Edmen Shahbazyan vs Jack Hermansson will be an extremely interesting fight at middleweight
The 23-year-old Shahbazyan was billed as the next big thing from Canada. He made his debut on Dana White’s Contender Series in July 2018 with a win over Antonio Jones.
He then went on a four-fight win streak with three of the four wins coming via stoppage. However, ‘The Golden Boy’ suffered his first loss last August when divisional veteran Derek Brunson stopped him in round three. He will be aiming to get back into the win column against an extremely tough opponent in ‘The Joker’.

‘The Joker’ has not had the best run as of late. He is 1-2 in his last three fights with a win over Kelvin Gastelum, sandwiched in between losses to Jared Cannonier and Marvin Vettori. He will aim to get back into the win column against a relatively in-experienced fighter in ‘The Golden Boy’.
In his last fight, a veteran in Derek Brunson proved too much for him. This time he faces another extremely experienced fighter in Hermansson.
