Manuel Gamburyan Biography:

Armenian-born Manuel Gamburyan began his training in judo shortly after his family emigrated to the United States. He was a student at Gokor Chivichyan’s Hayastan Academy, and as a competitor, won ten junior nationals and one junior Olympics. He also competed with the 2000 judo junior world team, and is known among the fighting community as “The Pitbull.” He is also an avid follower of the UEFA and English Premier League. His professional record includes 5 wins and 2 losses.

Gamburyan was first seen in the Octagon ring of the Ultimate Fighting Championships during his fight with Sam Morgan. He won against Morgan but dislocated his shoulders in the process. Now, Gamburyan is back at the Octagon ring for another chance to prove his worth in SpikeTV’s reality series, The Ultimate Fighter 5.
