A trio of fights have been added to the Oct. 26 UFC Fight Night event in Manchester, England.
At light heavyweight, Canadian Ryan Jimmo will meet Jimi Manuwa. At flyweight, John Lineker meets Phil Harris. And featherweights Jimmy Hettes and Mike Wilkinson will square off.
The bouts were announced on Tuesday’s edition of UFC Tonight.
Jimmo (18-2) is looking to improve to 3-1 in the UFC. The New Brunswick native made a memorable UFC debut with seven-second knockout of Anthony Perosh at UFC 149. Since then, he dropped a decision to James Te Huna and then won a decision over Igor Pokrajac at UFC 161. In Manuwa, he’ll meet an undefeated Londoner who improved to 13-0 with a TKO of Cyrille Diabate on Feb. 16.
Lineker (22-6), a 23-year-old Brazilian, is looking for his fourth straight UFC win. He defeated Jose Maria via TKO at UFC 163 in a catchweight bout, the second time in four UFC fights Lineker missed weight. Harris (22-10, 1 NC) trains out of Portsmouth, England and is looking for his second straight UFC victory.
Hettes (10-1), meanwhile, has waited a year to get over his first career loss. The Pennsylvania featherweight was stymied by Marcus Brimage at UFC 152, but injuries have kept him out of action. Wilkinson (8-1), who appeared on TUF: Smashes, is looking to shake off a loss to Rony Jason in his last fight.
The event at Manchester Arena will be headlined by Michael Bisping vs. Mark Munoz.
