Set to fight Manny Gamburyan, Johnny Eduardo complains about long layoffs in the UFC

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Johnny Eduardo is finally returning to action almost one year after his last fight, and he’s not happy about it.

The Nova Uniao fighter takes on Manny Gamburyan at UFC Fight Night 100 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Nov. 19, and the fact that he wasn’t able to fight more than once in a calendar year since signing with the promotion and that has frustrated him.

"The thing that makes me upset is how long it took for the UFC to put me to fight," Eduardo, who lost to Aljamain Sterling last December, said during a media day in Rio de Janeiro.
