Jimi Manuwa thinks he's one or two wins from getting his hands on Daniel Cormier

[KazDibiase]

“I think, realistically, I need at least one more big win, if not two,” he said of a shot at Daniel Cormier’s belt. “I think people want to see the rematch with Volkan (Oezdemir) or me with someone like Glover (Teixeira). But who knows. After this fight with Blachowicz I’m definitely in the mix for it. Me and DC don’t like each other and that goes without saying. So I think people do want to see me fight him. People might write me off against him, but I believe in myself and what kind of fighter am I if I think, ‘Oh, if I fight him, he’s going to take me down and do this or do that.’ I believe in myself and I believe in what I can do.”

Agree with him or he's looking past Jan?

His foil chin will fail him before that happens

 

[trident]

DC is one or two fights from retiring so good luck with that

 

[Gambit MMA]

manuwa getting desperate these days....volkan no time'd your ass and sent you back down the ladder. dc retiring in 1-2 fights, you're not even on his radar as a potential fight lol. theirs other guys at 205 that make more sense and that'll sell more PPVs

 

[Kymbo]

Even if he manages to earn a shot at DC, it will be a one sided beat down.

 

[SimonNova]

He is right. We could say the same about me though.

 

[Soul On Ice]

He would be but by the time he gets those 3 wins DC will be retired

So it's not a shot at "DC's title", you're fighting Jones (suspension length pending) or sparring buddy Gus.

This dude is such a lethal striker. It's just a shame that his chin is probably the 2nd worst in the UFC right now behind Reem's. Rockhold hold a strong 3rd position there.

 

[UFC=Pride]

Yeah he's probably right but DC will have retired by that time

 

[truthisfreedom]

Meh. Manuwa is dead to me ever since getting shat on by Gus

 

[firstroundpick]

manuwa is delusional.. dc has 2 fights left max and he's already booked one of them

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Well he's not wrong any LHW is 2 away from DC title shot, got beat Gus and volkan. It's that easy I won't hold my breath Jimi can tho especially given DC got maybe 2 fights left if he retires next March as planned.

 

[Kaiokenrye24]

He's a gatekeeper because he doesnt have a chin

[Taco Loco]

DC is one dude he should not be looking for man...

 

[Thepaintbucket]

The LHW is thin, soo yeah. But DC ain't dropping back to LHW.

 

[kevinramsdell]

Glover says he should be next for a title shot.... after Gus whooped him for nearly 25 mins and knocked him out. I'm telling yall... post concussion syndrome is a real, and serious issue. Guys like Jimi and Glover forget the beating they took and don't see it as a bad loss.

LHW is in a very sad state right now

 

[g*r*b]

Weren't they talking about Manuwa for next TS before Volkan Özdimir no-timed him?

 

[Emjay]

Therein lies the problem

 

[dittohead84]

No timed or something
