Tyson Griffen will be fighting Manny G.  How do you guys see this fight going?  I didn't see this posted yet.. my apologies if it was.

There's not many FW better then Manny...should be a great test for Tyson to start his run at FW...I believe if he beats Manny he'll be a fight away from a shot at Aldo/Hominick

Should be a good scrap. Tyson's wrestling vs Manny's judo.

This will be a most excellent fight.  I'll be rooting for Tyson in this one.  He desperately needs a win.

I haven't seen whether it will be on the main card or not.  If anyone sees it reported from a news source, let me know and I can update it from prelims to main card.

I think Tyson Griffin is a great fighter that has just not had very great luck lately I think he is going to be a beast a FW. I'm guessing he will decision Gamburyan but he is a top FW so who knows for sure especially with it being his first cut to 145 in a long time. I swear I remember an interview with him maybe around the time he had just joined the UFC and said he would never make the cut again because it was so hard on him but I guess it just goes to show never say never. He has had some awesome fights, especially the Edgar one and pretty much always puts on a show, I think 9/10 he would beat Gomi and I missed the Lentz fight but I have heard it was a pretty bad decision by the judges. If he wins against Manny though I think that will prove a ton and in my opinion he will be top 5 in the division at some point win or lose.

That just shows how much confidence Joe Silva has in Tyson, givin him such a tough fight while hes on a skid.  Definitely see Tyson pulling it out.

I'm thinking Griffin by UD. His boxing is sharp, and his wrestling should make for a fun grappling match with Manny's judo, but Tyson will likely be on top.

Wow, Joe Silva doesn't mess around. I did not see this one coming. Going for Tyson on this one. I still dislike Manny for knocking out Mike Brown.

Tyson has been in a bit of a slump lately. I really hopes he can pull himself out of this downturn. A win over Manny is a way to make a huge splash at FW.

To be honest i think everyone puts a little bit too much hype into Manny after he KO'd Mike Brown. I just don't see it. I think Tyson will out box Manny all night long and get a TD in the 3rd round. I haven't seen many of Manny's fights but he seems like more of a wrestler than a Judo guy. All the TD's i've seen him use have been against the cage. WAR Tyson.
