Babajimi was born in California and lived there until three when his father moved the family back to Nigeria.[6] His family has links to the Nigerian chieftaincy system; his grandfather was the medical pioneer Sir Samuel Manuwa, who was a chief, and his great-great-grandfather was Oba Kuheyin, a king of Itebu-Manuwa.[7][8]
Manuwa moved to London, England, at ten. He got in trouble as a teen and did not finish school. After being convicted of conspiracy to burgle, he was sent to prison in 2002 and got out in 2003.[9]
Mixed martial arts career
Manuwa began training in mixed martial arts in 2007, following a weight lifting injury where he ruptured a chest muscle. He currently trains at Keddles Gym with Alan Keddle and Dino Miringou and at Nova Força BJJ with Ricardo da Silva.
UCMMA
Manuwa began fighting for UCMMA name in only his third professional fight, becoming the promotion's champion in his third fight under them. He successfully defended his title 5 times, more than any other champion in the company, past or present.
During this time period, Manuwa famously turned down a contract offer from the Ultimate Fighting Championship, feeling it wasn't the right time in his career to accept it. He did state that reaching the UFC was his "ultimate goal" in the future.[10] He was then offered to fight at the UFC 138 event, but also refused that one, citing that he hadn't competed since summer of 2010, and that "If he fought on the October card that would have been after a fifteen-month layoff, which is not ideal under any circumstances. You do need to be fighting regularly to stay sharp..."[11]
He successfully defended his title for the fifth time at UCMMA 24: Hands of War, against Nick Chapman.[12]
BAMMA
After defending his title a record 5th time, Manuwa signed a four fight, exclusive contract with BAMMA. He made his debut at BAMMA 8.[13] He faced Frenchman Antony Rea and won the fight via TKO.

For his second fight with the promotion, Manuwa faced Cyrille Diabaté on 16 February 2013 at UFC on Fuel TV: Barão vs. McDonald. Manuwa was declared the winner (TKO) after Diabaté was unable to continue after tearing a calf muscle near the end of the first round.[15]
Manuwa returned to face Ryan Jimmo on 26 October 2013 at UFC Fight Night 30.[16] For the second time in a row, Manuwa's opponent injured his leg during the fight and this resulted in a TKO victory for Manuwa.[17]
Manuwa was expected to face Maurício Rua at UFC Fight Night 56 on 8 November 2014 in Brazil.[22] However, on 29 October, it was announced that Manuwa had pulled out of the fight due to an injury, and that Ovince St. Preux would replace him against Rua.[23]
After over a year away from the sport, Manuwa returned to face Jan Błachowicz on 11 April 2015 at UFC Fight Night 64.[24] Manuwa won the fight via unanimous decision, going the distance for the first and only time in his MMA career.[25]
