Idk yet, Poster Boy's record is sure impressive if you look deeper into it though he never faced strong competition. Not saying he can't beat Kingsbu but it won't be that easy.

@MMApicker congrats on the blackbelt btw.

Kingsbury has gotten the snot kicked out of him the last 2 fights but I think he is gonna try and turn it around and not go for a 3 loss streak.

Manuwa is a brutal finisher but his competition is very weak, I wish I knew whether Kingsbury was planning on trading blows again or if he will do the smart thing and test Manuwa's grappling

If Kingsbury actually relies on his grappling then I could see him completely dominating Manuwa, but I think he tests his stand up.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Kingsbury had gotten cut after the Teixeira loss.

Guess it was inaccurate.

Prediction: correct Manuwa   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Kingsbury is getting cut after he loses this fight.

He's physically a beast but that's about as far as it goes

He lost to Maldonado and his win against Romero is hardly a win looking at Romero's serious lack of skills and chin it seems.

And Hamman is currently getting his ass handed to him at 185 so the credibility of that win is slightly meh unfortunately.

Kingsbury seems like a cool guy but Manuwa will expose him.

Manuwa is a killer. He previously refused the UFC contract saying he needs to "shake off some ring rust". After killing 2 more guys when Dana again came running to him with the contract in hand he said "OK, now I'm ready".

This fight all depends on whether or not Kingsbury will wrestle Manuwa. If Kingsbury decides to use his wrestling he is winning this fight. But if he doesn't its gonna be a bad night for Kingsbu.

Agreed mike, if kingsbury decides hes going to stand and bang then he's getting his head taken off.

I'll be looking forward to seeing how Manuwa does in the UFC. Havn't seen too much of him to be honest, but I hear good things. Kingsbu is a solid debut fight.

I'll take Kingsbury just because he offers a solid challenge to any mid-tier fighter.
