Jimi Manuwa KRAKOW, Poland – For the first time in his career, Jimi Manuwa found out what it was like to let the judges decide one of his fights. Thanks in part to his aggression and work rate, those judges were kind to Manuwa (15-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), handing him a unanimous decision victory (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) over Jan Blachowicz (18-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) after a grinding three-round affair. The light heavyweight bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC Fight Night 64 event at Tauron Arena in Krakow, Poland. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass. It probably won’t make anyone’s year-end list for the most thrilling bout, but it was a much-needed win for Manuwa, who displayed a patience we haven’t seen much during his time in the UFC. With Blachowicz looking to work behind a stiff jab, Manuwa walked his man down, backing him into the fence and punching his way into one clinch after another.
