Manny Gamburyan vs Jeff Fox Added to Fight Night 13

Just as we thought UFC Fight Night 13 couldn’t get any better it did. TUF alumni Manny "The Pitbull" Gamburyan has been added to the card and will take on King of the Cage veteran Jeff Cox at the April 2 event.

The Wrestling Observer as well as Cox’s camp have confirmed the bout which will now bring the total number of matches on the card to 12. I guess it’s a good thing that the event has been extended to three hours.

UFC Fight Night 13 Live takes place at the Broomfield Event Center near Denver, CO.

Gamburyan is known for his ferocious style and never say die attitude in the ring. On season 5 of "The Ultimate Fighter" Manny made it to the finals but lost to Nate Diaz early in the second round. Unfortunately he sustained a shoulder injury after winning round one of the fight and could not continue. Manny’s next fight was at UFC 79 in December where he quickly reestablished himself as a force to be reckoned with in the lightweight division. It took him only a minute and a half to submit Nate Mohr via an achilles lock that looked like it broke Mohr’s leg.

Cox carries an impressive record of 9-4 with four submissions and four knockouts. The 40 year old Cleveland police officer has only fought once in the UFC and lost via arm triangle choke to Gleison Tibau at UFC Fight Night 10 in June of 07. His last fight was in December where he knocked out Joe Cronin at the IFO’s Fireworks in the Cage IV event.
