Featherweight prospect Ronnie Mann eyes WEC bid, shot at Jose Aldo

When MMA fans talk about the new generation of mixed martial artists,
the generation that’s been competing since middle school, they’re
talking about featherweight Ronnie Mann.

Mann, a resident of Cheltonham, England, took up
Muay Thai at 11 and had his first tournaments in jiu-jitsu and
kickboxing at the age of 13. School was a place to pass time before the
gym. He had his first amateur fight at 16 and turned pro one year later.

Now 20 fights into his MMA career, Mann has his eyes set on the WEC and a showdown with another young phenom, Jose Aldo
