At just 22 years of age, Edmen Shahbazyan is one of the brightest up-and-coming prospects in the UFC. Shahbazyan is a precise striker that is a product of Dana Whites Contender Series 2018. Though Shabazyan has faced some okay level talent outside the UFC, in his 5 fight stint with the promotion (including DWCS fight) not only has he faced good competition but he has also managed to finish almost every fight. Shabazyan’s most impressive finish to date was his last time out again Brad Tavares back in November of 2019. Edmen was flowing through striking combinations and caught a clean knockout as a result, with all of his techniques looking effortless. In 11 fights Shabhbazyan has 10 first-round finishes.
