Shahbazyan is a grappler who looks to end fights on the mat — of his 7 wins, 1 come by knockout, 6 by submission, and 0 by decision. He's a genuine finisher: 100% of those wins came inside the distance. 2 of his 2 defeats have come by KO/TKO, suggesting real vulnerability against powerful strikers. He's most dangerous once it hits the canvas; rangy strikers who keep it at distance pose the stiffest test.
