Pick: Manny Gamburyan
Analysis: I guess it's very easy to count out Manny Gamburyan in this spot but this drop to bantamweight is long overdue & if his power follows him then he just might make some noise. Gibson likes to brawl & has good movement so there's always a chance that he can catch & drop Gamburyan but I like my chances with Manny in this one. It does suck that Manny is moving down in weight class because he is small for 145 & his first opponent is a massive Bantamweight at 5'10" but I believe Gamburyan will be able to close the gap while landing huge bombs & getting takedowns. Gibson can leave his chin too high during exchanges & it'll cost him as he gets dropped & finished inside the distance. If Gamburyan can't get a finish then I expect him to outwork Gibson en route to a close decision victory.
