It wasn't the brain-melting knockout expected from the heavy-handed Jimi Manuwa, but "The Posterboy" did enough to take a workman-like unanimous decision victory over Jan Blachowicz.
In what felt more like a 15-minute feeling out process, Manuwa outworked Blachowicz on the feet, landing the harder, more varied strikes, including a decent flurry as the time ticked down in the final stanza.
Following the bout, Manuwa admitted to suffering an injury leading up to the fight, but decided not to pull out.
Manuwa said he wants to start “picking off the top 10” in the light heavyweight division.
