The fact that Edmen can potentially fight the likes of Romero, Till, Whittaker, Costa, Adesanya is very exciting, 135, 155, & 185 are by far my favorite divisions, the matchups that can be made are absolutely phenomenal
145 as well. Volkanovksi, Holloway, Zombie, Zabit, Ortega, Yair, Kattar etc.
At 185 straight up killers
@@humzachudhary2056 That's 135
135 through to 85 are all juicy rn
@@Unscripted9 lol yes you're right xd, my bad!
The way he pushes tavares' head towards that high kick is beautiful.
He didn’t push him towards it, it’s just a range finder and helps maintain balance
@@elliottdodson50 it was a range finder and a distraction for sure. Very common technique, jab hides the high kick
@@elliottdodson50 it's both brother. He clearly pushed him towards it with the palm of his hand to the left, opposite direction of a jab.
@@elliottdodson50 he puts his fist in Tavare's line of vision to hide the high kick, very high IQ for someone his age, he finishes Brunson in the 2nd.
@@rhull3939 I disagree bro, Tavares himself moves his head towards that way to try and dodge his 'jab'. It's common to use that hand to block line of sight aswell while going for the kick. Watch from 4:41, you can see Tavares drop and shift his hip towards that direction; it wasn't the push. Either way it was a beautiful KO no doubt!
He fights like somebody with years more experience than he has we've a genuine contender in this guy
Its the head movement
I like the little dip he does.
@@jaws901 lol
Julian I’ll be back to tell you Shabaz we face adversity until he enters the top 6
Wont*
The kid is a beast very well rounded he's strong but still growing physically definitely a future champion
Facts. He's got that..."F#*@ you, I really don't give a F&$^ about you or your momma."...type of fearlessness. Anyone walking into the octagon is fearless, not everyone has the F you fearlessness.
The Brain How about Khamzat beats someone that is not a bum before giving him someone like Edmen
what’s wrong with stomach or abdomen ? why is there something poking out or extending from both sides of his stomach ? is that a abdomen deformity or physical condition and if so wouldn’t that make him more prone to damage by body shots since he has those cone like things coming out of him ?
@Marco Solis what a incel, you're so useless lmao
He’s won Boxing tournaments and Grappling tournaments. He’s very well rounded
What I’m most impressed with is his fight IQ. He knows when to throw strikes and which ones to throw. He’s gonna be great.
joe?
Dafydd Johnson Lmao literally right after I commented I go to that part of the video.
Dafydd Johnson haha
White Balls People like you just like to complain. Smile, it’s really not all that bad.
Him an o malley have some of the best fight IQ ive ever seen we are being wowed by these guys in 2020 like we or who was there back in 2010 when people were wowed by anderson silvas striking at the time
They're giving him tougher competition than Omalley
Chito Vera is tougher and more skilled than Derrick Brunsen imo. 185 is so shallow compared to 145
Omalley been out for 2 years too tho
As well as Khamzat
alan calder *135
Roy Nelson i agree i have just rewatched some of edmens fights and the different in skill tempo and especially (and thats the most importamt in the real deal debate imo) is the control he has over the octagon when you watch fights from conor or khabib it always with khabib most of all fighters seem like the other guys just dont have a chance they never even come close to really fighting its more like a big brother playing with the little one Thats kinda the feel you get with edman with omalley who i really like its not like that his ko sometimes seem more luck than anything hes skill wise far away i dont think hes really close to the top 12 i wouldnt bet for him against any of these if i had to
Shout out all the Armenian brothers tuning in Saturday 😄 Armenia Strong 🇦🇲
The craziest part of all this is that Edmond Tarverdyan is his fricking coach
Must be annoying having someone sit on you
that's vandalism tsk tsk
HEAD MOVEMENT
@@Fluffyolphert He spelt it couch lol
He lays on him???😁🤭
This kid is great to watch. What an athlete with killer instinct! Only 22 years old bright future ahead of him for sure
I like everything about this kid, except that Ronda Rousey is managing him. he doesn't need her, he just needs " head movement."
same ahahaha. i want to trust her in management but then i think about her personality. fuck man
Dude Ronda rousey as his Manager will be great for him everyone knows Dana was sweet on her he’ll probably get a fast track
@Randominator why is this left wing propaganda what hahahah
@@shiva_speedruns367 The fools in the MMA community confuse me
He grew up training with her, he was in his late teens when she was on her legendary shit. I think it’s smart by him to keep things close, it’s not like she has any hidden intentions. They’re friends.
Man hes my age and dropping fools in the UFC
Ikr
Well, another guy pushed way too soon by the UFC.
pro tip: watch movies at Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Pablo Dustin Yup, have been watching on kaldroStream for years myself =)
The KO of Tavares is one of the best KO's I've seen, absolutely beautiful.
I’d love to see a potential match up with Edmen and Darren Till,
I think he would beat till this kid has been training martial arts his whole life
Roy Nelson Edmen could ask for Cannonier too
For gods sake don’t feed till to him
Sean Jared is a beast
Should call out Romero or Canonier after he KOs Brunson
Edmen my. Brother. Thank you. 🇦🇲
Derek Brunson: hold my beer
Oh wow a 36 year old div II wrester beat a 21 year old, he must be so good that Bumson guy
Man we've been blessed with some consistently amazing fights lately. This kid is ahead of his time!
Insane wow, good on you mma is where entertainment is at
Oh how the mighty have fallen....
That 1 2 punch combo and high kick hidden behind that left jab was Beautiful 😵😵😵
So far so good. Looking forward to see more.
What a good job the ref did in the last fight to jump in between them
I know right? To be a good MMA referees you need to be courageous enough to jump between a middleweight mid punch and his unconscious opponent
He’s like the big version of Calvin kattar
Wow the view of this video so clear it’s beautiful please whatever camera you using keep using it because it’s the best video I’ve ever seen oh and about the fight it was fast and good👏👍💪
I'm just now realizing that I am a HUGE fan of the 3 man team of anik, Rogan, and dom. Normally its DC and Dom. I really like how they compliment eachothers commentating styles.

@Michael Jordan ??
1st fight : early stoppage 2nd fight : elbow to back of the head This kid is all hype Brunson will murk him.
Let me know ur next bets for the next fight LOL!
@@jelanilee5057 I made a fortune on this fight couldn't believe Brunson was a - 300 underdog. I even recouped the losses i suffered through Gustafson last week. Put your money on Stipe on the 15th.
Mfundi Mkhize I made $360 last night. It’s my second time betting so I didn’t want to invest too much. But I’m down with you for that next bet lmbo! Let’s keep in touch. I couldn’t believe it either, brunson is a beast. They were seriously sleeping on him
@@mfundimkhize3137 stipe????? NOOOOOOOOOO stipe is not DC level
@@jelanilee5057 I don't bet more than $200. I put a full $200 on Brunson and made $700. Always bet what you don't mind losing.
Big potential to be something special. Definitely gonna be watching this man's career with interest.
Finally, the 90's MIDI file music is used sparingly. Keep it up UFC. Edmen should have music as specatucular as the way he fights. Keep the 90's RTS MIDI music for fighters like Nunes, Hardy, Woodley, Usman etc.
That last head kick. My god.
whos hare after the hype failed
I haven’t heard any interviews with Edmen, but he seems really likeable for some reason.
How fast was Chris Tognoni jumping in to save Tavares at the end, give that man a raise
Brunson is a stepping stone now for Dana to build prospects like RDA and Demian Maia
Gatekeeper.
Believe Inyourself and rda was a champ he’s too small for welterweight he needs to go back down he’s a beast
Brunson is the king of Gatekeepers RDA is right behind
1:46 Elbows literally to the back of the head.. He tried the exact elbows on Brunson and then got KTFO.
Head kick was outstanding! 👌
Great. Very goooood videos! 👍👍
The one question all you guys ask Whats about his ribs???
He has pectus excavatum and rib flare.
He has pectus excavatum and rib flare.
He has expecto patronum and rick flair
😂
He has expresso coffee and nature boy... let’s see how this ends...
It’s impressive how he is that good at just 22 years old
Hes been training for years obviously
that head kick from Edmen Shahbazyan was so beautiful he got some crazy talent crazy skills he is a problem for the middleweight division
He's great, has great energy and dynamism. I like the way he uses distance almost like a fencer.
3:05 For the boys
Damn I was about to put it myself
Hahahah great
@Killikia Productions it's the internet my man. Respect does not exist here
Killikia Productions Don’t act like you weren’t thinking the same thing
Killikia Productions S I M P
It is so weird watching videos like this over a year later and Shahbazyan has lost 3 straight and is unranked
Brunson is knocking him out tonight.
Good call
He's got the Askren rib thing
ive got that too on one side. Its from boxing in many cases, broken and dislocated ribs.
Lol what?
@White Balls jones is that you?
@@iNeverLikedYou oh word?
@@dano1307 what?
"Don't mind the surname it's just EDMEN folks."
@Oliver McCall "What's wrong with you falling on a joke of a retarded person😂."
He just had a fight with a 36 yr old brunson, and just got found out. It's safe to say he does'nt have championship quality if you ca'nt beat a guy who's on his way out as an up and comer then you dont have what it takes.
Hes young give him a few years and he'll be there currebtly no
@@brian8861 hopefully it's a big lesson for him.
you guys see Melsik Baghdasaryan there supporting at 3:05 . GFC fam baby!
Dude is a beast!
The hyping Rousey is giving this guy before he's fought anyone, just like Rogan hyping her back in the day.
Hayerov 1000 like havaqenq 🇦🇲
Awesome work by the ref in the last clip
Crazy cant wait for his fight tomorrow
we need edmen vs chimaev - two absolute animals with so much potential
Yeah dude. Force one of your two best prospects of all time to lose prematurely. Great idea. Youtoob God help us.
Hahaha no
Don’t you dare...
Exposed...
This young man is going to be a champ no doubts bout that !
A Great fighter and a nice character!! I Hope he gets the Belt
🇦🇲🔥The Golden Boy ⚜️
It's taking a lot of discipline for me to not put my stimulus check on him to TKO/KO Brunson.....
-193 odds. Bet 100 bucks and treat yourself to a nice steak dinner with the earnings.
@@davidwhite890 Well, my discipline paid off this time!!! HAHA
nice reffing on the tavares stoppage
definitely an upcoming legend
Hype train seriously derailed thanks to the "gatekeeper" Brunson. Edmen had no gas tank at all and Brunson fought the smartest fight of his career.
Maybe he had gas tank but Brunson's body kick and his work against the fence mixed with the wrestling sapped quicky his energy.
Derrick “the contender when he doesn’t chase ko’s”Brunson
come on........ BRUNSON got chin problem, and this kid hits like a sniper, so KO round 1 and still undefeated !!
Derek baby chin Brunson
david r80 nah
Bruh
@@sarahtill3968 , i was wrong!! Yes , super mega wrong!! But.... i'm super super happy for DEREK BRUNSON!!! He deserved this big W !!!!!!!!
@@david_100 props mate
That was the most subtle switch kick I’ve ever seen but man did it generate some power
Called it. Brunson isn’t even a specialist but still a vet in the game that isn’t too old even though he is getting up there but Ed’s def got talent but simply too hyped too fast. Shoulda gave more younger and new blood rather than jump him into the top game so fast.
Hes going to knock out Brunson. Second round.
I see it ending in the first.. Worst case early second but most likely first round ko shabazyan
@Moonrock High meh. He's also lost some of his athleticism. I respect the man as a competitor, but in modern times his chin isn't the greatest and he has the key to the gates in the UFC. In my personal opinion. That's not to say he could prove me wrong, but there something about this young kid that everyone who fights his should take into consideration. Absolutely no fear because nobody has gave his a reason to have any. Brunson is on borrowed time.
1st dude won't be challenged until he gets to Israel
LOOOOOL UR BOY GOT SMASHED
@Moonrock High I'm eating my words for sure. I don't like him with Rondas team at all. Send him somewhere he can grow. Also Brunson looked great.
Its a weird main event since its only 3 rounds but i got Edmen ko round 1 i just think Brunson is a gatekepper in that divison and he sucks fighting world class strikers.
Lyoto Machida is wordclass, so is Anderson Silva. I’d say he arguably beat Anderson, and he KO’d the dragon. I’m no Brunson fan, but I think he belongs in the cage with the elite.
Where are you man??????? Did you watch Edmen get finished
Glendale, CA 🇦🇲
Im already hearing a loud "HEAD MOVEMENT!" in his near future. :D
Wonder how he'll react to a good body shot Those ribs are freakish lookin
Hes very tough
Lol yeah I always catch myself looking at his ribs. He's built... different to say the least 🤐🤐
Edmen gonna murder Brunson
tom wynn he lost twice in 2018 to serious contenders so 2019 they gave him nobody’s snd he didn’t impressively beat them, and edmen was undefeated with fast quick clean hands so you have to take my pick into co code ration even though he lost
Future champion for sure doesn't matter if he takes a few L's he's only 20 years old this kid has got most potential I've seen since I started watching UFC 9 years ago
Wow..... Killer......
Brunson is done for. and i knew that before i watched this
Brunson will take him to the shadow realm. he is just a hype train...
Already did!
He has great talent and technique. Cant wait to see him in the top 5
He’s never getting near the top five u melon
That jab head kick 😘
CoAch HeAd MoVement needs to RETIRE.
🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
Excellent referring at 4.20
You know what compares to the smoothness of silk? The quality of this video
Hype train derailed...
Am I gonna have to be the one to say it. He's a good fighter and definitely has potential but his girl at 3:05. Daaaaammmmnnnn, lol
She's basic asf😂😂 looks one of those plastic "Instagram Models"
Lmao cte bisping " look at that right,pardon me left, i mean right hook" Edmond threw a right mike lmao
Красавчик! Мы гордимся тобой Брат!!!
His torso doesn’t match the rest of his body
Yeah, he's kinda weirdly built, but well... lol.
Realistically he prolly shouldn’t of taken this fight I mean ffs the kid is 22. Going up against vet like Brunson is not the best idea; not to say he can’t win it’s just if he does there’s no more easy fights for him to develop himself as a fighter. Hope he wins tho still 🔥
Brunson isn't good enough tbh
@adorable cheetah doubt me now.
This guy is the new generation. He will eventually become champion.
This dude is crazy.
I want to see him succeed because of the camp he comes out of he’s like almost expected to fail at some point but I hope he can keep it going he seems cool
Yup he failed 🤣🤣
@@duwaine96 he changed gyms
3:04 👀
No tat beats up tats , gotta love it.
21 year old and is given to fight Tavares and Brunson, this guy is no joke.
The headkick on Tavares is insane
Can’t wait to see Edmen fight Saturday
It's amazing he fights this well despite the efforts of his couch.
Highly skilled young fighter.
This guy is so gifted !! MMA is easy for him !!
Made Jack marshman look like an empty tracksuit and Jack is a beast!
Edmen needs more hype. Definitely will be champion one day. Been looking forward to August 1st all month even if it only lasts 3-6 minutes.
…
he's a beast
