UFC Fight Night 37 Start Time: When and Where to Watch Gustafsson vs. Manuwa
In a continued effort to reinforce the Fight Pass platform, the UFC is bringing a few exciting, high-stakes bouts to Saturday's Fight Night 37 fight card—culminating in the showdown between light heavyweight contenders Alexander Gustafsson and Jimi Manuwa in London.
It wasn't long ago that the Swede was pushing champion Jon Jones to his limits. If he's successful on Saturday night, there's every reason to believe he'll get a second shot at the light heavyweight strap.
On the other hand, hometown favorite Jimi Manuwa may find a way to secure his 15th consecutive victory and maintain his undefeated status. With 93 percent of his wins coming by way of KO, he could cause Gustafsson some trouble in the stand-up exchanges.
