Gibbs and Oxlade-Chamberlain had earlier helped Arsenal beat Everton 4-1 at the Emirates to secure a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

The Swede Gustafsson, who bounced back in impressive style from his narrow defeat to light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones last September.

Londoner Manuwa, who had been unbeaten in 14 MMA fights prior to Saturday night, was dropped early in the second round before Gustafsson pounced to finish the job.

He immediately targetted a rematch with Jones assuming the American comes through his title defence against Glover Teixeira at UFC 172 on April 26.

'I was so glad to get a decision because my last couple of fights have gone the distance,' Gustafsson said after the contest.

'The support of the fans here tonight was awesome, especially the ones that travelled from Sweden.

'Jimi Manuwa is a tough, powerful fighter so my strategy was to try and wear him down a bit and drain that power.

'I got grazed a couple of times and you could definitely feel how hard he can throw. I want Jon Jones next, I can't wait to have another chance at him.'
