Edmen Shahbazyan displayed a much more patient version of himself at UFC 282.
Shahbazyan (12-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) finished Dalcha Lungiambula (11-6 MMA, 2-5 UFC) by TKO at the 4:41 mark of Round 2 in their middleweight bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The 25-year-old was able to evade Lungiambula’s explosive strikes and showed good takedown defense in Round 1 before blasting him with a knee and unleashing a barrage for the stoppage win in Round 2.
