A final elbow strike from Derek Brunson rattled 22-year-old prospect Edmen Shahbazyan and possibly left him unconscious for a brief moment at the end of the second round in the UFC Vegas 5 main event.
While it appeared that Brunson could have been declared the winner right then and there, Shahbazyan was allowed to continue, but only after the cageside physician came into the octagon to check him out. After a few moments, the doctor finally gave the go-ahead, and Shahbazyan was allowed to continue as the final round got underway.
For his part, UFC President Dana White felt like Shahbazyan was probably done at the end of round two and the fight should have been stopped.
