I have Gusty as a pretty big favorite but Manuwa is no joke and after all this is MMA.
Would Manuwa go to #1 contender status or need to win at least one more big fight?
How far would Gusty drop, who would he fight next and how many wins would he need to get another shot at the belt.
This is a huge and pretty dangerous fight for the Swede. A loss derails him big time. A win and we get to see him rightfully go for another chance at the LHW belt.
Oh.....and outstanding use of the apostrophe on my part.
Manuwa's hands are made of iron. Gus is a big scrappy guy. I could see this going either way. Gus does have the threat of takedowns to offer and Jimmy is pure standup. If Gus wins it's by decision or late TKO. If Manuwa wins it's by Ko.
If Gus wins, rematch with Jones. If Manuwa wins either he faces Jones or if Jones is injured in his defense against Glover I could see Manuwa vs Cormier.
