    ······························
    Coming off a crushing loss at the hands of Volkan Oezdemir in a title eliminator, #4 ranked light heavyweight Jimi Manuwa looks to get back on track, giving Jan Błachowicz a rare chance to avenge a one-sided loss suffered in his home country of Poland three years ago. Only this time, Manuwa gets to fight in front of his home country of England.

    In a much different fight than the first, the Polish fighter shows off his much improved striking, popping his crisp jab often and efficiently, landing solid combinations, countering well, checking the kicks etc... Almost finishing Manuwa in the very first round. But Manuwa survived and recovered, fighting with a lot of heart and making it an exciting fight that earned both man FOTN honors while propelling Błachowicz in the rankings.
