UFC 282: Shahbazyan vs. Lungiambula picks and predictions

Records: Shahbazyan (11-3) | Lungiambula (11-5)

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

Despite 3-straight losses, Shahbazyan is still just 25 years old and has plenty of untapped potential. Lungiambula is a stronger striker but recent opponents have been able to remain patient and find holes in his standup game. With Shahbazyan being more of a sound, technical striker, this seems like a good fight for him to notch a win and get back on track.

However, the moneyline payout for Shahbazyan at -300 is not worth the risk, so you’re better off taking SHAHBAZYAN BY TKO/KO (+112).

Over/Under (O/U)

Both fighters have decision wins and losses under their belts as well as early- and late-round KO wins and losses. With Shahbazyan joining a new camp and possibly adopting a new strategy, it may be tough to predict a round finish for this bout.

AVOID the Over/Under.

Edmen Shahbazyan before UFC 282: Changes made, ready to ‘put on a performance of my life’

Edmen Shahbazyan has sat out more than a year, relocated and even changed management looking to get back on track at UFC 282.

[autotag]Edmen Shahbazyan[/autotag] says he’s made the necessary changes to try and get back into the win column.

The once undefeated and highly touted prospect has changed management and camps after enduring a three-fight losing skid. Shahbazyan (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) is now based out of Las Vegas and has taken a year off to round out his skills.

He returns against Dalcha Lungiambula (11-5 MMA, 2-4 UFC) on Saturday at UFC 282 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN2 and early prelims on ESPN+.

“A lot of things changed,” Shahbazyan told MMA Junkie. “Just switched my management, switched my camp and my residency. Out here is amazing. I took a little over a year off just to improve and get better and work on any flaw that I had and just improve as a fighter. I’m happy to be where I’m at, so Saturday it’s gonna show.”

He continued, “With the coaching staff that I have now and training partners, all the high-level guys I have now, I feel like I’m getting so much better and have gotten so much better since my last fight.”

Shahbazyan’s past three losses came to ranked opposition in Derek Brunson, Jack Hermansson and Nassourdine Imavov, who predominantly tried to take him down. With 10 first-round finishes to his name, Shahbazyan is known for his fast starts, but when facing a fellow explosive fighter in Lungiambula, the 25-year-old will take a different approach.

“I know Dalcha is a powerful and explosive dude,” Shahbazyan said. “Whoever I face, I try to come in the best and prepare myself the best I can. And Dalcha, I’m ready for him. I’ve trained hard, worked hard and committed a lot, and I’ve sacrificed a lot. So I’m ready to put on a performance of my life and Saturday night, it’s gonna be good.”

After an unbeaten 11-0 start to his professional MMA career, including a knockout of Brad Tavares, Shahbazyan has dropped three straight. The 24-year-old lost to ranked contenders Derek Brunson, Jack Hermansson and most recently Nassourdine Imavov last November at UFC 268.

Lungiambula also has struggled of late. The Congo native is 1-3 since debuting at middleweight, with three losses in a row to Marc-Andre Barriault, Cody Brundage, and Punahele Soriano.

  • Robbie Lawler vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio
