"I'm not one for predicting but I just know. I've just got this belief in myself, and he's probably got the same belief. But, I can't go in there and lose. I've had a good camp. I'm fit, I'm ready. How the hell is he going to beat me? That's what I always think in my fights. I'm just going to fight the way I fight. No one is going to bully me in the cage. I will not be bullied. I will not step back - it is not who I am. We are going to be two trains meeting in the middle of the cage. Let's see who gets pushed back. I'm not the one who is going to take a step backwards."

-Jimi Manuwa talks to FoxSports.com about his fight with Anthony "Rumble" Johnson this weekend at UFC 191, and why he doesn't see himself losing.

Penick's Analysis: Manuwa got beat up by a man Johnson himself stopped quickly, and though MMA math doesn't always add up, that's something to keep in mind into this fight. Of course, no one else has beaten Manuwa in his career, so he's got plenty of confidence in what he can do, and he has shown himself to be a very skilled and capable competitor. Can he stop Johnson? Absolutely; we've seen it happen before. Can he be stopped? Well, yes, we've seen that as well. This should be a violent and entertaining fight for however long it lasts, and with Manuwa vowing not to back down, that may not be very long either way.
