Las Vegas — Needless to say, 2025 has been a big year for middleweight Edmen Shahbazyan, who earned his third win since February care of a knockout of Andre Muniz at UFC 320.
That’s in stark contrast to the rough patch Shahbazyan went through just a few years ago.
“I feel great. That’s three in a row this year. I’m happy, it was a first-round finish,” Shahbazyan (16-5) said while speaking with media outlets including Cageside Press following the bout. “Yeah, we’re going to keep moving forward.”
Shahbazyan doesn’t sound like he’s in a rush to return to action, despite having three fights, with two finishes, in 2025.
“We’re going to take it one fight at a time. Keep getting better,” he stated. “I don’t want to get too ahead of myself right now, I just want to take it one fight at a time.”
That’s how the Xtreme Couture fighter is looking to handle his career moving forward, in fact. One fight at a time.
“I think it’s going to be the approach I’m going to take for the rest of my career. Because when I do it that way, I feel like I’m focused. I’m getting better and strategizing better for a single opponent, my next opponent. And I feel like it’s better for my mindset.”
