Quick read
Edmen Shahbazyan steps into a significant challenge this weekend, taking on the fourth-ranked middleweight in the UFC. Once a top-10 contender himself, Shahbazyan fell out of the top 15 after three consecutive losses through late 2021, but has since gone 4-1 in his last five bouts. His recent opposition has been below the top-15 level, making this weekend's assignment a major step up in competition. Shahbazyan and his opponent share the same manager, Ali Abdelaziz of Dominance MMA.
