Jimi Manuwa was looking to get back into the win column and was scheduled to face Nikita Krylov in a light heavyweight contest at UFC Fight Night 83 in February. Alas, that was not to be, at least not on that fight card. Manuwa has been injured and as a consequence, his bout with Krylov has been canceled. The UFC made the news official on Thursday:

Manuwa, 35, last fought in September at UFC 191 where he suffered a TKO loss at the hands of Anthony Johnson.
