With less than two months until the event, UFC Fight Night 107 finally has a headliner.

A light heavyweight showdown between Jimi Manuwa (16-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Corey Anderson (9-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) tops March’s UFC Fight Night 107 lineup in London.

MMAjunkie confirmed the news with a UFC official. The fight has yet to be formally announced by the promotion as the headliner.

UFC Fight Night 107 takes place March 18 at The O2 in London. The entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass.

Manuwa started his pro career 14-0, including his first three in the UFC by TKO, all in England. But he has alternated wins and losses for his past five fights. After a TKO loss to eventual title challenger Alexander Gustaffson, Manuwa rebounded with a decision win over Jan Blachowicz in Poland in April 2015 – the first time he had to go to the distance in his career. After a knockout loss to Anthony Johnson at UFC 191, he bounced back with a bonus-winning knockout of Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 204 this past October.

Anderson, the Season 19 winner of “The Ultimate Fighter,” got back in the win column in December with a second-round TKO of Sean O’Connell at UFC Fight Night 102. Prior to that, he lost a questionable split decision to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 198 in Brazil in May, which snapped a three-fight winning streak of unanimous decisions. More than 80 percent of the media members who scored the fight, tracked by MMADecisions.com, scored the Rua loss for Anderson.
