"The Ultimate Fighter 5" finalist Manny Gamburyan (8-4 MMA, 0-0 WEC) is likely to make his WEC and 145-pound debut against Jon Franchi (5-0 MMA, 1-0 WEC) at the recently announced WEC 41 according to a report from MMAMadness.
The report cites sources close to the event who suggest the bout is likely to be signed to the evening's main card.
WEC 41 is scheduled for June 7 in Sacramento, Calif., and will be headlined by the featherweight title rematch between current champ Mike Brown and former belt-holder Urijah Faber.
After making his way to the finals of "TUF 5," Gamburyan suffered a shoulder injury in his live-finale bout with Nate Diaz. Gamburyan bounced back with submission wins in the UFC over Jeff Cox and Nate Mohr, but recent losses to Thiago Tavares and Rob Emerson left the "Pitbull" seeking a drop to 145-pounds.
Franchi will be looking for his second-straight win in the organization after earning a split-decision win over Mike Budnik at March's "WEC 39: Brown vs. Garcia." The 26-year-old has reeled off five straight wins to open his career since turning pro in October 2007.
The bout is the first reported contest for the card since the official announcement of WEC 41 and the evening's main event. The night's main card will air live on VERSUS.
As much as this guy is hated... as much as I hate him myself, I have to say that I think this is a good addition to the FW division, because there is not too many big names in there. Manny isn't exactly a big name but he is known, one for being on TUF and two for being Karo Parisyan's cousin.
