PITTSBURGH – With three-straight defeats on his record and facing a
potential release from the promotion, Xtreme Couture’s Tyson Griffin
knew his back was against the wall.
Dropping to 145 pounds for the first time in his UFC career and facing
recent title challenger Manny Gamburyan, Griffin delivered a much-needed
unanimous-decision victory.
The bout served as the featured contest of Sunday’s UFC on Versus 4
preliminary card. The seven-fight preliminary portion, which took place
at Pittsburgh’s CONSOL Energy Center, streamed live on Facebook and
preceded the evening’s Versus-broadcast main card.
