The undefeated Glendale Fighting Club prospect will meet Derek Brunson in the UFC Fight Night 173 headliner on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Joanne Calderwood risks her spot as the No. 1 contender at 125 pounds when she confronts Jennifer Maia in the flyweight co-main event.

Shahbazyan has rattled off 11 consecutive victories to start his career, 10 of them via knockout, technical knockout or submission. The 22-year-old last competed at UFC 244, where he brought down Brad Tavares with a first-round head kick on Nov. 2. Brunson, 36, finds himself on a two-fight winning streak after posting back-to-back victories over Elias Theodorou and Ian Heinisch. He owns an 11-5 record in the UFC.
