UFC Fight Night 37 fight card previews stream for 'Gustafsson vs Manuwa' in London on Fight Pass

UFC Fight Night 37 takes place at O2 Arena, in London, England, this weekend (Sat., March 8, 2014), with a 3 p.m. ET start time for the main card on Fight Pass digital network. The mixed martial arts (MMA) event features a pivotal light heavyweight headliner between former title challenger Alexander Gustafsson and undefeated wrecking machine Jimi Manuwa. Many thought Gustafsson should have walked out of his UFC 165 classic against Jon Jones with the gold strapped around his waist, but he now has to re-establish his standing against the dangerous Manuwa in “Poster Boy's” backyard. In the night’s co-main event, talented but inconsistent lightweight veteran Melvin Guillard will take on a tough replacement in Michael Johnson, who replaces the injured Ross Pearson against his former Blackzilians teammate. The always exciting Brad “One Punch” Pickett will fight in front of his British brethren as he takes on promotional newcomer Neil Seery. Pickett’s first foray at flyweight was originally scheduled against No. 3-ranked Ian McCall, but those plans fell apart when “Uncle Creepy” pulled out with yet another injury. The opening main card bout features an interesting match-up of welterweights Gunnar Nelson and Omari Akhmedov. The returning Nelson has been sidelined since Feb. 2013. Akhmedov made a splash in his Octagon debut by knocking out Thiago Perpetuo in a “Fight of the Night”-winning affair at UFC Fight Night 32. With both fighters highly accomplished grapplers and talented strikers, this fight could end up stealing the show. MMAmania.com will provide several previews leading up to UFC Fight Night 37, which we will feature in this story stream right up until fight night.
