gazan Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I understand Chad Mendes is higher ranked in the featherweight division and has much better wrestling, but I still don't see how people are calling Manny Gamburyan a can and saying he's going to get dominated. Manny showed a lot of improvement in his stand up and even in his wrestling in his last fight and I think that even if he does get taken down by Mendes, there's a good chance his judo/jiu jitsu background can do him good.

Mike Brown was a great wrestler and look what happened to him. And if Mendes did knock Manny out, how would that be sad?

Mendes just isn't technically better than Manny everywhere but he's younger, faster, better conditioned, more confident, healthier...you get where this is going. Manny was never that great, never a top 10 FW there's plenty of guys outside the UFC and when he was on top in the WEC that would of wrecked him. He's a cool dude, he's built like an ox, heavy handed dude with a sick judo base but he's just not anything special never has been. Being crudely honest, don't take offense.

gazan Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yeah I agree with that but I think it's dumb to call the guy a can and completely count him out. I think he's way better than Cody McKenzie and Yaotzin Meza, and actually has a chance to win in this fight. Chances aren't in his favor but it's not that difficult to picture him winning.

Manny isn't a can and he's definitely better than McKenzy or Meza still I think out of Mendes league and this a mismatch because the UFC wants to keep Mendes from becoming a contender again over night.

SkyMonk89 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Manvil The Anvil is a beast He got obliterated by Aldo in WEC, which I'm sure you know. Also practically murdered him with ground and pound.. Gamburyan isn't bad, he's not awful, he'll just never win a belt.. Mendes will probably win by decision or maybe k.o. Manny can only knock him out maybe, but Mendes is much faster & won't get hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazan Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've seen people on other threads say that he's going to get obliterated by Mendes without a doubt and that the UFC just keeps feeding Mendes cans, including Gamburyan. And to whoever keeps rubbing in that Manny lost to Diaz, Manny was winning that fight til he dislocated his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White, you're technically Caucasian ? Ossetian? Middle Eastern/Arab? Just curious, maybe you'll say " Armenian " Heh, people from Armenia come in a lot of colors look at Manny who's paler than most Europeans and then Mousasi who looks very Arabic.
