Jimmy Manuwa, Former UFC Fighter, Explains Why He Attacked Alexandra Rakic at the UFC Fight Night 208 tournament, which took place last Sunday in London.
“It was not a blow from behind, we came face to face, and I slapped him. He left and did nothing. The guards came and that was it. I didn't make any scenes. I told him that I would slap him when I saw him. I did it. Rakich was passing by and I asked: “What do you say now?” He was confused. Alexander tried to move on, and I slapped him, but he stood like a fox in the headlights. After that, he didn't say anything. I don't know what's wrong with him. Once a fan asked who I would like to have a rematch with, and I named Rakic because I feel that I did not show my real skills. He replied: “I knocked you out. Do you need the money from the 50 grand I made?” Or he would send things and say he bought them using the money he got for knocking me out. He was disrespectful, and I told him to keep the same energy when we met. I had to give him what he deserves by acting like a troll and a keyboard warrior."
Recall that in the main event of UFC Fight Night 208, Curtis Blades won by TKO in the first round against Tom Aspinall.
