Edmen Shahbazyan Delivers Devastating First-Round Knockout at UFC Vegas 102

Edmen Shahbazyan continues to showcase his formidable early-fight skills in the Octagon. At UFC Vegas 102, “The Golden Boy” added another impressive first-round finish to his record, swiftly dispatching Dylan Budka in just 95 seconds.

The calculated Shahbazyan landed a powerful right hand that sent Budka crashing to the canvas. From there, the knockout was inevitable, with referee Chris Tognoni quickly intervening to halt the contest.

Budka, who entered the fight with a 0-2 UFC record, struggled to close the distance effectively against Shahbazyan. Once the opportunity presented itself, Shahbazyan capitalized without hesitation, securing the knockout in dramatic fashion.
