Jimi Manuwa
He walked away from the sport after a brutal head kick knockout against rising start Aleksandar Rakic at UFC Stockholm. The finish came just 42 seconds into the fight and was Manuwa’s fourth consecutive loss, three of which came by KO.
One of the prime concerns among fight fans was Manuwa’s ability to withstand the punishment thrown at him after all these years. All but one of his six career defeats have come by knockout.
Manuwa has only ever lost to the top guys at 205lbs. Many of those fights he was well in with a shout of winning until the end. So, him coming back is unlikely to be a disaster. With UFC London taking place on March 16, it seems like perfect timing for his comeback.
