The Complete Guide to UFC Fight Night 107: Manuwa vs. Anderson

The UFC returns to London with a decent card on its Fight Pass platform this Saturday, March 18. In the main event, talented light heavyweights Jimi Manuwa and Corey Anderson meet to decide who will get a shot at an elite fighter in a division that badly needs new blood.

To be clear, this isn’t an especially compelling main event. Neither Anderson nor Manuwa has much of a profile, and the stakes here aren’t obvious or high. With that said, it should be a fun fight between two intriguing competitors.

The rest of the card fits that profile as well. There’s nothing here that screams relevance, but everything is well-matched and has the potential for entertainment.

The co-main event features Iceland’s Gunnar Nelson against Alan Jouban in an excellent welterweight scrap, while Brad Pickett draws Marlon Vera in his retirement fight. The featherweight bout between Arnold Allen and Makwan Amirkhani might be the best fight on the card.

The preliminary card features a mixture of talented prospects and action bouts. Ireland’s Joe Duffy headlines the preliminary portion with an intriguing matchup against Reza Madadi, and the welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Vicente Luque is a slobberknocker in the making. Keep a close eye on prospects Tom Breese and Marc Diakiese, both of whom have enormous potential.

Let’s take a look at each fight.

Despite not being the champion at light heavyweight, everyone is still gunning for Jon Jones.

Jones reigned as the light heavyweight champ from 2011 to 2015 before being stripped of his title due to personal issues out-of-competition. Now currently serving a one-year suspension by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), Jones is expected to make his highly-anticipated return against the winner of current 205-pound champ Daniel Cormier and No. 1-ranked Anthony Johnson at UFC 210 next month (Sat. April 10, 2017).

This weekend (Sat. March 18, 2017) will feature a great 205-pound headliner at UFC London between No. 4-ranked Jimi Manuwa and No. 7-ranked Corey Anderson. Manuwa, who recently spoke to Sky Sports ahead of his Octagon return, recently commented on Jones’ historic career.

Manuwa stated that Jones’ past opponents have been rather ‘one-dimensional’ and he’d be interested to see how ‘Bones” would fare against a knockout specialist such as himself or ‘Rumble’ Johnson:

“I think I could knock him out,” Manuwa said. “He’s fought Teixeira, who is one-dimensional and doesn’t have the variety of striking that I’ve got. Jones has never fought a knockout specialist. I’d like to see him fight either me or ‘Rumble’, and see how he puts up with getting hit on the chin.”

Before ‘The Poster Boy’ can worry about a potential match-up with Jones, however, he has a tall task ahead of him in The Ultimate Fighter 19 (TUF 19) winner Corey Anderson, who has appeared motivated and refocused in the one bout we’ve seen him in following a close loss to former champion Shogun Rua at 2016’s UFC 198.

The two will collide in the main event of UFC London this weekend (Sat. March 18, 2017) from the O2 Arena in London, England.
