Edmen Shahbazyan will look to go 4-0 in the Ultimate Fighting Championship overall and 3-0 this year when he faces Brad Tavares at UFC 244 on Saturday.
Thus far in 2019, he has knocked out Charles Byrd in less than a minute at UFC 235 and submitted Jack Marshman at UFC 239 in the first round. To get a chance to compete on one of the biggest cards of the year will be a surreal experience for the 21-year-old.
“I’m blessed to be fighting on these cards and it motivates me to be on these cards,” Shahbazyan said to Sherdog.
