UFC Vegas 5: It is Not The End Of The Road For Edmen Shahbazyan

After suffering a thumping defeat at the hands of Derek Brunson, Edmen Shahbazyan is still in good spirits, and claims he will be back.

The fighter had contested in 11 fights before, and won all of them. With 10 first round finishes in his career, the Golden Boy was vouched by many to carry the same baton and register another victory.
