Brendan Allen enters this middleweight main card bout at UFC Vegas 118 on a two-fight win streak that includes a first-round stoppage of top-ranked Reinier de Ridder and a decision over Marvin Vettori, positioning the No. 6-ranked contender to extend his momentum against Edmen Shahbazyan. Shahbazyan arrives on his own three-fight winning streak capped by a first-round knockout of Andre Muniz at UFC 320, showcasing improved finishing power after earlier career setbacks. Allen accepted the matchup after a planned bout with Dricus Du Plessis fell through, citing a desire for consistent paydays while maintaining his ranking trajectory. Key factors include Allen’s grappling-heavy approach and UFC experience against Shahbazyan’s reach, striking volume, and recent knockout threat in a fight that could hinge on whether the younger fighter’s resurgence holds against a proven middleweight.
