It seems as though Edmen Shahbazyan really has upward momentum going for him now, as he scored a late first-round finish of Andre Muniz during the UFC 320 prelims.
After a competitive opening to the fight, Muniz briefly stunned Shahbazyan and attempted a takedown. Shahbazyan, however, managed to reverse momentum with sharp counterstriking.
Late in the round, "The Golden Boy" landed a sharp left hand that wobbled Muniz, swarming him with a flurry of shots. Shahbazyan landed strong ground-and-pound, putting Muniz out and forcing a referee stoppage with only two ticks left in the opening frame.
