As expected, Manny Gamburyan (13-8 MMA, 4-6 UFC) is making the move to the 135-pound division, and he’ll debut in the class against Cody Gibson (12-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC 178.

The new matchup was first reported by the Glendale News-Press and subsequently confirmed by UFC officials.

That run started at lightweight in a five-fight UFC run before he transitioned to the WEC four four fights in the featherweight division. He shifted back to the UFC in 2011 an dhas had mixed results in the time, prompting a move to 135 pounds.

Meanwhile, Gibson fights for the third time under the UFC banner. He debuted for the promotion at February’s UFC 170 event, where he lost to top prospect Aljamain Sterling, snapping a six-fight winning streak. Gibson returned to action in June, scoring a 38-second stoppage over Johnny Bedford.
