The Ultimate Fighter 5 results Episode 10 – Manny Gamburyan

Posted on June 15th, 2007

Winner: Manny Gamburyan

The fighters come to the center of the octagon and Joe Lauzon throws a high kick and Manny takes Lauzon down. Manny essentially mirrors his fight with Wiman by laying on Lauzon trying to score points and burn time. Lauzon is staying active on the ground attempting submissions. Joe almost gets out from underneath Manny twice but Manny manages to take him down again quickly both times and continues to lay on him. The round ends uneventfully. During the mid round break BJ tells Lauzon to get pumped and take over the fight.

The second round starts and Manny attempts another take down. Lauzon holds him off and they end up in a clinch on the fence. They grapple a little then Joe goes for a submission but ends up falling in to full guard. Gamburyan returns to trying to kill Joe Lauzon with boredom. The ref stands them up and Manny again mauls Joe towards the fence and gets a weak leg trip to take Lauzon down. Lauzon manages to get a good reversal and back to his feet, but the time runs out. Luckily for Lauzon there is a third round because he is losing this fight.

The third round starts and Lauzon looks tentative. Manny takes some weak shots. Gamburyan shoots again and Lauzon throws a knee that connects but gets taken down in the process. Manny lays on Lauzon until a minute thirty left in the round. Lauzon sweeps and almost takes Manny’s back then goes to mount. Manny gets out of a choke attempt and landed on top and punched Lauzon until the horn blew. Manny wins a unanimous decision.
