Jimi Manuwa injured, canceling UFC Fight Night 83 bout with Nikita Krylov

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:
