A middleweight matchup between longtime contender, Derek Brunson, and rising division prospect, Edmen ‘The Golden Boy’ Shahbazyan has been rescheduled for UFC Fight Night Vegas on August 1st. – as the promotion attempt to match the two for the third time.
Brunson and Shahbazyan were initially set to meet at UFC 248 in March until the pairing was rebooked for a UFC Fight Night Portland card, which was subsequently shelved amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
