“I have a dream in my mind and a goal, I have to reach those goals, have big goals. I didn’t even go on my own graduation for my senior year of high school, I had a competition I was preparing for. It’s not like my parents told me I had to do it, we loved it and we did everything to benefit ourselves.”
The 11-0 prospect has been training with Ronda Rousey since the age of 15, at Glendale Fighting Club. His formal martial arts training at the age of 10 helped shape him into a well-rounded assassin at 185-pounds.
“It’s been a long preparation, so it’s given me even more time to be prepared. I’m coming into it in the best shape of my life. It really didn’t affect me in a bad way at all. It’s all been beneficial to me, positive and yeah, I’m coming in really good.”
“I love this”
The California native already has his sights set on dethroning Jon Jones as the youngest UFC champion in history. Not to mention he will have more challenges ahead if he is to actualize his goal.

“You demonstrate a good character outside the octagon by being a good person and being the guy that thinks he’s so strong and can beat anybody up, I don’t have that. I’m a normal guy, but whenever I get into the gym and fight, it’s different for me. It’s strictly focused business for me. I’m ready to go in there and kill or be killed. I love this.”
Chiefly, a win over Derek Brunson in his headlining opportunity will put the division on notice as to his capabilities. Shahbazyan will be looking to capitalize on his buzz and begin climbing the ranks at Middleweight.
