Prior to one of the biggest UK MMA fights of 2011, we spoke with Jimi Manuwa who will be defending his Light Heavyweight title against Nick Chapman on 22 Oct 11.
Jimi 'The Poster Boy' Manuwa found MMA in 2008 following a weight lifting injury. Since then he has racked up an impressive nine wins, no losses record. Not only is he the current Light Heavyweight UCMMA title holder, but in 2011 he opened his gym in Croydon called Lions Pride MMA which has already proved a success.
