Edmen Shahbazyan was born in Glendale, California, in the United States of America in November 1997. He fights out of Glendale, California but is proud of his Armenian heritage; he is seen bringing the country’s flag to many of his MMA fights.
Shahbazyan got into mixed martial arts training at the young age of 9, and has been at his current gym, Glendale Fighting Club, since the age of 12. In his teenage years, he was also the training partner for UFC legend Ronda Rousey.
He is currently managed by Rousey’s One Fight Management. Shahbazyan started his MMA journey in California itself, where he mustered a 6-0 record- all those wins came in a first-round knockout. What followed next was a call-up to Dana White’s coveted, most sought-after MMA promotion in the world.

He was on an 11-fight winning streak and a 5-fight UFC winning streak until he met Derek Brunson at UFC Vegas 5 on August 1, 2020. Brunson won via TKO in round 3 to hand The Golden Boy his first-ever MMA loss.
