Jimi Manuwa vs. Nikita Krylov booked for UFC Fight Night 83 in London

A pivotal light heavyweight clash between Jimi Manuwa and Nikita Krylov is scheduled for UFC Fight Night 83 in London, England early next year, according to Daily Mail Online, who reported the news on Tuesday. At this time, UFC officials haven't confirmed the matchup.

Manuwa (15-2) headlined the last UFC event in London last year, but dropped a TKO loss to top contender Alexander Gustafsson. Since then, he has defeated Jan Blachowicz via decision at UFC Fight Night 64, but most recently was finished by former title challenger Anthony Johnson earlier this year.
