March 2014
Future opponents Alexander Gustafsson and Jimi Manuwa pose during a promotional photo call on top of London’s O2 Arena, the venue they will fight each other inside in March. The two light heavyweight foes were booked to headline UFC Fight Night 37 in the English capital, and during the buildup, they had the chance to look out on the city’s skyline from the dome structure’s viewing platform – 52m above the ground. Fierce striker Manuwa told Fighters Only the day prior he was scared of heights, but wasn’t going to let his opponent get one up on him before the first round by backing out. It all begs the question: will their battle blow the roof off the 20,000-seat arena?
