that has racked up a long list of knockouts en route to his position as the fourth best light heavyweight in the world.
His opponent, Anderson, is a TUF winner and has gotten his hand raised in four of his last five fights. A win here would not only propel him into the division's top five but could also force his name into the title conversation.
In the co-main event, welterweights Gunnar Nelson and Alan Jouban throw down while bantamweight Brad Pickett makes his final trip to the Octagon to take on Marlon Vera.
The main card action gets underway at 5PM/2PM ETPT with a showdown between high-flying featherweights Makwan Amirkhani and Arnold Allen. Keep it here for blow-by-blow coverage and afterwards for news, results and analysis from UFC Fight Night: Manuwa vs. Anderson.
