UFC bantamweight Manny Gamburyan eager to fight 'Mr. Tate' Bryan Caraway

Manny Gamburyan calls out bantamweight rival, Bryan Caraway.

Former TUF finalist Manny Gamburyan has been competing under the Zuffa banner for eight years. He debuted as a lightweight in 2007, dropped down to the WEC's featherweight division in 2009, and now identifies as a UFC bantamweight. So when by Gamburyan's standards, relative UFC newcomers like Bryan Caraway make their splash in the organisation and don't respect seasoned veterans of the sport, the Armenian takes it personally.

Things first kicked off between Gamburyan and Caraway in 2013 during The Ultimate Fighter 18. The rivalry between coaches Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate had reached boiling point, and even opposing training partners formed their own feuds.
