Ufc has no mercy for jones whos fighting a killer.
they have mercy for gus do//
That's because Gus is the real champ :-0
All of Manuwa's UFC fights have ended under weird circumstances. So it's still hard to gauge just how good he is. But this is definitely his big chance to prove how good he is and make a name for himself.
I'd have to go with Gustafsson at this point based on how he's performed against a higher level of competition, but it's definitely an interesting fight.
I think Gus takes him down to show off his wrasslin/jitz
Good fight imo
I dont like it
War posterboy!
Lions eat first
fraz1001 - Crazy gimme fight for Gus.
What happens if Gus loses tho? Who does Jimi fyt
Yeah man exactly what I was thinking.
Manuwa can win this he has that speciale momentum and confidence and pretty good standup.
Not a smart matchup to make from the ufc.
There are no gimme fights...period
Stoked for Jimi getting a title fight and all but Gus will remain champ.
I really like Jimi, gonna be pulling for him, but at this point in their careers I think Gus takes it, I hope I'm wrong though
Wow what a matchup, thats a hell of a match up, surprising choice.
Maybe he'll suffer the jimi jinx and keel over midfight.
This is a perfect fight for Jimi. Anyone with half a brain knows he has a chance to take it. But expectations are going to be low because Gustaffson just put on such a good performance with the champ. Plus it is the first real jump in talent that Jimi will have experienced in the UFC. Even if Jimi loses but puts on a good performance his stock will rise considerably.
On the other hand it is terrible for Gustaffson, in fighting Jimi he is taking on someone with little to no name value outside of the hardcore fans and is seen as being on a considerably lower level. Even if he demolishes Jimi (which I can't see happening) he isn't going to gain anything from it.
I hate this fight. I want to see gus go at jones again but not by beating jimi. I can't root against our own. Hate it!

He will gain a title shot with a win, but I agree thats all his gettin.
I agree Jimi can take this and not only by jinx. lol
This is BS. Yes Jimi is 3-0 in UFC and 14-0 overall but that doesn't mean he's ready for TITLE CONTENTION! This is purely a business fight at Jimi's expense but you know what...
Lions.
Eat.
First.
Great opportunity for Manuwa
Haha vd for my comment you dorks lol
