Whats next for Edmen Shahbazyan??

[MyFavSport]

After he got beat by Brunson the hype train tipped over and since I've not heard a thing about him.
He's just 23 years old.
There are lots of good options for him at 185. Alot of those options are booked.
I dont know what they will or should do with Edmen next.

But Sherdog is full of smart people, so I assume you guys can give me an answer.

It's certainly an interesting question. Taking a look at who's beating whom around the back of top 15 and the fringe, maybe Krystof Jotko or something?

 

[Xavier]

Hermansson ?

Both coming off losses and both could use a win to stay relevant in the top 15.

 

[fightfan70]

buckley?

 

[asdf122345]

Kelvin Gastelum.

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

bellator

 

[Morning Star]

Head movement.

 

[MyFavSport]

Sean Strickland or Tom Breese mayb

Brendan Allen (another young MW) whenever he is ready to get back in the octagon.

This is a fair matchup for Edmen, as he isn't going to be fighting up coming off a loss, but will still get an opponent just outside the rankings who he matches up relatively even with; Edmen having a striking advantage and Allen having the grappling advantage but both being more than capable of knocking out/submitting one another.

Kelvin Gastelum.

Kelvin is fighting Heinisch in February. That would be a real tough matchup for Edmen after the beating he took by Brunson, he needs a step back in competition. Someone like Krzysztof Jotko makes sense, they were scheduled to fight at one point but it fell through.

 

[RicardinhoPT]

A high ranked or unranked opponent would be good for him, give him some time

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Paulo Costa

 

[RockyLockridge]

buckley?

if he wins his next fight this sounds right to me. maybe feed him a really low level guy for 3 fights or so just to build him up.

 

[CalvilloRay]

A treadmill

 

[Viking Power]

Head movement.

He can learn it from Rhonda

Honestly i was thinking of doing this thread today

 

[Yungrich]

Krtstof maybe or perhaps Ian heinch. Uriah hall if they want a more favorable striking battle against a ranked opponent but I’m always rooting for hall so I hope not.

 

[puppybird]

Rematch Darren Stewart

 

[McSpikes]

back to the 10-25 rank gauntlet who knows if he will evolve to become a real contender? I doubt it, I feel he will drop off into obscurity like Jury

He’s the silver boy after Brunson got done with him.
