"I will be fighting August 9 in Minnesota," Parisyan told 15rounds. "There are a couple of names being thrown around, but there’s no opponent yet." Parisyan dropped his last fight against Thiago Alves in what many, including Parisyan himself, felt was a controversial referee stoppage at UFN 13 in Denver, Co.

Gamburyan can now look forward to a TUF 5 reunion with Rob Emerson. "I am back in the Octagon in August against Rob Emerson," said Gamburyan.
