Jimi Manuwa segrade senast mot Corey Anderson via knockout och har nu siktet inställt på lätt-tungviktsmästaren Daniel Cormier. Manuwa förväntar sig nu att gå en match till innan han möter vinnaren mellan Cormier och forne mästaren Jon Jones som förväntas få gå match senare i sommar.
Engelsmannen är säker på att han kan knocka Cormier när de väl möts och att hans brottning kommer att överraska den före detta olumpiska brottaren.

DC’s performance… it’s what DC does. He takes people down and wrestles them. He doesn’t really impress me that much. He’s a great champion. He’s done great things. He’s always been the underdog. He’s been this short, fat wrestler who came and beat all these people. I respect him for that. He’s beaten some great names in the light heavyweight division, but I believe I can knock him out. I believe he won’t last two rounds with me at this moment in time. I’m at the peak of my career. I feel invincible. I feel untouchable now.
He’s a short, fat wrestler. That’s what he is. He’s going to try to take me down and maul me on the floor. That’s his only chance of winning the fight. He’s not going to stand up with me. He’s not going to beat me in the clinch, he’s not going to beat me boxing, kickboxing. He’s going to try to take me down and ground and pound or submit me.
He hasn’t seen my ground game,” he said. “He hasn’t seen my jiu jitsu. He hasn’t seen my wrestling. He’s got one way that he thinks he can win the fight.
Just give me two rounds, give me two rounds with DC,” he said. “Everyone that fights me should expect to get knocked out.
